Abasolo Corn Whiskey

Tasting Notes

Abasolo Ancestral Corn Whisky is Mexico’s flagship entry into the global whisky market, uniquely crafted from 100% ancestral Cacahuazintle corn. Produced at the Destilería y Bodega Abasolo—located at a breathtaking 7,800 feet above sea level in Jilotepec—it stands apart from traditional American bourbons and corn whiskeys due to its ancient Mesoamerican production techniques.

Combined with a fraction of malted corn, the mash undergoes a long fermentation (over 120 hours), is double-distilled in copper pot stills, and is matured in a mix of new toasted and old oak casks (often sourced from Buffalo Trace).

Very corn-forward but smooth. It opens with layers of honey, toffee, and black tea tannins, mixed with a savory hint of hominy, fresh tortillas, and light wood char.
