Corn Whiskey
Posted: Fri Feb 11, 2005 5:06 pm
Linn's post about a distillery makes me think about other products that could be produced at a distillery. Has anyone here an opinion on corn whiskey? I like the bonded Mellow Corn made by Heaven Hill. I would like to see an older version of and bonded Mellow Corn - say an 8 or 10 year old version. I have had some real old corn whiskey at United Distillers as we looked at barrels of old product for possible "Rare Whiskeys" for a collection, and I liked what we tasted. If rye can make a comeback, why not corn?
This product would have the advantage in costing less - corn is the cheapest grain they use for bourbon and they can re-use cooperage.
Any opinions?
