Tried a bottle of Hudson Baby Bourbon over the weekend. 100% corn and aged in 3L barrells as opposed to the standard 53L barrells. Thus, through greater surface area contact with the charred barrell it only requires 3 months of aging, hence, baby bourbon. While tasty, I found it quite sweet, but with a nice citrus note, some pepperiness and strong vanilla flavours. Quite expensive but worth a try if for no other reason than to try something new.
I enjoy the Baby Bourbon a great deal, and it's one of the few bourbons I can blind taste without knowing what it is. Try the four grain bourbon, which is a little milder and more balanced. Also, I noticed ama's recommendation on the single malt and agree on the slight hints of pine.. very unusual..
