All the decanters used for their tequila and mezcal portfolio are handmade and hand painted using the Mazahua people’s ancient techniques by their team of skilled workers in the town of Santa María Canchesda. And when Herencia Milenaria was approached by the spirits brand for this new project, despite being in the midst of a pandemic and commuting challenges, Santos said, “to Clase Azul, we can never say ‘no.’ They support us as artisans and we want to give back.” This strong sentiment is because, as a company, Clase Azul is committed to Mexican culture and heritage. Santos, who is renowned for his ceramics and decorate painting style, also makes contributions toward preserving the craft through his role as a teacher, cultural curator, and as the cofounder of Herencia Milenaria, a local artisan community in Tonalá, Jalisco, where his workshop is located. For its inaugural edition they’ve collaborated with award-winning artist Ángel Santos.
