Corn Whiskies

The &Whisky folks have donned their snow boots and headed to the Great White North (that's Canada), and they've brought back some goodies: it's Maple Syrup & Toasted Oats & Orange Zest & Vanilla! What we have here is a tremendous Canadian corn whisky that's been finished exclusively in sherry casks.

Jim Murray describes this as oily with a sweet and spicy flavour. Mellow Corn is distilled at the Heaven Hill distillery.

Corn whiskey is not to be confused with bourbon. Yes, the signature grain in the latter is corn (at least 51%), but to be classified as a corn whiskey in America your mashbill needs to be at least 80% corn. This particular expression was distilled at Kentucky's Heaven Hill distillery, and bottled up

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.

American craft distiller Balcones created this smoky corn whisky, fittingly named the Brimstone, by smoking the whisky itself rather than the grain. It is innovative techniques such as this which are creating a buzz around American whisk(e)y at the moment.

From Spirit of Hven comes a wonderfully creamy corn whisky, MerCurious! Its mash bill consists of 88% Swedish corn, 5% wheat, 3.5% barley and 3.5% rye, and matured in American virgin oak. The folks at Spirit of Hven take quite a bit of inspiration from astronomy, and this expression is inspired by t

This right here is the first batch of Corn Whisky #1 from That Boutique-y Whisky Company! If that sounds like quite a vague name, that'll be because it is. Not much we can reveal about it (as you can see, the Fun Police on the label are making sure of that), but we can say that it's a 5 year old exp

The first release in The Oxford Artisan Distillery's Grain Stories series is all about corn! At its heart, this expression features 51% corn, including a mixture of multicoloured flint corn and sweet corn, which the distillery's head of grain and sustainability John Letts knows plenty about, having

This here Bowsaw American Whiskey, a wonderfully creamy straight corn whiskey produced in Kentucky. The name is a nod to whiskey traditions, named after the cooper's saw used to cut the heads of whiskey barrels. This buttery whiskey is a winner when paired with ginger ale and a lime slice.

Straight corn whiskey from the phenomenal Heaven Hill distillery, matured for 9 years before falling into the hands of That Boutique-y Whisky Company! This one features a label similar to that of the Boutique-y bottling of Heaven Hill bourbon, with a particularly a-maize-ing addition (I am so sorry)

What happens when you take young, boisterous, and rich Canadian Corn Whisky and pop it into oloroso sherry casks for an intense cask finish?

California corn whiskey! Bowen's Whiskey is named after its founder Wade Bowen, and is made with a base of 100% corn. A surprisingly smoky expression - the camp-fire on its label is certainly rather apt indeed.

A ceramic jug of McCormick's Platte Valley 5 Year Old Straight Corn Whiskey, which we believe was produced in the 1970s. Very rare and collectible, these are.
