The Whisky Single Barrel 85% Maiz Amarillo 70cl - Sierra Norte is a distillate that tells the essence of the Mexican countryside, enhancing the unique character of the local yellow corn. Produced with a careful selection of Maiz Amarillo, a symbolic variety of the region, this whisky stands out for the intensity and purity of its aromas. The aging in single barrels enhances the warm and enveloping notes, giving a harmonious balance between natural sweetness and toasted hints.

On the nose, there are scents of ripe cereals, honey, and oak wood, accompanied by slight spicy tones and a hint of dried fruit. On the palate, it reveals a full body, with a soft and persistent texture that recalls the earth and sun of its place of origin. Ideal to be enjoyed slowly, it pairs magnificently with smoked meats or aged cheeses, enhancing the complexity of every gastronomic pairing.
