Description:
While every bourbon is a whiskey not all whiskeys can be bourbon. In order to become a bourbon, the
whiskey must satisfy five conditions. First, the whiskey has to be made in America. Second, the whiskey
has to be distilled from a mash that is at least 55% corn. Third, the whiskey has to be aged in a new
American Oak barrel. Fourth, the barrel has to charred on the inside, and fifth, the whiskey has to be aged
a minimum of three years.
Don Quixote Blue Corn Bourbon is made from 75% New Mexico organic blue corn, 23% wheat and 2%
barley. Unlike most distillers, we use only whole grains naturally malted and never cooked. This requires a
slow gentle mashing process that must be carefully monitored but the result is an unmistakably smooth
and balanced spirit like no others. The blue corn provides many advantages to a distiller that other corns
cannot match....the least of which is that the New Mexico blue corn is magical. If you don't believe me,
consult ancient lore...because the ancients never told tales.
