What is Mexican Whisky?

Mexican whisky is crafted using traditional distillation methods, often with a unique twist that incorporates the local terroir and ingredients. Many Mexican whiskies are made from corn, with some distilleries using native Mexican corn varieties, which impart distinct earthy and nutty flavours to the whisky. These whiskies are aged in oak barrels, which may include new or used barrels, adding layers of complexity with vanilla, spice, and caramel notes.

What sets Mexican whisky apart is its innovation. Some distilleries experiment with alternative grains and barrels, while others age their whisky in the warm Mexican climate, accelerating the maturation process and creating rich, flavourful whiskies in a shorter period.

Characteristics of Mexican Whisky

• Appearance: Typically amber to deep gold, with a clear, bright hue that reflects its ageing in oak barrels.
• Aroma: Mexican whisky often features aromas of toasted corn, vanilla, caramel, and a hint of spice. Some whiskies may also offer earthy or herbal notes, depending on the grains used.
• Flavour: Mexican whisky tends to have a complex flavour profile, combining sweet notes like honey and vanilla with earthy, nutty undertones from the corn. Spice, oak, and citrus notes may also be present, providing a layered and satisfying taste.
• Mouthfeel: Generally smooth and rich, with a medium to full body. The warmth of the climate can result in whiskies with a bold, intense finish.

The History and Rise of Mexican Whisky

While Mexico is traditionally known for its tequila and mezcal, the country has a rich history of grain distillation that dates back to the early colonial period. Whisky production in Mexico, however, is a more recent development. Mexican distilleries began experimenting with whisky in the late 20th century, but it wasn't until the early 2000s that Mexican whisky started gaining international attention.

The unique climate of Mexico, combined with the use of native ingredients like heritage corn varieties, has allowed Mexican whisky to carve out a distinctive niche in the global whisky market. The country’s warm climate accelerates the ageing process, creating whiskies that are rich and flavourful in a shorter period compared to those aged in cooler climates.

Today, Mexican whisky is experiencing a renaissance, with artisanal distilleries focusing on quality, innovation, and local flavours. As more whisky lovers seek out new and exciting expressions, Mexican whisky is quickly becoming recognised for its bold, complex character and its potential to rival traditional whisky-producing countries.
