Mellow Corn Bottled in Bond Whiskey

Before it became vogue to buy the bottom shelf and suffer through its indignity in the name of being cool, this was relegated to sad corners of the world where people clamored for that ol country mountain dew. It hasn't changed much for the better. Despite it's 4 year age, you'd be hard pressed to find any maturity here which is a tribute to the deficiencies in production. This simply isn't a well crafted spirit -- a real shame because being rough as a prison yard shiv shouldn't be a goal after 4 years. Initially, edgy sweetness, slightly rusty razor blade texture going down, with some kettle corn yum buried in the brutal throat punch it packs. It could, it should, be better. It starts with inputs and this is lacking. Sells for between $18-$24, but should be priced around $12-15 for what you're getting.

It doesn't get any better for under $20!

Cut grass, a little brown sugar.

Not as sweet as I thought it would be. No real flavor. Wouldn’t buy it again but it was fun to try.

Vanilla corn on the palette. Some heat on the throat. Add some water and the sweetness pushes forward. I’ve only had it neat but looking forward to using it as a mixer. It’s a solid whiskey for $11 and BiB. Good deal!

Anyone expecting this cheap bottle to satisfy their complex, fruit-forward burbon cravings is delusional. Buuuuut.... Anyone looking for a summer corn/fresh cut hay country vibe... look no further!! Don't try to force this unsuspecting corn whiskey out of its niche, and lean into it's cornbread-forward flavor. Drinking neat... Ok... But mixing with a little peach... or confusing your friends with a jalepeno old-fashioned... This little bottle can work some strange magic upon your heart.

Strong hints of corn and wheat upfront with no burn to the tongue. Heats up at the throat. Pound to price it's an amazing whiskey at 100 proof. 100 proof is ny wheelhouse for a mixer and this just made me save alot of money per year, goodbye knob creek hello mellow corn

Pours a very light brass/apple juice color w fast legs. Nose is alcohol and a dusting of corn husks. Tasted neat it's quite delicate, not overly sweet. Bit of alcohol burn. It's not a glencairn sipper, but we knew that from the outset. Still, it's surprisingly refined for such an inexpensive dram. Mixed 2:1 w Canada Dry ginger ale it makes a light, refreshing highball. I have also experimented using this in a bloody Mary variant, and in a bullshot variant. This is a versatile and tasty light whiskey that should be a bit more prominent in experimental cocktailing.

No bite, cheap label, no fruit
