corn whiskeys
American grain liquors
Corn whiskeys is the plural of corn whiskey, an American whiskey distilled primarily from corn—at least 80 percent by law.
Bourbon is the most famous variety, though not all corn whiskey qualifies as bourbon.
The grain gives it a sweeter, fuller flavor than rye or wheat whiskeys: He collected rare corn whiskeys from small Kentucky distilleries.
