Abasolo Mexican Corn Whisky

Rustic. Rich. Incredibly Original.
In the heart of Mexico, where ancient traditions meet modern craftsmanship, Abasolo El Whisky de México emerges as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. This innovative whisky is the first to utilize the ancient Mesoamerican process of nixtamalization, traditionally used in the preparation of corn for food, to create a spirit that is both unique and deeply rooted in Mexican history.

Crafted from 100% Cacahuazintle corn, a non-GMO heirloom variety cultivated for over 200 generations, Abasolo pays homage to the land and people who have preserved this ancient grain. The nixtamalization process enhances the natural flavors of the corn, imparting a distinctive character to the whisky that sets it apart from traditional spirits.

Aged in a combination of new toasted and used oak barrels, Abasolo develops a complex profile that balances the sweetness of the corn with subtle notes of vanilla, honey, and a hint of spice. Its smooth finish and rich flavor make it a versatile choice for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as the base for creative cocktails.

For whisky aficionados in Ireland, Abasolo offers a rare opportunity to experience a spirit that bridges the gap between ancient tradition and contemporary innovation. Its unique flavor profile and cultural significance make it a compelling addition to any collection.

Why we love it:
Abasolo is unlike any whisky you’ve tried before — not just because of the corn, but because of how it tells the story of place, tradition, and innovation. It’s smoky, silky, and wonderfully different.
