{"product_id":"prieto-high-proof-mexican-purple-corn-whisky-100-proof","title":"Prieto High Proof Mexican Purple Corn Whisky 100 Proof","description":"Prieto High Proof is a distinctive Mexican whisky distilled from 100% purple corn and bottled at cask strength 100 proof, delivering an intense amber spirit with coppery red highlights. This three-year-aged expression represents the bold innovation of Mexican whisky-making, combining traditional copper pot distillation with unique native corn varietals.\n\nBorn from the fertile lands of Mexico, Prieto represents a new frontier in world whisky, embracing indigenous ingredients and time-honored distillation methods. The distillery's commitment to using 100% purple corn creates a whisky unlike any other, while French oak aging followed by a six-month finish in Mexican fortified wine barrels adds layers of complexity that honor both European and Mexican traditions.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe plums, sweet marzipan, vanilla bean, wildflower honey, fresh spearmint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried plum, Mediterranean figs, dark chocolate cocoa, subtle spice from purple corn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to long finish with creamy flan custard, salted caramel, lingering wine barrel influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMexican Purple Corn Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.0% (100 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMexico\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Purple Corn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrench Oak, Mexican Fortified Wine Barrels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCopper Pot Still\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStrength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCask Strength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdventurous Collectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e A rare opportunity to explore Mexican whisky innovation with unique purple corn heritage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full cask strength allows for personal dilution preferences while showcasing the spirit's complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e An exceptional conversation starter that bridges traditional whisky appreciation with New World innovation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCulinary Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complements chocolate desserts, aged cheeses, and Mexican cuisine beautifully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Prieto High Proof taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrieto High Proof delivers a unique flavor profile dominated by dried stone fruits, particularly plums and figs, with rich dessert notes of flan and salted caramel. The 100% purple corn mash bill creates an entirely different character from traditional grain whiskies, offering cocoa undertones and a creamy mouthfeel that's enhanced by the wine barrel finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink Prieto High Proof whisky?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 100 proof, Prieto High Proof is excellent neat for experienced whisky drinkers, but adding a few drops of water opens up the fruit and dessert notes beautifully. The cask strength allows you to customize the drinking experience to your preference, whether you prefer full intensity or a more approachable dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes purple corn whisky different from regular whisky?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurple corn creates a fundamentally different whisky character compared to traditional grains like corn, wheat, or barley. The purple corn imparts natural fruit-forward notes, a slightly denser mouthfeel, and unique color compounds that contribute to the whisky's distinctive amber-copper appearance, resulting in a spirit that bridges the gap between whisky and rum characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Prieto High Proof good for cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Prieto High Proof can be used in cocktails, its unique purple corn character and cask strength make it better suited for neat sipping or simple preparations like an Old Fashioned. The complex fruit and dessert notes might be overshadowed in mixed drinks, and the 100 proof strength requires careful measurement in cocktail applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is similar to Prieto High Proof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrieto High Proof occupies a unique space in the spirits world, but whisky lovers who enjoy fruit-forward, dessert-like profiles might appreciate aged rums, particularly those finished in wine barrels. For whisky comparisons, look to other innovative grain whiskies or American craft distilleries experimenting with alternative grains, though the purple corn character remains distinctly Mexican.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prieto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48835737780464,"sku":"PHPMPCW100P","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/6958\/5335\/files\/front_1842c61c-e6d0-4af4-8a19-28b88b6bb206.jpg?v=1771349179","url":"https:\/\/huntsmanheritage.com\/products\/prieto-high-proof-mexican-purple-corn-whisky-100-proof","provider":"Huntsman Heritage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
