46% ABV, 750 ml
"Earlier this year, the well-respect Mezcal-brand, Pierde Almas, debuted a white corn whiskey in the United States. Pierde Almas (which translates as “Lost Souls”) is interesting for many reasons, chief among which is the company’s social and cultural responsibility. The brand gives extensively through philanthropy, supporting local sports, education programs, and health clinics.
Even the whiskey itself screams of authenticity (and not of the “trying-too-hard” variety). American artist, Jonathan Barbieri, is the owner of Pierde Almas. He encased the beautiful bottle in craft paper made from native Oaxaca fibers. The corn itself is ancestral grain sourced from around Oaxaca, an integral part of local diet and culture.
....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." Natalie Padilla for the Whiskey Wash
