Mellow Corn Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey – Bottled-in-Bond (750ml, 50% ABV)

Taste Notes: Mellow Corn Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey, as a Bottled-in-Bond expression, offers a surprisingly rich and sweet aroma dominated by fresh corn, sweet creamed corn, and a distinctive buttery quality. Hints of vanilla, caramel, and a gentle toasted grain note are often present. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied for a corn whiskey, delivering upfront flavors of sweet corn, creamy vanilla, and a pleasant caramel or toffee sweetness. It has a distinctive grainy, almost cornbread-like quality, often with a very subtle spice and a clean, light oak influence from its brief aging in charred barrels. The finish is medium-long, sweet, and smooth, with lingering sweet corn and vanilla.

Food Pairings: This sweet and distinctive corn whiskey is surprisingly versatile. It can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails where its unique flavor can shine. It pairs well with barbecue, especially grilled corn on the cob or smoked pork. It also complements comfort foods like mac and cheese, cornbread, or fried chicken. For dessert, consider it with peach cobbler or vanilla ice cream.
