Product Description

Abasolo Ancestral Corn Whisky is crafted and distilled from the finest, non-GMO, Cacahuazintle corn which has been cultivated over generations by local farmers for its distinct, extraordinary flavor. Through our unique use of nixtamalization - a 4000-year-old cooking technique - the deepest notes of these ancestral ingredients are uncovered, resulting in a rich and smooth whisky with notes of roasted grain, vanilla, and honey.

What critics and judges wrote

IWSC judges · Gold · 2025
The bright, rich cereal aroma is complemented by sweetcorn and a vibrant herbaceous quality. On the palate, a creamy texture unfolds, embracing a fresh greenness that harmonizes beautifully. The finish is long and satisfying, echoing the warm touches of maize.

Falstaff · November 2023
Sweet cornbread, grain stalks and a hint of vanilla lie on the dense nose. Dry on the palate with a lot of spice that gains the upper hand as the taste progresses. Tobacco on the finish

Sweet on the nose with marzipan, apricot and pecan nuts. Quite powerful on the palate, with popcorn-like notes, dry tobacco and a slight sweetness through to the finish.
Whisky Advocate · Susannah Skiver Barton · 2020
… the nose has caramel, stewed apples and pears, orange peel, candied almond, and pencil eraser. A bit papery and green on the palate, with Popsicle stick, dried apple rings, and toasted grain, finishing hot and short.

Distiller · Jake Emen
The nose offers buttery popcorn, toffee, and masa, with a hefty undertone of roasty vegetal notes. … It's a young whisky and a little rough around the edges, though also unique and showing potential.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
