Ironroot Hubris Corn Whiskey

New bottling

Nose: brown sugar, vanilla, blueberry/blackberry cobbler, fig newton Palate: blueberry pie Finish: sweet corn, blueberry

Whoa. Smooth like any corn whiskey, but with flavor and bite from being aged in a barrel. Not spicy. It's got somewhat of a weird aftertaste, and the nose in the taste is a bit off. But still, worth the drink.

This king among corn boasts a darker orange copper color with thicker semi-viscous legs clinging to the glass. The nose is rich and dark. There are notes of dusty hay, apple, brown sugar, vanilla, mixed berries, cotton candy, and oak. The palate is dry and full as well, with notes of pear, grape Jolly Rancher, cinnamon sugar, creamed corn, and baked sweet potato. The finish is spicy with a taste of peach, and not lasting too long. Okay, this corn whiskey blew my mind! I didn’t think a whiskey in that category would be this full of flavor and complexity! I highly recommend, and I will definitely be looking for this again! Ironroot Republic, Thank you so much! Cheers!

I like it. I had this at the distillery, and it was a pleasant change of pace. This whiskey has that sweeter, corn flavor with a hint of vanilla, but there’s much more complexity in this than say Mellow Corn. The variety of corns used in this adds layers of spice on the palette that I really liked. Personally, I like starting with a dram of Mellow Corn as a “warmup” whiskey and then pour a couple ounces of Hubris afterwards. Helps me appreciate the nuance of flavors in this even more. One of the best corn whiskeys!
