700mL bottle – 45.1% alc/vol
A re-make of our beloved Raymond B. Whiskey — The corn whiskey that christened our entry into the whiskey world, and a product that has long since sold out.
Corn whiskeys are a little less common in the whiskey world and require a mash of at least 80% corn to be allowed to wear the title. The Hoochery’s Corn Whiskey is 100% corn whiskey mash, making it especially unique, and the first of its kind in Australia. It’s also entirely paddock to bottle, made using Ord Valley corn grown right here on our family farm, behind the distillery.
We use an old-style corn mash and traditional fermentation methods, then pot distil the mash to create our new make spirit. From there we put it down to rest in heavily charred oak barrels for a minimum of two years. Then filter the spirit through locally grown and made mahogany charcoal.
The result is a taste rich with creamy corn notes, a touch of cinnamon spices, and a sweet honey finish. Reminiscent of quality American bourbon, but expressive of Northern Australia and the East Kimberley region.
The second product in our Limited Release series, we only have 962 bottles of this whiskey available.
Once they’re gone, then they’re gone forever.

I’m generally preferring Scotch, however skipping the pond sometimes for a good Bourbon.
There are quite a few brands with a noticeable palate, but not too many.
Most, I feel, are just Whisk(e)y. I’ve sampled many over the years.
Your PURE CORN Whiskey would need to rated as very exceptional. The nose, the pallet, the long lingering sensation, tick all the boxes. OUTSTANDING!

I bought this bottle when it was released after having bought a bottle of the corn and sorghum whiskey when I was last in Ku. (That one lasted a couple of days, between my brother and I). I don’t normally write reviews, but this particular dram is worth talking about. It has a lovely sweet corn flavour from the beginning (Yep, it tastes like sweet corn!) and a velvety smooth sweet finish without that “Bourbon” aftertaste that you’d normally get from those American spirits. I love it, just about to order myself another one for Christmas. Well done Hoochery people, well done.

Absolute perfection of whiskey.
Best I’ve tasted. Just have to ration it, because it’s that good.
