The Whisky Single Barrel 85% Maiz Blanco NB of Sierra Norte represents a handcrafted excellence in the world of spirits, the result of a careful selection of white corn grown in the highlands of the Sierra Norte. This whisky highlights the richness and purity of the cereal grain, distilled with traditional methods that respect the territorial identity. Aging in selected barrels gives the product an intense and complex character, with hints of vanilla, sweet spices, and light roasted notes, typical of the wood aging, which blend harmoniously with the rich natural sweetness of the corn.



On the palate, it stands out for its smoothness and structure, with floral touches and a enveloping finish that invites a slow, meditative tasting. Perfect to enjoy neat or with a few drops of water, this Single Barrel is also ideal paired with spicy dishes and aged cheeses, enhancing the sensory experience with its authentic and territorial personality.
