Because corn whiskey can be aged in used rather than new charred barrels, Mellow Corn picks up less oak than a bourbon and keeps a pale straw colour and a strong grain character. The bottled-in-bond label means it comes from one distilling season and was aged at least four years in a government-bonded warehouse.
Bartenders use it as a characterful mixer in an Old Fashioned, a whiskey sour or a highball with ginger ale. Neat with a little water, it suits barbecue, cornbread and grilled corn.
- Straight corn whiskey from Heaven Hill, Kentucky

Expect sweet corn, buttered popcorn and light vanilla on the nose. The palate is oily and grainy with a little honey and spice, finishing warm and short.
A good choice for home bartenders and whiskey drinkers curious about the classic American corn style.
