Abasolo El Whisky De Maíz Alma De La Tierra: A Revolutionary Mexican Spirit Rooted in Ancient Tradition!
Discover a new frontier in whisky with Abasolo El Whisky De Maíz Alma De La Tierra. This isn't just another corn whiskey; it's a revolutionary spirit that honors Mexico's rich history and agricultural heritage. Abasolo, which translates to "soul of the earth," is the world's first whisky to be made from 100% ancestral Mexican corn, using a 4,000-year-old traditional process called nixtamalization. This unique process, typically used for making tortillas and other masa-based foods, unlocks the deep and complex flavors of the corn, setting Abasolo apart from any other whisky on the market.
The corn used, called Cacahuazintle, is grown in high altitudes in the foothills of the Nevado de Toluca volcano, a region of Mexico renowned for its agriculture. After nixtamalization, the corn is ground, fermented, and twice-distilled in a distillery in Jilotepec, Mexico. The whisky is then aged in new charred and toasted oak barrels. It is bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof).
The flavor profile of Abasolo is a tribute to the corn that is its soul.
