Description
During Da de Muertos, a sea of unmistakable aromas fills the streets and homes in Mexican towns and cities. Ofrendas are adorned with copal, exquisite dishes and cempaschil flowers, meanwhile, local markets overflow with fruits, spices and sweets that give off fragrances that fill the air and awaken the senses.
The result is an enveloping atmosphere that leaves an indelible mark on ones memory; an aromatic landscape that any one of us could recognize with our eyes closed.
In this third installment of our five-year journey of portraying the most exquisite aspects of Da de Muertos, we are proud to present Clase Azul Tequila Da de Muertos Edicin Limitada Aromas, a tribute to aromas and the memories they evoke.

DECANTER
The decoration of this decanter expresses the importance of the cempaschil flower during the celebration of Da de Muertos and seeks to evoke its enchanting aroma.
A deep marigold glaze covers the decanter, darkening in color as it reaches the base. On the back of the piece, a dreamlike illustration depicts a fantastic scene in which a cast of folkloric characters accompanied by xoloitzcuintles (Mexican hairless dogs) participate in a harvest of cempaschil flowers of miraculous proportions.
ORNAMENT
The front of the decanter is adorned with an ornament bathed in 24-karat gold with a fine patina finish featuring bas-relief representations of the legends related to Da de Muertos and an arrangement of encapsulated cempaschil petals.
The intricate piece was made by hand by artisans from Tesistn, a community in the state of Jalisco, over the course of two weeks.
