Abasolo El Whisky De Mexico 43% abv is crafted and distilled from 100% Mexican roasted Cacahuazintle corn, which gives it distinctive notes of honey, vanilla, black tea, and leather through nixtamalization, a 4,000-year-old local cooking technique that involves cooking and soaking corn kernels in an alkaline solution, typically lime water. Destilería Abasolo lies in the heart of Jilotepec at an altitude of 7,800 feet, making it one of the highest distilleries in the world.
