White Cónico

White Cónico, also called Cónico Blanco or Cónico Cremoso, is a Mexican landrace from the confluence of the State of México and central highlands. Its lineage sits alongside other Cónico types, but it distinguishes itself with a smoother starch expression and lighter sensory edge. It’s an excellent choice when you want a corn presence that supports rather than competes.

Flavor & Fermentation Profile

• Kernel structure leans toward creamy/soft-starch, easing mash conversion and mitigating harshness.

• Offers a gentle, floral corn sweetness with subtle grain tones and minimal vegetal or grassy edge.

• Open-pollinated genetics lead to slight kernel variation in hardness and texture, which can feed nuance in your ferment.

• Solid gelatinization behavior under standard mash protocols, making it reliable in distilling or brewing operations.

Use Cases & Suggestions

• Use as a base or primary corn in whiskey mash bills when you want a softer, more delicate corn voice.

• Blend with firmer corns (flint, dent) to introduce structure or mouthfeel while retaining a mellow profile.

• Use in beer adjunct mashes to accent body and aroma in styles that require a gentle corn accent (pils, cream ales, experimental grain blends).
  Ideal for flagship or signature expressions where balance, purity, and heritage matter.

Flavor Expectations in Final Product
In your finished spirit or beer, expect a clean, soft corn aroma with hints of fresh grain and slight floral lift. On the palate, White Cónico adds a subtle mid-layer sweetness with a silky, approachable texture. With age, it folds into warm cereal and light vanilla or malt-grain notes, smoothing out as barrel, yeast, or malt elements take hold.
