Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Sweet corn and caramel lead, followed by hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. A subtle oakiness lingers in the background, along with a touch of vanilla.

Finish: Long and warming. The cinnamon spice builds, complemented by lingering notes of toasted corn and caramel. A subtle nuttiness emerges, reminiscent of pecans. The finish tapers off with a pleasant, dry oakiness.

Jimmy Red Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted using 100% Jimmy Red corn, a rare heirloom variety that was nearly lost to history. The corn is mashed, fermented, and distilled before being aged for at least two years in new, charred American oak barrels, resulting in a bourbon with unique flavor characteristics derived from this singular grain source.

Jimmy Red corn, the sole ingredient in this bourbon, was down to just two ears when it was rediscovered in the early 2000s. Its resurrection from near-extinction is a modern-day agricultural miracle.

The corn's deep red color comes from anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries, giving this bourbon potential health benefits not typically associated with whiskey.

Jimmy Red corn has such a high oil content that it can be used to make popcorn, allowing whiskey enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite bourbon's base ingredient as a snack while sipping.
