Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Crystal clear, not very strong legs, may be confused for water.
Nose:
Springtime in a glass. Big notes of floral and honeysuckle. Tropical fruit comes through as kiwi, pineapple and lime.
Palate:
Big mouthfeel with low sugar. It has a bite to it, like tart green apple, no real pepper notes. Papery like wet grain. Conclusion: This is an all-around stand out whiskey, white or otherwise. The nose is a beautiful bouquet and the palate is bold, unique, and continues to be interesting enough to try on its own. I prefer Pierde Almas with some fresh grapefruit juice, but all things considered, I highly recommend you try it. FINAL SCORE: 85/100 Correction: This article has been edited to reflect the correct product name, Pierde Almas Ancestral Corn Whiskey from Oaxaca. The product name previously read Pierde Almas Ancestral Blended Straight Corn Whiskey.
