Abasolo is to launch in the UK next month – making it the country’s first Mexican whisky, according to specialist premium spirits importer & distributor Mangrove.
Made from the Mexican corn known as cacahuazintle, the 43% abv tipple (rsp: £34.99/70cl) is double-distilled in copper stills and finished in oak casks. It promises tastes of roasted corn, toffee with hints of caramel, and toast.
It is the product of Jilotepec de Abasolo-based drinks supplier Casa Lumbre, which runs a purpose-built whisky distillery. The facility claims to be one of the highest in the world at 7,800 ft above sea level.
