Abasolo El Whisky De Mexico is crafted and distilled from 100% Mexican Cacahuazintle (kaka • wha • SINT • lay) corn.
Deep, nuanced notes of roasted corn, honey, vanilla, black tea and leather, revealed through nixtamalization. An homage to their ancestral corn provenance and a great choice for an Old Fashioned.
Abasolo uses a process called nixtamalization (a 4,000-year-old cooking technique) to prepare the corn before malting, mashing, double distilling and aging in ex-Bourbon casks.
Destileria y Bodega Abasolo is based in Jilotepec de Abasolo —about 1.5 hours outside of Mexico City. It's thought to be the first dedicated Whisky producer in Mexico.
Abasolo uses cacahuazintle in the production of Abasolo Whisky. This corn only grows at more than 7,000 feet above sea level and is found exclusively in elevated valleys throughout the States of Mexico, Tlaxcala and Puebla.
