FAIR Oaxaca Whiskey uses ancestral blue corn from Oaxaca, Mexico — double-distilled in copper alembic stills, aged four years in single-fill bourbon casks in Mexico, then finished for 6-12 months in virgin Limousin oak casks in Cognac, France. The result is a whiskey that spans two continents and two distilling traditions.
The ancestral blue corn gives FAIR Oaxaca a character reminiscent of Abasolo and early Balcones — roasted, nutty, with a density that modern yellow corn cannot match. The Mexican bourbon maturation provides vanilla sweetness, and the French Limousin finishing adds a Cognac refinement that is FAIR's distinctive touch.
FAIR Oaxaca is a genuinely interesting world whiskey that bridges Mexican corn heritage and French finishing expertise. The fair trade sourcing adds ethical credentials, the blue corn adds character, and the Franco-Mexican maturation journey creates something that could not exist without both traditions. A super interesting whisky with real personality.
