Mellow Corn Whiskey
Today’s Mistake: Mellow Corn Whiskey. Nothing mellow about it.
Mellow Corn Whiskey
50% alcohol by volume (100 proof)
750 ml bottle
Price: $8.99
Nothing like a 100-proof eye-opener. You know you’ve got a winner when it’s bottled in bond, under strict government supervision. Not sure what that means, but it sounds scary and reminds me of prohibition. It’s probably made under supervision because it’s strong enough to use as a Molotov cocktail. And I’m going to ingest it. Willingly. Now, for those of you that don’t know, corn whiskey is whiskey that’s mash contains at least 80% corn. It’s sort of like moonshine, but a bit weaker. Most corn whiskeys are actually clear; this is the second one I’ve seen that has any color. Not that I’ve seen that many corn whiskeys. Have you even seen a sadder bottle of booze in your life ? Everything about it is sad. I just want to give it a hug or put it out of its misery and shoot it.
Believe it or not, had this straight.
Color
Golden yellow.
Nose
Unbelievably harsh. Imagine the worst whiskey you’ve ever smelled, then remove the “whiskey” part and that’s what’s left.
Taste
I threw up.
Final Verdict
Just thinking about trying this again is making me nauseous. Easily the shittiest piece of shit I’ve ever had to choke down. Not as bad as Night Train, but damn close. .5 out of a possible 5. Here’s a moonshine recipe. This guy’s laugh is legendary.
