Abasolo Ancestral Corn Whisky | 5cl (Miniature)
A Taste of Ancient Mexico: The World’s First Ancestral Corn Whisky
The Abasolo Corn Whisky Miniature offers a compact introduction to a truly unique spirit that defies traditional whisky conventions. Produced at the Destilería y Bodega Abasolo—the highest distillery in Mexico—this whisky is crafted from 100% Mexican Cacahuazintle corn. This specific heirloom variety is prized for its large, flavor-dense kernels and has been cultivated by local farmers for generations.
To unlock the corn's deep complexity, Abasolo employs Nixtamalization, a 4,000-year-old traditional Mesoamerican process typically used to prepare corn for tortillas. This technique, combined with double distillation in copper pot stills and maturation in virgin oak casks, results in a "rich and complex" profile that tastes of the Mexican terroir rather than a standard American bourbon.
