Ironroot Hubris Corn Whiskey

Country: USA

Region: Texas

Type: Corn Whiskey

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 58.9%

Score: 89 Points

This corn whiskey won a Double Gold Medal in the 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and the nose is aromatic with grilled corn on the cob, mesquite smoke, oak, and vanilla notes. The taste is spicy with black pepper and clove, but well-balanced with nice notes of black cherries, hot fudge, vanilla, and oak. The finish is medium-length with a good spiciness balanced by dark chocolate, oak, and a hint of mesquite smoke. (July, 2016)
