The color is like a well aged Chardonay, the character and quality of the corn is what drives the flavor here with surprising nuance that reminds us just how diverse corn is and how unexplored its potential in distilled spirits remains. The gentle touch of oak lends a welcome but not overwhelming compliment of spice flavors helping to round out the profile. Notes include toasted hay, roasted chestnuts, white pepper, elote (corn), butterscotch and almond extract.

Production details
Corn is the single most important raw material in the Mexican nutrition system. It is the every-day main meal of millions of people that work long hours fueled by a tamal or a tortilla. The demographic changes in urban areas has given a huge growth potential for producers that need to cope with the massive demand has homogenized its processes and raw materials to an extent that endangers other corn species that have been cultivated in Mexico for thousands of years. Cacahuazintle is one of those ancestral corn species that have endured throughout the centuries and is now the raw material of Abasolo, El Whisky de Mexico. It is cultivated in Jilotepec, State of Mexico, a place that is said to be the birthplace of corn.
