A deeper corn note than Whiíte, the Oaxacan black corn retains a firmnugget of sweetness, aromas of banana skins and dusty earth. To sip, it’s creamy, cool and refreshing, with light mandarin flavors, gingerbread, corn fritters, vanilla, and peppery heat from the French oak cask. The finish has gentle warmth with root ginger and kernels of roasted corn. Distinctive and highly promising.
