Sierra Norte White Corn Mexican Whiskey (75cl, 45%)

Sierra Norte White Corn Mexican Whiskey is a single-barrel whiskey from Oaxaca, bottled at 45% in a 75cl bottle. It is made at San Agustin de las Juntas by Scorpion Mezcal under founder and master distiller Douglas French. The mash is 85% native white corn and 15% malted barley, fermented in open vats with natural yeast and distilled twice, first in stainless pot stills and then in copper. It spent a minimum of two years in French oak barrels. The nose offers sweet corn and vanilla with floral notes and light oak. On the palate it is soft and rounded, with corn sweetness, honey, French-oak spice and a hint of tropical fruit, followed by a smooth, warm finish with lingering vanilla.
