Whiskey: Delaware Phoenix Corn

Linss corn whiskey is aged in used charred barrels for somewhere between six months and two years. Each batch is a little different with respect to aging and mash bill; while every barrel is 80% New York-grown corn, the remainder is a variable mix of malted barley and malted rye. Its distilled in a copper pot still and bottled at 100 proof.

Distillery: Delaware Phoenix Distillery

Corn whiskey differs from bourbon in two respects. First, with bourbon, the mash is legally required to contain at least 51% corn, but generally doesnt exceed 80%. Corn whiskey, on the other hand, must be made with at least 80% corn. Second, while bourbon must be aged in new, charred oak barrels, corn whiskey can be unaged. If it is aged, this has to be done in either used barrels or new, uncharred oak barrels.

Delaware Phoenix Corn Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: A refreshing medley of sweet corn, grass, and cucumber is most noticeable. These bright, vegetal tones are anchored solidly by buttery oak.

Palate: Quite light on the palate, with a somewhat darker flavor profile than the nose. I tasted grass and cucumber, together with a heavier corn note not unlike popcorn.

Finish: Light but not too short. Flavor-wise, the finish is somewhat mineral, with a hoppy bitterness that fades pleasantly to sweet corn.
