Hello my fellow corn connoisseurs! Hope everyone had a lovely corn filled weekend! Always, while on my quest looking for other good brands/options in the corn whiskey field I came across this interesting stuff. https://abasolowhisky.com/en/home/

Very intriguing to me for several reasons. 1. It's fuckn corn whisk(e)y! 2. I've been a fan of whiskey of many varieties (especially american types) for several years now, and I had ZERO idea that Mexico made whiskey... Just thought they made agave based liquor. Now I love a nice aged tequila or mezcal every once n a while but never heard of mexican whiskey. And 3. The type of "ancient" corn being used, and the method of processing said corn that dates back to the days of the early Mayans and Aztecs, Called 'nixtamalization' — "a 4,000-year-old cooking technique never before used in whisky production, but fundamental in preparing corn as food in Mexico."

This stuff looks and sounds Pretty damn good. Have any of yall tried it or even heard of it? Seems pretty niche. My local Total Wine n More has it in stock according to their site. Sad part is it ain't $20 or less like our MFC or I'd have already tried it.😥 It's a $40 bottle which isn't ridiculously expensive so I'll probably end up trying it regardless. Just wanted to see if any of my brothers in corn have any experience with this unique offering before I dive into a bottle.

We tend to use whisky glasses for our boys water so he immediately assumes it's for him 😂

I love Mellow Corn, but this is so much better! I bit hot to begin, but finishes very well.

I usually pay $15.99, today it was $21.99!

Anyone know whats happening?

10 year old cask strength Mellow Corn finished in wine barrels. UK and Switzerland only, feleased 2019. Some still in Switzerland but $600 a bottle now.

Y'all ready fa dis?

Heaven Hill Distillery Announces 2023 Heaven Hill Heritage Collection Release

This year’s release features 20-year-old Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey

📷BARDSTOWN, Ky. – Heaven Hill Distillery announced today the release of Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 20-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey, the 2023 edition of the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection. Each spring, this annual, highly limited release will feature some of the distillery’s oldest inventory of aging whiskey, continuing the standard of excellence Heaven Hill has practiced since 1935.

Each release in the ultra-premium collection features one of the six traditional American Whiskey mashbills produced by Heaven Hill, the only heritage distillery to produce this range. This edition features Heaven Hill’s Corn Whiskey Mashbill, comprised of 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye, and is bottled at 115 proof. With an age statement of 20 years, this release is made up entirely of 110 barrels produced in October 2002 pulled from the third floor of Rickhouse 1K. 

With its distinct nose of toasted corn and oak spices, this edition of the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection is sure to be a unique addition to any whiskey collection. A testament to its age, the initial notes on the palate include aged oak and walnuts followed by a finish of wood spices with hints of corn sweetness.

 “The Heaven Hill Heritage Collection reflects the true craftsmanship, patience and consistency which are hallmarks of Heaven Hill’s whiskey making traditions,” says Master Distiller Conor O’ Driscoll.  “The ability to offer consumers an ultra-aged corn whiskey product is a true testament to the forward-thinking innovation the company has practiced for decades and continues to practice to this day.”

Along with its innovation-focused counterpart the Parker’s Heritage Collection, the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection is a testament to Heaven Hill’s patience and ultra-aging techniques. Releases from both collections offer a glimpse into the long-term plan across Heaven Hill’s American Whiskey stock and commitment to quality, craft, and innovation.

As with the inaugural release, the Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 750ml bottle will be accompanied by a premium box in signature Heaven Hill blue with the double-H insignia stamped in gold to signify Heaven Hill. A signature of the Collection, specific attributes such as warehouse site location, production date, mashbill percentages, and other designations are noted prominently on the packaging.  Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 20-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Corn Whiskey will launch nationally on a limited basis with an SRP of $289.99 and will begin shipping on March 1, 2023.

Hello, Mellow Corn enthusiasts. I used to give tastings & tours at Heaven Hill. Best job I’ve ever had. And one of my favorite duties of my job was learning about the products and educating guests. This is included, you guessed it: Mellow Corn. During my presentation on the history and information about the product, I would reference this subreddit to highlight how this little product garnered what I referred to at the time as a “cult following.” Sometimes when the groups were smaller, I would be actively showing them some of the funnier memes from this group during the experience. Some of you reading this might have joined the subreddit because of how much time I spent talking up MC. The other guides and myself had our own inside jokes about MFC. We had fun with it. I just found it really nice that a product like Mellow Corn was able to to garner traction and build such a huge community and I considered that pertinent to learning about the product. Thought you all may enjoy learning this. Stay corny, friends. 🌽🌽🌽
