Argentine Orange Distilling Corn

Elevate your distilling projects with the exceptional character of Argentine orange corn. Cultivated in the fertile Pampas region of Argentina, this flint corn variety is celebrated by distillers for its striking color, high sugar content, and distinctive flavor profile.

Key Features for Distillation:

• Vibrant Orange Hue: The corn’s captivating deep orange kernels are a sign of its rich carotenoid content. These natural pigments can subtly influence the hue of the final distillate, adding visual interest and potential complexity to your spirits.

• Flint Corn Texture: As a flint corn, the kernels are denser and harder than typical dent corn. This characteristic, along with its high sugar content, contributes to unique flavor development during mashing, fermentation, and distillation.

• Complex Flavor: This corn imparts a robust and complex flavour profile to spirits. Anticipate warm, toasted cereal notes, hints of sweetness, and a pleasant earthy depth that sets your whiskey, bourbon, or other grain spirits apart.

• Authentic Argentine Heritage: Connect your spirits to a long tradition of high-quality corn production. This Argentine orange corn offers a unique terroir that adds an authentic story to your products.

Versatility in Spirit Creation:

While particularly well-suited for whiskey and bourbon production, Argentine orange corn can be utilized in various mash bills. Its distinct characteristics offer a compelling starting point for experimenting with different grain ratios and distilling techniques, potentially leading to truly original and flavor-forward spirits.

Ideal for:

• Bourbon: When mashing with a high percentage of Argentine orange corn (along with other required grains), expect a complex and flavor-rich bourbon with toasted grain and caramel notes.

• Whiskey: Incorporate Argentine orange corn into your whiskey mash bill for a unique flavor profile that stands out from typical commercial varieties.

• Corn Spirits: Craft artisanal corn spirits that showcase the specific flavour nuances of this beautiful heirloom variety.
