The drink has been in the small batch bottles of 70 cl and only 4000 of these bottles were brought into the market. The hand-bottled unique spirits also show the certificate on the decanter containers.

Toffee, fruit and spicy smells burst in your mouth while you have the first sips of one of the top fresh whiskies of 2020.
Mexican Abasolo – a Pride from the South
Abasolo that is made of an alkalized corn is a famous spirit around the territory of Mexico and beyond. The corn is that of non-GMO, which has an original name of cacahuazintle. Vegetable smell is an undeniable part of an original Abasolo, while there is also aroma of honey, black tea and spice.
