• Brand: Rob Ruben Distilling
• Type: Bourbon
• Country: USA
• Style: Blue Corn Bourbon

While most whiskey is produced with yellow dent corn, the distillery’s decision to produce a blue corn bourbon makes for an intriguing departure. Conventional thinking dictates that the grain used for mashing and fermentation has little effect on the flavor, but Rob Rubens Blue Corn Bourbon proves to be an exception to this notion. The blue corn provides a sweeter and nuttier flavor than regular yellow dent corn (think of the difference between blue corn tortilla chips versus regular restaurant style chips.)
