There’s something of an oaty flavor to this whiskey, which takes its name from a special varietal of corn grown specifically for this project. The cereal notes abound on the palate, complemented by an overt honey influence, as well as cinnamon spice, caramel, and chocolate—all flecked with bits of menthol cough drop and a hint of damp earth. Overall a sweet, herbaceous, and honey-laden bourbon with a unique flavor profile.
