Product Description

Destilería Abasolo is dedicated to capturing the millenary Mexican culture of corn in whisky and the importance of corn in Mexican culture. Their exceptional whisk is produced from 100% non-GMO, ancestral corn grown in the hills of Jilotepec, Abasolo. On the distillery grounds, the past and present exist side by side just as they do in the bottle to maintain the "Alma de la Tierra." Every element of the destilería is meant to reinforce and reinvent the ancient tradition and contemporary craft that is part of the Abasolo whisky-making process and inherent in contemporary Mexican culture.

Mexico is the birthplace of corn—first appearing approximately 10,000 years ago as the fruit of the domesticated teosinte cultivated by the first farmers of Mesoamerica. Corn became the primary food base of all indigenous Mexican culture, as well as a foundational element and valued heirloom in the identity of the country. Abasolo uses Cacahuazintle (kaka-wha -SINT-lay) corn in the production of their whisky. This corn only grows at more than 7,000 feet above sea level and is found exclusively in elevated valleys throughout the Tlaxcala and Puebla. Unlike GMO corn hybrids, this ancestral corn has been passed down for more than 200 generations by local farmers who cultivated it for its taste rather than its commercial productivity.

The corn is cooked in a quicklime bath to uncover the deepest notes of this ancestral corn. A 4,000-year-old cooking technique known as nixtamalization reveals the true flavor of the ancestral corn for a profile that's unlike any other whisky. It is then twice distilled through copper pots and barrel aged in ex-bourbon barrels for 2 years. The result is a whisky with deep, nuanced notes of roasted corn, honey, vanilla, black tea, and leather.
