DESCRIPTION
• Heirloom corn whiskey produced in Cuicatlán, Oaxaca • Fifth-generation Maestro Destilador Alex Krassel • Made from 100% unmalted local heirloom blue corn • Open-air fermented in wooden tanks made from local pine • Distilled twice in an alembic copper pot still • Aged for a minimum 3 years in refill American oak barrels • Creamed corn, hazelnut, raw asparagus, and caramel on the nose transition to a spicy, earthy palate of charred corn, ginger, parsnip, turmeric, and dark chocolate with vanilla, burnt sugar, and arugula on the finish • No added coloring • Non-chill filtered; 45% ABV As corn is the star of Milpa whiskeys, founder Arnaud Fressonnet sought to showcase the diversity of flavors of Oaxacan heirloom blue corn by exploring the effects of different production processes. Distilled from unmalted corn, Ocre is crafted similarly to bourbon and offers familiar rich and buttery flavors of roasted corn, caramel, and vanilla baking spice along with unexpected earthy, vegetal notes.
