  Item no.: 059763-615-752

  The world's first corn whisky meets the world's first corn liqueur in a Mexican gift set.

  Expert description

  Bodega Abasolo Gift Set includes Bodega Abasolo El Whisky de México, the world's first and only corn whisky distilled from 100% Mexican heirloom corn, along with Nixta Licor de Elote, the world's first corn liqueur. Both products are made by Destilería y Bodega Abasolo in Jilotepec, Mexico, the first distillery dedicated entirely to Mexican whisky, completed in 2019. The whisky uses Cacahuazintle corn, which undergoes nixtamalization — a 4,000-year-old Mesoamerican technique in which corn is cooked with lime to release flavour and nutrients. The Nixta liqueur is made by macerating a blend of roasted and raw corn in unaged Abasolo spirit, combined with a 'base madre' of nixtamalized corn, water and piloncillo cane sugar.

  Did you know?

  Nixtamalization is a 4,000-year-old Mesoamerican technique in which corn is cooked with limewater to make its nutrients more available — the same method historically used to make tortillas is repurposed here to create whisky and liqueur.
