Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Great Jones Private Barrel Collection #2 Red Corn is a New York straight bourbon built around a distinctive mash bill that showcases 25% NY blue corn, 50% NY corn and 25% malt and rye, giving the whiskey a richer, slightly nuttier foundation than standard yellow or red-corn bourbons. Bottled from an individual barrel rather than a large blended batch, it offers a more singular snapshot of the distillate, with layered notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spice, and a subtle dark-fruit edge. The blue corn influence adds texture and depth on the palate, where sweetness is balanced by pepper, char, and a dry, structured finish. For drinkers who value grain character as much as barrel influence, this release stands out for its sense of place, focused craftsmanship, and more nuanced take on modern American bourbon.
