Old 55 Sweet Corn Bourbon (80 Proof)
80 proof 3.5 years Bourbon Old 55 Distillery Newtown, IN 100% sweet corn
Nose

Corn-forward with ester-y, dry erase marker notes initially; transforms to bubblicious bubble gum after palate engagement; subtle powdered sugar character

Palate

Cracker Jacks, buttery oily popcorn in the middle; smooth and syrupy like Aunt Jemima syrup with a corn brandy character

Finish

Powdered sugar from a Bubblicious wrapper; sweet finish reminiscent of opening fresh bubble gum as a kid

Above average
A unique, dessert-like bourbon that tastes unlike anything else—delicious and memorable, though it drinks more like a corn brandy than traditional bourbon.
