About This Whiskey

Mellow Corn is a corn whiskey, meaning that it’s made primarily from corn (at least 80% corn in its mash bill). This gives it a distinctive sweetness compared to bourbon or rye whiskey. It's produced by the Heaven Hill distillery, and its Bottled in Bond status guarantees a level of quality and consistency. Its bright golden color and smoothness make it a standout among other whiskies, often appealing to those who enjoy lighter, sweeter whiskeys.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: On the nose, Mellow Corn is sweet and inviting. There's an immediate cornbread and buttery aroma, paired with a hint of vanilla and caramelized sugar. The sweetness is prominent but not cloying, with a bit of apple or pear fruitiness in the background. There’s also a faint hint of oak, but it’s subtle—more of a soft, earthy quality that provides balance to the sweeter notes. Overall, it’s a light, clean nose with a touch of spice (think cinnamon or nutmeg) that rounds out the profile.

TASTE: The taste of Mellow Corn is smooth and sweet with a noticeable corn flavor that’s rich and creamy. You'll get a nice dose of vanilla and caramel, backed by a soft oak influence that adds some depth without overwhelming the palate. There’s a mild spice that adds a touch of warmth—mostly cinnamon and a hint of black pepper. The sweetness of the corn really shines through, but it’s well-balanced by a slight earthiness and a faint nutty quality. It’s a round and full-bodied whiskey for being primarily made from corn.

FINISH: The finish is clean, smooth, and relatively long for a corn whiskey. The caramel and vanilla linger, with a light oak note that adds a touch of dryness. There’s a bit of heat from the 100-proof strength, but it’s not overwhelming, just enough to give a little kick. The finish has a slight sweetness that fades gently with a touch of spice on the tail end, leaving the palate refreshed.
