Corn Whiskey Balcones

Corn whiskey is the purest expression of America’s corn distilling tradition. Made from at least 80% corn, it delivers a distinctly sweet, buttery, and gently grainy profile. Unlike bourbon whiskey, it is often aged in used or uncharred barrels, preserving its lighter colour and fresh, smooth flavour.

Character and flavour

Corn whiskey is known for its light, silky texture and naturally sweet taste. Expect notes of corn, butter, honey, and soft vanilla. It’s less woody than bourbon and contains fewer tannins, making it ideal for those seeking a softer, less spicy whiskey experience.

Who it’s for

Corn whiskey is perfect for lovers of American spirits who want to experience the original whiskey style that predates modern bourbon. It also pairs beautifully with rye whiskey, offering a smooth contrast to rye’s dry, spicy character.
