Corn whiskey is bourbon's elder, rawer cousin, and Heaven Hill, the Bardstown family distiller founded in 1935, keeps the style alive in brands such as Mellow Corn. The mash is overwhelmingly corn, and it may be aged in used or uncharred barrels, so the grain speaks louder than the oak: buttered corn, sweet cereal and a gentle warmth. Heaven Hill's.
