Why we chose it

“Corn whiskey is a niche, and it is a niche well worth visiting. Sweet, buttery and bottled at 50%, it makes an outstanding sour and punches far above its weight.”

About this wine

Mellow Corn is a classic American straight corn whiskey produced by Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky — one of the USA's great whiskey houses. As a corn whiskey, it must be made from a mash of at least 80% corn, and Mellow Corn uses an even higher proportion, giving the spirit its characteristic sweetness and approachable character. Bottled at 50% ABV with genuine age statement credentials, it represents remarkable value for a straight American whiskey.

Pale amber in the glass with a warm, inviting nose of sweet corn, vanilla, caramel and subtle toasted oak. The palate is full-bodied and sweet-natured — rich corn character, butterscotch and a warm spiced finish. Excellent sipped neat, on the rocks, or used as the backbone of classic American cocktails like a Corn Whiskey Sour.

About the producer

The largest independent, family-owned distillery in the United States, Heaven Hill has been producing Kentucky bourbon since 1935 in Bardstown, the Bourbon Capital of the World. Their vast portfolio spans everyday expressions to ultra-premium bottlings including Pikesville Rye, Elijah Craig, and Evan Williams, with some of America's most prized barrel selections.
