ethangsmith Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Anyone else an obsessive lover of Mellow Corn? Mine started with a small sample and then I was able to secure 3 bottles. They're going quick so I need to find more soon! I'm going to go ahead and say it's the best $9-per-bottle American Whiskey you can buy. If only PA carried it in the state stores! So am I the only one out there or are there other Mellow Corn lovers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Did you get the BIB version?I have had it several times, it ain't bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethangsmith Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 I didn't even realize there is another proof offering. All the stuff I've ever seen is the BIB. I have a bottle of Hirsch corn whiskey too but it's not nearly as rich as the Mellow Corn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Dog Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I like it, but love is a strong word. I've heard from good sources that Hirsch Straight Corn is 9month HH juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmckenzie Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It has become my daily pour. It is good stuff. One difference is, the stuff that was bottled a couple of years back is richer. When the label changed to say it was made at Early Times it lightened up. But is still good stuff. Plenty in New york state Ethan. What does your label say?

Enoch Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I thought Mellow Corn was a fairly new product but the store I visited last weekend had old dusty handles of Mellow Corn for about $15. I didn't get any because I figured it was the same stuff and I have several bottles already. I may pick up one when I go back in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know how long it has been made?

cowdery Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I first became aware of it about 20 years ago. It was a Medley product, from Owensboro. So far as I know, it's been around forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does your label say?I'm going to NY this weekend (Binghamton-Sidney area) so I hope to find a case or 2 of it so I've got a few months supply. I'm trying to get PA to carry it at least as a special order item. We have ZERO true corn whiskies for sale here in PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emr454 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If you are going to binghampton, just drive a little north to Ithaca and northside wine and spirits has it. The store in Watkins Glen keeps it for me if they do not have it. Pa will have 1 true corn whiskey in about 2 weeks on special order. Our Glen Thunder. Every bit as good as HH's corn.

emr454 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Aha! I was chatting up the owner of the local liquor store and after a bit of friendly conversation, I inquired about Mellow Corn BiB. He thumbed through his books and bingo! It'll be here in a bout a week for $12.99Finally, being a repeat customer has paid off!Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave ziegler Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hey Ethan when I gave you the sample I knew you would love it. I drink it up real quick but can only get it when someone I know goes down south so I am counting on you to get me some!!Dave Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.H.Adams Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Count me as another who really likes Mellow Corn. I picked up a bottle on one of my out of state trips for grins as I have never had it. Well the joke was on me as I loved it.I will be going to Arkansas in September so I will stock up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to comparing the two!Since ours is white, it is more like georgia moon. But a little aging would prove it to be like mc. Talking about mc, it is so hot, I just came in and fixed a BIG glass long with lots of ice and water. Talk about beating the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethangsmith Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Dave,No dice on the Mellow Corn. I was told by every liquor store I went into that the distributor for that area dropped it. However, I was able to get you a 375ML bottle of Philadelphia Blended Whisky. It's the new stuff, from Heaven Hill. I bought a bottle for myself and it isn't bad. I figured you'd want one just to sip now and then. It was $6.As a side note, I dropped in at the Delaware Phoenix Distillery in Walton, NY and met Cheryl. She's just getting started on whiskey and I bought a signed bottle of her "Rye Dog" 100pf unaged rye whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigthom Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm surprised she can call it "whiskey" without any aging at all. Maybe they've made up an "unaged whiskey" category on the fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
