I've always avoided corn-based whiskey and preferred rye. Generally, I avoid any US corn products where possible.
Mexico takes their staple crop seriously. They've banned the Bayer/Monsanto engine corn. When making tortillas, I use Mexican masa harina. Strangely, most Mexicans here (US) use the Azteca brand, which is about as Mexican as Moses.
I'd definitely go for some heirloom corn Mexican whiskey.

- eth0up 3y agoA wee bit anachronistic, considering the dates mentioned. But yeah, Ladinos are real.
- alephnerd 3y agoPlenty of more recent Jewish Mexicans too after WW2 and the final years of the Ottoman and Russian Empire. Louis CK is a notable member of the community, as is Leon Trotsky technically. They are one of the larger communities in CDMX.

- throwawaaarrgh 3y agoIt's not strange. The last thing a poor Mexican in a foreign country thinks about is whether their ingredients are authentic enough. You buy what's readily available.
