Made with 100% Mexican Cacahuazintle corn, Abasolo El Whisky De Mexico is a rich, complex Mexican corn whisky crafted by Destileria y Bodega Abasolo. Matured in virgin oak casks, this whisky offers a unique flavor profile that reflects the ancient traditions and heritage of Mexican corn cultivation. Mexico, proudly known as the birthplace of maize, has a history dating back thousands of years before Christ, when the indigenous people used a primitive form of modern maize for sustenance. Against this backdrop, it is only fitting that Mexico's first internationally acclaimed whisky is made from corn. The Abasolo distillery, situated at an elevation of 2,370 meters in the highlands of Mexico State, specializes in processing the indigenous Cacahuazintle variety, which is exclusively grown in the high-altitude regions of the country. To prepare the grain for distillation, the distillery employs the ancient method of nixtamalization. This process involves soaking and cooking the corn kernels in limewater, followed by washing and husking. This treatment makes the corn easier to grind, enhances its nutritional value, improves its flavor, and removes almost all mycotoxins. On the nose, Abasolo El Whisky De Mexico presents toasted notes, caramel, and hints of herbs. The palate unfolds with flavors of vanilla, honey, black tea, leather, and roasted corn, while a touch of citrus adds complexity. The finish is reminiscent of leather, toasted grains, toffee-like sweetness, and a slightly buttery texture. Overall, this whisky delivers a complex and nuanced flavor profile that showcases the rich heritage and intricate craftsmanship of Mexican whisky-making.
