Corn Whiskey Samples

This is the first Texan whisky, as well as being the first whisky to be distilled from blue corn! When we first tried this we thought it was wonderful, though very "different". These days it's become a firm favourite, along with the rest of the craft distillery's fantastic releases.

A 2014 introduction to the George Dickel range, their unaged corn spirit is based on a classic mash bill of theirs (84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley), charcoal filtered and bottled at 45.5% ABV with nary a thought to even showing it a cask.
