Great Jones Private Barrel Collection #1 Red Corn

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Silky on the palate with a warm, grain-forward sweetness, Great Jones Private Barrel Collection #1 Red Corn drinks like a rich American whiskey with notes of caramel, spice, and toasted oak that linger nicely after each sip. Made in the United States, it reflects a single barrel approach that gives it a more individual character. The 25% NY red corn, 50% NY corn and 25% malt and rye suggests a softer, slightly sweeter profile than some standard expressions. At 43% alcohol, it has enough strength to feel full and flavorful without overwhelming the glass, making it an easy choice for a relaxed evening pour, especially alongside barbecue ribs or a wedge of aged cheddar when you want something hearty and satisfying.
