Maz Nation Oaxacan Aejo Whiskey 700ml

Maz Nation Oaxacan Aejo Whiskey:

The Bold Frontier of Ancestral Grain

Maz Nation is a tribute to the \”People of the Corn.\” This exceptional Single Barrel Aejo Whiskey is crafted from heritage Oaxacan corn, grown in the rugged, high-altitude landscapes of Southern Mexico. It is a spirit that bridges the gap between ancient agricultural tradition and modern distillation mastery.

Aged for 18 months in a single charred oak barrel and bottled at a robust 48% Alc/Vol (96 Proof), this Aejo expression offers a depth and intensity that demands attention. By skipping the heavy dilution of mass-market spirits, Maz Nation preserves the raw, earthy soul of the Oaxacan terroir while embracing the sophisticated influence of the barrel.

The Small Batch Philosophy

Single Barrel Integrity: Every 700ml bottle comes from a single, unique cask, ensuring that the nuances of that specific barrels char and aging environment are captured perfectly.

Extended Aging: At 18 months, this whiskey has moved beyond the \”young\” grain profile, developing the rich, caramelized notes typically found in premium bourbons, yet retaining its distinct Mexican corn identity.

Higher Proof: Bottled at 48%, the increased alcohol content carries the essential oils and complex flavors across the palate with more authority and a longer-lasting impact.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep burnished copper with slow-moving, oily legs.
• Nose: A powerful opening of toasted sweetcorn and dark maple syrup. As it opens up, youll find notes of charred cinnamon sticks, roasted pecans, and a hint of sun-dried tobacco leaf.
• Palate: Full-bodied and intense. The high proof delivers an immediate warmth, followed by layers of salted caramel, dark cocoa, and leather. The signature Oaxacan corn sweetness is there, but it is beautifully tempered by the dry, smoky tannins of the oak.
• Finish: Long, bold, and incredibly savory. It finishes with a lingering trail of ancho chili spice, vanilla bean, and a faint, pleasant hint of woodsmoke.
