These mash bills form the base for the brand's upcoming bourbon and rye whiskeys. One is made with 73% white corn, 10% rye, 17% malted barley. Another is made with 73% white corn, 10% wheat, and 17% malted barley. And finally, one is made with 17% yellow corn, 63% rye, and 20% malted barley. The limited edition vodka is bottled at 80 proof and available at the distillery and at select Kentucky and Tennessee retailers.

This is the 73% corn, 10% rye bottling. Nose: candy corn. Palate: Candy corn. Holy crap. This is distilled candy corn. I am an avid bourbon, rye, and scotch drinker. This reminds me a lot of white dog (unaged) whiskey, which, I guess it kind of is? Not sure what most vodka drinkers make of it but I find this interesting enough.
Very nice spice thanks to the high rye content that you don’t get in a lot of other gins. I don’t consider myself a gin connoisseur but this may be my favorite gin so far.
A “bourbon drinker’s vodka” is a great way of describing this pour.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
