80 proof
3.5 years
Bourbon
Old 55 Distillery
100% sweet corn
Nose
Very corn-forward with ester-y magic marker/dry erase marker character on first nosing; becomes bubblegum (Bubblicious) and powdered sugar on the palate.
Palate
Cracker Jacks, buttery oily popcorn in the middle; sweet and smooth like Aunt Jemima syrup or burnt syrup; lighter in color than traditional bourbons.
Finish
Powdered sugar from opening a Bubblicious wrapper as a kid; sweet and syrupy throughout.
Overall Score
4.1 / 5
A unique, smooth, dessert-like bourbon with distinctive sweet corn character and bubblegum notes that drinks more like brandy than traditional bourbon.
