Nose
Roasted corn, masa, a warm tortilla-like sweetness. Beneath it, vanilla, caramel and a dusty earthiness that recalls sun-baked clay. Unique and immediately recognisable — this smells like nothing else in the whisky world.
Palate
Sweet roasted corn dominates — creamy, almost buttery, with a gentle spice and hints of milk chocolate. The nixtamalization process gives the spirit a distinctive masa character that carries through the entire palate. A touch of oak and vanilla from the barrel, but the corn is unquestionably the star.
Finish
Medium, warm, with roasted corn sweetness lingering alongside a gentle oakiness and a last note of toasted grain.
Expert Review
7.8/10Mexico's first whisky — ancestral cacahuazintle corn nixtamalized before distillation, creating something genuinely new.
