The story behind it
The maker
Destilería y Bodega Abasolo was founded in Jilotepec de Abasolo, Mexico, with the vision of honoring Mexico's rich agricultural heritage. Operating at an altitude of nearly 8,000 feet, the distillery focuses on sustainable production using non-GMO, locally-sourced heirloom corn to pioneer a brand new category of Mexican craft whiskey.
How it is made
Abasolo is crafted at the Destilería y Bodega Abasolo, the first dedicated whisky distillery in Mexico. The spirit utilizes Cacahuazintle, a 100% ancestral Mexican corn variety that has been cultivated for generations, and undergoes a traditional culinary technique called nixtamalization to unlock its deepest flavors.
