Sierra Norte Native Oaxacan Yellow Corn

This whiskey in one word… funky. Not necessarily a bad thing though. Hay barn, ethyl alcohol, corn bread, a smidge of chocolate dipped banana, and a suggestion of agave nectar. Sweet to the taste, yet vegetal, with a dusky raw element, like dark unrefined corn syrup. Spice like ancho chilies that prickles the tongue like a cactus, but at the same time comfortably warms the palate, follows adding to the intrigue. A beaded skirt like the fringed dress of a Mexican Hat Dancer forms in the glass preceding legs that fall as quickly as the dancer’s steps in the performance’s crescendo. Syrupy on the tongue, with a rather full mouthfeel. The finish is apple skins and wild cherry sanded candy drops alongside Grape Nuts or All Bran cereals, plus a final hint of oak. Certainly interesting! Aroma: 6 Taste: 6 Body: 8 Finish: 7

Lots of butter popcorn as expected from an almost pure corn whiskey. Not a ton of finish. A momentary pleasure. Not a lot of detractors, but not a lot of memories, either. Prefer the balconies corn whiskeys to this one.

Roasted corn, butter and vanilla on the nose and smooth palate. Medium finish with a hint of buttered corn and a bit of peppery spice.

Reminds me of a good moonshine. Just lower abv and a bit more smooth. Corn forward as expected, sweet, and finishes clean.

Good for the price, sweet and sour, quickly hot, nice fruity finish, well done

Faint huitlacoche nose, all corn from there out. A solid corn whiskey.
