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.

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
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
Show 1 more review, 2022
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.
… 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.
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.
