Abasolo is Mexico's pioneering ancestral corn whisky, launched in 2020 by serial entrepreneur Iván Saldaña through Casa Lumbre, the creative spirits company also behind Ojo de Tigre Mezcal. Rooted in a mission to preserve Mexico's disappearing native corn varieties, Abasolo was born from a deep respect for the country's agricultural and cultural heritage. The brand is produced at Destilería y Bodega Abasolo, the first purpose-built whisky distillery in Mexico and one of the highest in the world, situated at an elevation of 7,800 feet. Abasolo is made from 100% Cacahuazintle, an indigenous corn variety sourced from the town of Jilotepec, using historical techniques that amplify the grain's natural flavour profile. This commitment to ancestral ingredients and traditional methods sets Abasolo apart from conventional whisky producers worldwide. The brand has quickly established itself as the undisputed market leader in Mexican whisky and is distributed internationally, including in Australia. Recognised by VinePair as one of the most important world whiskies of the 21st century, Abasolo has earned significant acclaim for its role in shaping a new category of grain whisky rooted in indigenous tradition. Pernod Ricard has partnered with Casa Lumbre, further underscoring the global ambitions and credibility of this groundbreaking Mexican spirit.
