Released each summer, Red Corn Bourbon is a member of Still Austin's regularly released Bottled In Bond lineup. This is the third year it's been released, now six years old. As always, it's distilled from a mashbill of 36% Jimmy Red corn, 34% white corn, 25% rye and 5% malted barley and bottled at 100 proof, as required by Bottled In Bond regulations.

Sweet, rich and inviting on the nose: buttercream, crème brûlée, stewed cherries and plums, cinnamon, sassafras.
Moderate mouthfeel. Pleasantly oaky with graham cracker, butterscotch, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cherry, blackberry, fig and sassafras again.
Still rich and sweet on a long, full finish. Gingerbread, more butterscotch and cherry, browned butter and chocolate shavings. The finish concludes with oak and tannin.
A delicious and rich bourbon, Still Austin's Red Corn Bottled In Bond Bourbon was delicious in year 1 and evolved into a true rockstar in year 2. Year 3 brings about probably the best iteration yet. It's rich, dessert-forward and perfectly oaky. Six years in the Texas heat, after all, is very different from six years in a cooler, wetter climate. This is one of the best, most underrated annual bourbon releases, and I look forward to it each year.
