Mellow corn is very light gold in color. The nose is corn syrup and alcohol. Of course corn is the flavor that dominates the whiskey. There's sweetness, but it has an almost medicinal quality to it. I get a little cinnamon and a bit of buttered popcorn, but there's not a lot going on here complexity wise. The finish seems a bit astringent to me, although at 100 proof its fairly easy drinking. This is not one I would sip often, but it might make an interesting cocktail mixer.
