Nixta Licor de Elote is a Mexican corn liqueur made from a base of tender, ancestral cacahuazintle (kaka • wha • SINT • lay) maize, grown in the high valleys and foothills of the Nevado de Toluca volcano. Nixta is produced at the Destilería y Bodega Abasolo, where we honor the Mexican culture of corn and the ancestral craft of nixtamalization—a 4,000 year old Mesoamerican cooking technique that uncovers the deepest flavors and aromas of maize.

TASTING NOTES
NOSE: A vibrant bouquet of fresh citrus with delicate floral notes. Juniper, distinctly present, blends with subtle spicy touches and a slight hint of cardamom.
PALATE: The attack is smooth and complex, marked by a slight sweetness balanced by lemon and juniper flavors. Spices, including Saigon cinnamon, bring fine depth with a crisp, zesty kick in the background.
FINISH: Medium in length, the finish is marked by crisp, clean citrus touches, supported by a balanced dryness and light earthy notes, leaving a lingering spicy impression.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: A bold symphony of Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine, with hints of juniper and warming spice.
PALATE: Lush florals give way to tropical soft citrus Dalandan and Calamansi, grounded by earthy Alpinia and ginger. Mouthfeel is sensuous.
FINISH: Lingering finish. Continuously developing with a touch of spice and a surge of Angelica.
