Introduction

Launched on 28 January 2020 this is our ‘Bourbon Equivalent’ which we call Old Dog Corn Liquor – we produce a corn, wheat and barley mash which, following fermentation isdistilled by us in Hilda, our 1000 litre pot/column hybrid still and then matured in new American oak casks.

The name ‘Old Dog’ comes from a local coal mine shaft in the Morda valley. The ‘Corn Liquor’ part of the name describes the contents of the bottle!

It is available in 70cl bottles and is bottled at 41.5%.

Old Dog Corn Liquor Tasting Notes

We received the following feedback following the Silver Medal win at the London Spirits Competition:

“Notes of corn, tropical fruits, pear, caramel, honey, pepper and oak. It has a slightly creamy texture on the palate with hints of vanilla and smoke and has a sweet-spicy finish.”

The pleasingly deep amber liquid has honey and soft fruity notes on the nose. There is an amazingly creamy mouthfeel, with caramel, spice, and hints of vanilla and smoke. The lingering smooth finish leaves notes of toffee and vanilla. This is a light, easy drinking spirit with a surprising complexity.

The following tasting notes were sent to us by one of our customers (thank you Carl!!):

“Nose: Sweet, honey, pear drops buttery

Taste: Honey, peppery got nice heat to it, pear drops, slightly creamy in the mouth

Finish: White pepper, oaky, waxy good medium finish“
