Sierra Norte is a Mexican whiskey made from native Oaxacan heirloom corn, bottled at 90 proof.
Master mezcalero Douglas French captures the flavor of heirloom Oaxacan corn; Whisky Advocate called the Yellow Corn Single Barrel the first single-barrel Mexican whisky sold in the US and scored it 90 points. The range spans white, yellow, red, purple and black corn.
Aging figures differ (10 months or two years in French oak) and the corn color of this bottle isn't stated, so we don't specify it.
