The Whisky Single Barrel 85% Maiz Negro of Sierra Norte stands out for its unique expression, expertly distilled using black corn, a rare ingredient that imparts a rich and original character. Coming from a region where tradition blends with innovation, this whisky expresses all the complexity of black corn, enhanced by a careful and calibrated aging process to highlight the typical notes of the grain. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of toasted cereals, light hints of vanilla, and a spicy touch, which blend well in a harmonious profile. On the palate, it reveals a full and enveloping structure, balanced by natural sweetness and a long, persistent finish that leaves traces of caramel and spices. Perfect to enjoy neat or with a touch of water, it pairs splendidly with smoked meat dishes or aged cheeses, enhancing its gustatory depth.

A distilled spirit that tells the story of the land and the passion of Sierra Norte, offering an engaging and distinctive sensory experience.
