The first South American whisk(e)y to hit our shores, from Peru, is made with Andean Black Corn, bottled at 45%.
Producer Description
"At Don Michael, we have the privilege of presenting a whiskey unlike any other. Made from Andean Black Corn and the purest mountain spring water, our whiskey is aged to perfection in American white oak barrels. This is Black Whiskey. The first, and the best Andean Whiskey in the world.
"Black whiskey and the idea to use Andean Black Corn comes from the ancient Andean technique of making a homemade beer called chicha jora. We at Don Michael have refined this process, added malted grains to smooth out the flavor, and implemented a state-of-the-art distillation facility to provide the world with a unique Andean Whiskey in the form of Black Whiskey."

Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Toasted corn, with hints of vanilla and a smokey note finish. As the whiskey breathes there are subtle hints of dehydrated fruits such as raisins and dried apricots.
Palate: On initial contact with the palate Black Whiskey is intense, balanced with toasted vanilla, prominent oak notes and hints of dried fruits. Next are the bold flavors of cinnamon, cardamom and coffee, with a unique finish of carmel corn creating a complex and distinct whiskey with plenty of personality.
