A little bitter like coffee but with a lot of sweetness to it. A little nutty as well. Vanilla.

This is ... not that good. I mean, it's the only 100% corn bourbon that is made. But it's actually 'too corny'. You can really taste the corn, and it burns. None of the vanilla/oaky goodness comes across.

Should this not be classified as a "Single Grain"/"Corn Whisky" then?
Derick Rethans
Feb 27th, 2017 @ 10:38
Nope, it's technically a bourbon still (>51% corn, and aged in a charred barrel). Corn whiskey by definition is not aged at all, or is only aged in a non-charred barrel, leaving the color clear (or slightly yellow). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_whiskey

Wonderful grassy notes hidden behind the deep smoke. Wonderful whisky, though I miss the heavier peat of it's less expensive cousin.

Tasted with drop of water. Very sweet on the nose, strawberries and cream perhaps. Light wood prevalent in the flavour, and still a little sharp. Short finish, but leaves a subtle bit of sweetness.
