Anybody ever try this? 100% corn

quote:

Bourbon conjures up images of Kentucky, but Hudson Baby Bourbon Whiskey is the first legal bourbon whiskey to be distilled in New York since Prohibition. To be called Bourbon, a spirit must be made from at least 51 per cent corn, but this single grain spirit is made from 100 per cent New York corn, then aged in American Oak. Thick but not syrupy, the 92-proof Bourbon offers aromas of banana. This hand-made Tuthilltown Spirits product goes down clean, sweet and smooth with a slight bite. Its aftertaste is almost peaty, making this a good choice for Scotch fans.

Got this as a gift and there isn't much online about it. I had never heard of it either. Haven't cracked it open. Might be a holiday try.


Bourbon: Wathen’s Single Barrel Bourbon
Distillery: Charles Medley Distillery, Owensboro, Kentucky
Age: 8 years, label reads Barrel Number 789 and Hand Bottled on 12/9/08
Proof: 47% ABV; 94% proof
Notes: For 250 years and eight generations, the Medley family has been making Bourbon. Charles W. Medley and his son Sam Wathen Medley carry that tradition on today.
Color: Golden Caramel
Nose: Mild tobacco, brown sugar.
Taste: Refined, delicate and deep at the same time. Approachable floral notes complimented by a leathery, mild oak and vanilla. A light mouthfeel with a richness all its own. A smooth and buttery texture that will keep you reaching for another pour after you thought you were finished.
Finish: Light with touches of banana bread and cinnamon.

The Hudson Baby Bourbon is not great. I think they tried to cash in on the Bourbon craze and market themselves out of Manhattan as being something special. It is definitely not old enough for the price that they get.
