Mellow Corn Bottled in Bond Whiskey

Corn — Kentucky, USA

Reviewed September 27, 2021 (edited February 6, 2026)
3.0
3.0 out of 5 stars
When I ordered a small pour of this to sample I did so with both curiosity and trepidation. I had read the reviews and they did peek my interest and I won't lie, the vivid yellow label stayed on my mind. That is why when I saw it sitting off the shelf, down on the work area of the bar I was at, I went for it. Oh, and this was not a local watering hole, but rather a higher end Italian place. That made me even more interested as this very place had rare and rather pricey whiskies. So here we go into the notes... Nose: Creamy, corn (go figure) more of a sweet corn than a cream corn even though it also did smell creamy. Did that make sense? Just as others have said there is an aroma of peanut butter and yes indeed it did smell somewhat of a carnival. Surprisingly, there was a very low alcohol burn to the nose. Barely a burn at all. Flavor: Like the nose very low alcohol burn. Sweet, creamy, corn, cake, slight nutty flavor in background. Cake, candy and sweet all the way around. While the flavor did not linger for long there was a slight taste for a minute or so. The lack of acidity or burn along with the sweet may not be everyone's dram of whisky but personally I cold see this as a daily sipper or better yet, something to serve at a larger gathering on a budget. Not sure how it would do in a mixed cocktail due to the heavy sweetness but I am curious to find out, although usually I prefer my whiskies neat. For the sake of knowing if this is one to keep on hand for those who do enjoy cocktails I must do further research and grab a bottle of my own. While it looks a little corny, no pun intended, with its bright yellow label I still want it in my collection. It is not layered in flavors or complex but it is in its own way unique. I am glad to have sampled it. I would most likely not buy this for the 50.00 prince point but at under 20.00, oh yes I will! Ratings have nothing to do with cost - just my impressions.
