Abasolo el Whisky de Mexico 750ML

Unearth the deep, ancient roots of New World distilling with Abasolo El Whisky de México. Far from your typical bourbon or traditional Scotch, this extraordinary spirit proudly claims its title as the first 100% Ancestral Corn Mexican Whisky. Crafted as an homage to Mexico's rich culinary culture and biological heritage, Abasolo brings an entirely unique flavor profile to the global whisky stage—one that is built upon thousands of years of tradition.

The soul of Abasolo lies entirely in its raw ingredient: Cacahuazintle (pronounced kaka-wha-SINT-lay). This specific non-GMO heirloom corn variety has been meticulously cultivated and passed down through more than 200 generations of local Mexican farmers. Thriving in the unique microclimates of high-altitude volcanic valleys, Cacahuazintle is prized for its exceptionally plump kernels and a distinctively sweet, intensely rich corn flavor that industrial grains simply cannot replicate.

To unlock the deepest flavor nuances of this ancestral grain, the Destilería y Bodega Abasolo utilizes a 4,000-year-old Mesoamerican cooking technique known as nixtamalization. The corn is gently cooked in an alkaline solution, a process traditionally used to make masa for hominy, tortillas, and tamales. This crucial step releases wrapped-up sugars, soft starches, and floral aromatics hidden deep within the grain. Following double-distillation in traditional copper pot stills, the spirit is gently matured in a combination of new toasted and used oak casks. The result is a smooth, medium-bodied, and deeply satisfying Mexican corn whisky that challenges and expands everything you know about world whisky.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Extremely clear, shimmering pale gold with light, elegant legs.

• Aroma (Nose): Fascinating and beautifully complex. Opens immediately with the warm scent of roasted corn, fresh pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), and vanilla bean, underpinned by dry popcorn kernels and a gentle floral undertone.

• Palate: Uniquely smooth, nutty, and velvety on the tongue. It delivers layers of sweet masa, melted buttered sweetcorn, and rich honey, balanced by earthy mid-palate notes of black tea, dried apricot, and a hint of fine leather.

• Finish: Crisp, dry, and evolving. It closes with a pleasant, lingering warmth of subtle baking spices, roasted pecans, and clean, slightly piney menthol and mineral undertones.

Serve Suggestions & Cocktail Mixology

Because Abasolo Mexican Whisky is deeply anchored in a culinary heritage, it functions beautifully as a standalone sipper or as an innovative base for reimagining classic cocktails.

• The Jilotepec Neat: Pour 2 oz of Abasolo into a Glencairn or rocks glass. Serve it neat at room temperature alongside a crisp craft beer or a small slice of orange dusted with worm salt to complement its sweet, earthy profile.

• The Mexican Old Fashioned: Stir Abasolo with a bar spoon of agave nectar, a dash of Nixta Licor de Elote (corn liqueur), and a couple of dashes of chocolate or Angostura bitters. Garnish with a fresh orange twist.

• The Abasolo Highball: Pour over a column of clear ice, top with premium sparkling mineral water (like Topo Chico), and express a lemon peel over the top for an incredibly crisp, refreshing summer drink.
