Abasolo Ancestral Corn Whiskey Alma Tierra is a Mexican corn whiskey crafted from Cacahuazintle corn — a treasured heirloom variety — using a 4,000-year-old nixtamalization process to unlock the full flavor of the corn, double-distilled in handcrafted copper pot stills and aged in both new toasted and used oak casks. 43% ABV.

Abasolo represents a uniquely Mexican approach to whiskey production. Nixtamalization — the alkaline cooking process used in traditional Mexican corn preparation — changes the chemistry of the corn before fermentation, producing a base spirit distinct from American bourbon traditions.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Roasted corn with subtle hints of leather and vanilla
