Still Austin Bottled In Bond Red Corn Bourbon

Summer in Texas absolutely demands an uncompromising pour. Still Austin completely obliterated their standard playbook to craft this magnificent Bottled in Bond Red Corn Bourbon. Master Blender Nancy Fraley meticulously orchestrated a bizarre yet brilliant mashbill featuring thirty-six percent Jimmy Red corn. You are tasting an absolute masterpiece. The heavy Texas heat forcefully extracts incredibly dense, resinous sugars from the deeply charred white oak barrels over six grueling summers of maturation.

This isn't your polite, everyday Kentucky sipper. The unique Jimmy Red corn varietal aggressively injects a distinctly savory, robust nuttiness that beautifully tames the twenty-five percent rye spice backbone. Bottling at exactly one hundred proof dictates a sophisticated, velvet-heavy mouthfeel without inflicting a blinding, abrasive ethanol burn on your palate. We genuinely adore this unapologetic, viscous profile. It drinks like absolute velvet.

Seasonal vintage releases permanently vanish once the heavily allocated supply runs completely dry. Collectors fiercely hunt these seasonal bottles. Finding a robust, unfiltered Texas bourbon balancing bright strawberry soda sweetness with deeply resinous antique leather feels like uncovering a priceless liquid artifact. Missing out on this unrepeatable masterclass in blending feels like an absolutely devastating oversight for any serious whiskey collection.

Nose: A vibrant plume hits instantly. Roasted hazelnuts and sweet strawberry soda deeply intertwine with fragrant vanilla icing, fresh orange zest, and a subtle whisper of seasoned Texas oak.

Palate: The mouthfeel feels incredibly lush. Cascading waves of red velvet cake and peanut brittle aggressively wrestle with sharp peppermint and baking spice, building an undeniably gripping tension.

Finish: It lingers beautifully on your tongue. The syrupy sweetness yields to an exquisitely dry cascade of sweet tobacco leaf, freshly ground coffee, and a deeply satisfying peppery warmth.

Pair this intensely robust bourbon with bold, savory culinary contrasts. Serve it alongside smoked beef brisket. The heavily rendered animal fat flawlessly tames the hundred-proof ethanol burn, beautifully allowing the spirit's complex underlying pastry notes to vividly shine. A warm slice of dense raspberry tart works absolute wonders for an unforgettable dessert experience.
