We have known Master Distiller French for
many years since he created Scorpion Mezcal. Not someone to sit
back, he is a forward thinker, and with agave slowly depleting he was inspired
to use native Oaxacan ancient heritage corn to create a series of
Mexican Whiskeys. Sierra Norte Single Barrel Mexican Whiskey made with
Native Oaxacan Black Corn is one of a series of exceptional Sierra
Norte Single Barrel Mexican Whiskeys (Black, Yellow, White, and Purple), each designed to maximize their own unique flavors. Cheers!
Information: Sierra Norte Single Barrel Mexican Whiskey
made with Native Oaxacan Black Corn is made from 85% Oaxacan Heritage (non-GMO)
Corn and 15% Malted Barley that is double distilled. Made in a single barrel in
a copper pot still, the whiskey is aged for approximately 10 months in French
Oak. 45% Alcohol by Volume (90 proof). Each bottle lists the barrel number and
each bottle as a bottle number. Our bottle was Barrel No. 7, and Bottle No.
71-285-Batch 05. The back of each bottle proudly bears the signature of Master
Distiller Doug French. With a price tag of around $57 bottle, Sierra Norte
Single Barrel Mexican Whiskey made with Native Oaxacan Black Corn is a luxury
whiskey that fully delivers the flavor goods.
Tasting
Notes: The nose is at once aromatic with a slight sweetness. On the
palate, there is a delectable sweetness with raisin notes along with a rich
spiciness of cinnamon and cardamom, and a delightfully long smooth finish. This
is an ultra-premium sipping whiskey that also plays well in a variety of
cocktail as well as culinary recipes.

juice, lime juice, and grenadine. To create a heady foamy head (the "lava") we
used Fee Foam. Garnished with an orange cherry "bowtie" this cocktail makes retro
deliciously new again.

Half & Half (or light cream), Sierra Norte Single Barrel Mexican
Whiskey Black, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, Himalayan pink salt, and Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged Bitters. The

Method: Add corn, heavy cream, Half & Half, and
sweetened condensed milk to a blender and blend until very smooth. Add to a
saucepan. Heat over medium.
Meanwhile, add the eggs, egg yolks,
salt, whiskey, and bitters to the blender and blend until smooth. When the
cream mixture is heated through but not boiling, slowly add 1 ladle of the hot
liquid to the eggs and blend. Repeat twice. This is to temper the eggs so that
they do not curdle. Pour the egg mixture into the rest of the hot milk. Cook
together for 1 minute to combines.
Pour into ramekins, set into the
roasting pan, and pour boiling water half-way up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes until center are set.
Use tongs to carefully remove from the
water. Set on a cooling rack. Once cool. Place in the refrigerator for several
hours (or overnight).
Crème Brûlée Presentation: Just before serving, spoon 1 tablespoon sugar on each, and use
kitchen torch to "burn" the sugar (brûlée). This
will produce a hard sugar "shell" on the custard.
Important Note: The custard must
be very cold, or the kitchen torch will melt the custard. If you do not have a kitchen
torch, place the chilled custards under the broiler. Watch carefully so they do
not burn.

About
Sierra Norte Single Barrel Mexican Whiskey
"The Sierra Norte Mountains of Oaxaca
Mexico, with their profuse flora, abundant wildlife, and crystal clear, flowing
waters, support some of the world's most treasured biodiversity. More than any
crop, corn embodies the life-giving relationship between these ancient
mountains and their inhabitants. Descendants of the region's first farmers
continue replanting the best seeds from each harvest, as they and their
ancestors have done for over 7,000 years.
Sierra Norte distilling started with
Master Distiller Douglas French's passion to use different varieties of this
ancient, flavorful Oaxacan corn to make a series of unique, outstanding
whiskies. Each variety is distilled separately and matured in French Oak casks,
to showcase its individual character and nuance."
