Abasolo Alma de la Tierra Ancestral Corn Whisky, Oaxaca, Mexico

Abasolo El Whisky De Mexico is crafted and distilled from 100% Mexican Cacahuazintle (kaka ¥ wha ¥ SINT ¥ lay) corn, which has beenÊcultivated and passedÊdown for moreÊthan 200 generations by local farmers for its distinct,Êextraordinary flavor.Ê

Of the many criollo varieties of corn originating in Mexico, Abasolo uses cacahuazintle in the production of Abasolo whiskey. 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. Cacahuazintle has large, bulky kernels and is typically used to make pozole, esquites and corn bread when the corn is tender. Unlike GMO corn hybrids, this ancestral corn has been passed down for generations and cultivated for its taste instead of its commercial productivity.
Destiler’a Abasolo works directly with farmers located in the mountainous areas of the State of Mexico. We pay without intermediaries and support our farmers with direct financing.

Deep, nuanced notes of roasted corn, honey, vanilla, black tea, and leather, revealed through nixtamalization, are true to our Mexican ancestral corn provenance and unlike any other whisky profile.
