Produzido por: United States

See more Whiskey de milho

Corn whisky was the forerunner to bourbon and this American straight corn whiskey is the last still in production at a major distillery. As such it must have at least 81% corn grain in the mashbill (the balance being malted barley and rye) and must be aged in uncharred, new or used white oak barrels

Straight Corn Whiskey must also have no flavoring, colouring or blending additives.

Mellow Corn is not only a 'straight' corn whisky but it has the extra designation of being bottled-in-bond, hence must be aged a minimum of four years.
