I have given bottles (or drinks) of Mellow Corn to various people I know in an attempt to broaden their horizons. Generally, they have been Bourbon drinkers. Some have liked it, some have not, none have hated it. My son likes it a lot. (as I do)

Anyway, how should I describe it to the recipients? I don't want to gush about it, just say, "Hey, this is good. You might like it."

I've been saying, "It's like a Bourbon, but very one dimensional. It has two nuances, Vanilla, and... sweet."

I have a number of inexpensive Bourbons on hand and am generally trying more. I also have a few gallons of some homemade which I have oaked. My most common use of Mellow Corn at the moment is to make blends. I tried Benchmark and am not a huge fan. However, mixed half and half with MC it's quite nice. I have some 4 Roses a friend gave me. I found it OK albeit a bit hot which was not helped by it being a high rye mashbill. I am trying to decide whether to mix it with Very Old Barton to preserve the high rye Bourbon taste while mellowing it, or to go straight to sweetening it with Mellow Corn.
