Reformulated for approachability, Ambar is a blended Oaxacan whiskey produced from equal parts unmalted heirloom blue corn and unmalted barley whiskeys. The combination yields a nutty and herbal expression with accents of high-toned red fruit and a bit of baking spice, that offers a gateway into the unique flavors and aromas of Milpa’s ancestral Mexican corn whiskeys.
