What is nixtamalization?

A traditional Mesoamerican process where corn is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, unlocking deeper flavors. Abasolo is the first whisky to use this technique.

How does Abasolo compare to bourbon?

Abasolo is a Mexican corn whisky, not a bourbon. Uses nixtamalization and heritage Cacahuazintle corn, producing roasted corn, honey, leather, and black tea rather than bourbon's caramel and vanilla.
