• Each mash is separately distilled twice in an alembic copper pot still
• Distillates are blended before entering barrel
• Aged for a minimum 3 years in refill bourbon barrels
• Aromas of esquites in crema, fresh corn husk, and orange flower water introduce a palate of ripe corn kernels saut©ed in butter with accents of corn silk and a hint of violets and bitter greens on the finish. Exceptional.

This elegant distillate captures the full flush of ripe ancestral blue corn grown on the Tehuac°n-Cuicatl°n Biosphere Reserve, highlighting the complexity and verve inherent to crops grown with respect to seasonality and biodiversity.
