Mellow Corn: The Other Face of American Whiskey

Produced in Kentucky , Mellow Corn is a corn whiskey , a category in its own right within American whiskey. Unlike Bourbon, it is made from at least 80% corn (compared to a minimum of 51% for Bourbon), which gives it a sweet roundness and a melting texture. Aged in recycled (used) oak barrels, Mellow Corn has a lighter, drier, but surprisingly expressive profile. Its golden color hides a straightforward, simple but flavorful whiskey that evokes the raw character of rural America. A true outsider compared to the great Bourbons, Mellow Corn appeals to connoisseurs curious to explore another side of American distilling. An excellent quality/price ratio to discover corn in all its expression.
