Description

The significance of corn in Mexican culture cannot be emphasized enough. Despite the well-deserved popularity and expanding variety within the agave spirits category, there has been a curiosity about exceptional corn-based spirits in Mexico. Answering this inquiry, Casa Lumbre presents a whisky crafted from ancestral non-GMO Cacahuazintle corn. This unique corn undergoes nixtamalization before being pot distilled and aged in ex-American Oak casks.

The essence and quality of the corn take center stage, showcasing surprising nuance that underscores the diversity and untapped potential of corn in distilled spirits.

A gentle touch of oak contributes a welcome, not overpowering, complement of spice flavors, contributing to a well-rounded profile.

Notes of toasted hay, roasted chestnuts, white pepper, elote, butterscotch, and almond extract enrich the sensory experience.
