Mellow Corn is a distinctive American whiskey produced by Heaven Hill Distillery. Classified as a straight corn whiskey, it is made with a mash bill of at least 80% corn, the remainder being a combination of malted barley and rye. It's aged in used oak barrels and has a light, golden colour and a bold flavour profile characterized by sweet corn, vanilla, and oak, with a touch of spice. Bottled at 50% ABV, it offers a strong, flavorful experience that stands out among other whiskies.
Have fancied trying this after seeing it in a Y/T review a while back. I enjoy trying all types of whisk(e)y, so never having come across a corn whiskey, I opted for this. Upon tasting the 'neck' pour I wasn't sure, but once the air got to it, I found it to be exactly as described - oily, buttery, sweet and spicy. It just got better with every sip, and just like the W/T 101 at 50%, it is so easy to drink and I've no doubt the bottle will last that long! Oh, who cares if the bottle has a screw top, it's too good not to have!
I thought I would try this as I've never tasted Corn Whiskey before. It has a lot of flavour and a bit of a bite. Not really my thing though. It's different I'll give it that.
I wasn't sure what to think as my tastes ran more towards smoky flavors. But this bottle's grown on me - it's subtle but I keep coming back again and again. A good product for a good price. For me it certainly delivers on price, smoothness, and kick.
You can buy this where you are? Then buy it! Good lord get a case if it's going for the $30 cad I paid for it before it vanished from Alberta 2 years ago. Honestly great whisky for the price, excellent distillate just in used barrels, considering it's a heaven hill product I'm sure the barrels are likely used once for bourbon, and used freshly again for this corn whiskey. Sad I can't ship this from your website back home, Canada's liquor law is shite
Absolutely amazing, if you like your American whiskey sweet and smoooooth with a kick in the pants, this is it. Great value with tons of character, buy it now! No, seriously, buy some, line the pockets of the dudes at Heaven Hill, 'cos they Know what they are doing, these are the people behind Elijah Craig, and in case you don't know, that whiskey is more than awesome too!
