Mellow Corn Bottled In Bond Corn Whiskey
World Whiskies Awards - Best American Whiskey, Non-Bourbon
As world-renowned whiskey writer Jim Murray wrote, “If you are a true student of whiskey, your education is a long way from being complete until you have mastered this particularly charming form.”

Mellow Corn is one of those rare gems that has stood the test of time, proudly carrying the tradition of true American corn whiskey. Distilled and bottled by Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky, it’s a Bottled-in-Bond expression, meaning it’s at least four years old, crafted at one distillery in a single season, and bottled at 50% ABV. This makes it one of the most authentic, no-nonsense whiskies available today.
Unlike bourbon, which requires at least 51% corn, Mellow Corn is made from a mash bill that is at least 80% corn. The result is a whiskey that’s softer, sweeter, and more approachable, while still delivering the bold kick you’d expect from a bottled-in-bond release.
On the nose, you’ll find toasted corn, light vanilla, and hints of honey. The palate brings buttery toffee, fresh popcorn, oak spice, and a lingering sweetness that balances beautifully with its higher proof. The finish is warming yet smooth, with a rustic charm that makes it perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or even in a simple highball.
Affordable, unique, and steeped in history, Mellow Corn is a must-try for anyone who enjoys exploring America’s whiskey heritage.
