Few American whiskeys carry the cult following and charm of Mellow Corn Bottled-in-Bond. Produced by Heaven Hill Distillery, it is one of the last remaining examples of traditional Straight Corn Whiskey, a style defined by strict regulations and a distinctive flavour profile.
Distilled from a mash containing at least 80% corn and aged for four years in once-used bourbon barrels, Mellow Corn offers a lighter colour and softer oak influence compared to traditional bourbons. The result is a whiskey that is rich, approachable, and unmistakably different — showcasing sweetness, texture, and gentle spice in equal measure.
Bottled under the historic Bottled-in-Bond Act, this expression guarantees authenticity, consistency, and quality, making it both a fascinating piece of American whiskey heritage and an enjoyable everyday dram.
