Whiskey 🥃 Grilling Time! Review
Ironroot Hubris Straight Corn 🌽 Whiskey
Aged 29 months
ABV% 58.9
Mash:
100% Corn
Distiller Ironroot Republic (Deniston, Texas)
This whiskey is making this distillery famous - a straight, complex 100% corn whiskey with loads of flavour. It has won best corn whisky awards in addition to others - not the typical unaged or barely aged corn spirit called "corn whiskey" (there are no regulations around aging corn whiskey in the USA).
Nose:
Grape, bubblegum, spices, cinnamon, oak, fresh pizza dough, celery, and an oily richness.
Front:
Right off the bat there is a sweet, full of candy-fruity notes (pear, candy grape) and finishing with oak and porridge.
Back/Finish:
Balanced with the complex fruit character. It’s a delicate balance – the youth is no were to be found the deep oak wonderfully shows the interesting distillate. The finish has some heat oak. The complexity blooms when water is added, but it is nice, big, and rich at cask strength. Right now this is the best American corn whisk(e)y I’ve ever had to date. Damn good!
Yippee Ki Ya beautiful people!
