Experience Modern Whisky 5,000 Years In The Making
We’re thrilled to feature Gran Maizal whisky as part of our top-shelf lineup at Mr. Tequila! Crafted with ancient corn from the heart of Mexico, this unique spirit offers delicate notes of toasted corn, cured vanilla bean, and pure cacao.
For more than 5,000 years, the Maya and other civilizations have continuously cultivated maize, which has had a central and sacred role in Mesoamerican mythology and gastronomy. To date, people say “Sin maíz, no hay país,” which means “Without corn, there is no country.”
GRAN MAIZAL is corn whisky made with ancient varieties from the Yucatan Peninsula, including the oldest recognized lineage in the scientific community: Nal T’eel.
As the whisky finishes, a dash of cured vanilla pods from Papantla and cacao nibs of the Almendra Blanca variety are added. When combined, the subtle bitterness of cacao harmonizes with the rich sweetness of corn and the floral notes of vanilla pods, creating a symphony to delight the nose and palate.
These delicacies are sourced directly from small farmers who provide the highest quality and all-natural ingredients available.
The aim is to be a catalyst so that more varieties of maize seed are available, advancing farming methods for sustainability and providing farmers with better options. The journey is towards creating a shared GRAN MAIZAL — an exuberant and abundant field of prosperity.
