FAQs

What is Cacahuazintle corn?
An ancestral non-GMO Mexican corn variety prized for its large, soft kernels and rich flavor — central to traditional Mexican cuisine and the foundation of Abasolo's distinctive whisky character.

What is nixtamalization?
An ancient Mesoamerican process of treating corn with an alkaline solution — the same technique used to make tortillas and tamales — which unlocks nutrients and adds a distinctive depth of flavor unique to Abasolo.

How does it compare to American corn whiskey?
Where American bourbon is corn-forward but oak-driven, Abasolo lets the ancestral corn speak — delivering elote, chestnut, and butterscotch notes that are entirely its own and unlike any other whisky on the market.
