Mellow Corn Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey
Description
Produced since 1945, Mellow Corn is made in accordance with a unique set of regulations that define Straight Corn Whiskey. It is distilled from a mash of at least 80 percent corn and aged for four years in once-used Bourbon barrels. Compared to the deep amber color created by the newly charred oak barrels in the production of other Bourbons and American Whiskeys, the result of the used barrel is a lighter, straw-colored spirit. Heaven Hill Distillery is one of the few remaining producers of this unique whiskey.
Do something in open source and let us know you did it.
