The Sierra Norte Mountains of Oaxaca Mexico, with their profuse flora, abundant wildlife, and crystal clear, flowing waters, support some of the world's most treasured biodiversity. More than that any other crops, corn embodies the life-giving relationship between these ancient mountains and their inhabitants. Descendants of the region's first farmers continue to grow native varieties of corn, carefully saving and replanting the best seeds from each harvest, as they and their ancestors have done for over 7,000 years. Sierra Norte distilling started with Master Distiller Douglas French's passion to use different varieties of this ancient, flavorful Oaxacan corn to make a series of unique, outstanding whiskeys in French Oak casks, so as to showcase its individual character and nuance.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
The palate is sweet, gentle, and refreshing, bathed in honey, with dried peel, sweet corn, toasted oak spices, and a late sensation of charred oak, burnt toast, and peppercorn. That slight burnt note just creeps into the finish.
This white corn whiskey is pleasantly sweet with a touch of fruity esters, with subtle notes of vanilla, pecan, and hazelnut. It has a bit of astringency to it and a healthy heat at 90 proof.
