Review #76; American Whiskey #3: Mellow Corn Bottled in Bond

Mell

Background: This is an aged corn whiskey from Heaven Hill. This corn whiskey has been aged for at least 4 years in used bourbon barrels before being bottled. This was given to me blind then I was revealed the bottle, so keep that in mind when reading my notes.

ABV: 50%

Nose: Very Sweet, Maltiness, Corn, vanilla, tons of sweet corn.

Palate: Medium mothfeel, oily texture. Coating mouthfeel. Corn, Vanilla cream, marshmellow candy, dry sweetness that lingers.

Finish: Short, oak, corn, and vanilla.

This is pretty easy to drink, not complex but sweet and easy. Would love to throw in a glass as a nice background whiskey and sip or in a mixer.

Rating: 5/10

Guess: Mellow. Corn. Bottled. IN. Bond.
