After a long day of thigh burning laps and the exhilaration from a full day of skiing, there's nothing more rewarding than unwinding by the fire with a glass of Still Austin's Blue Corn Bourbon. The winter crow on the bottle seems to echo the triumph of the day, and as I take in the first sip, I'm transported into a world of flavors that perfectly complement the snowy landscapes outside.

As the fire crackles beside me, the deep, oaky essence of this bourbon resonates with the silhouetted snowy peaks in the distance. The hints of butterscotch and cinnamon create a comforting warmth, that I need on this cold night, mirroring the coziness of the fireplace. It's not just a drink; it's a celebration of the day's freedom in the to explore the crisp mountain air.

The mash bill, with its unique blend of blue corn, white corn, rye, and malted barley, seems like a well-kept secret from the mountains themselves. The nose is an aromatic journey, reminiscent of the sweet victory achieved on the slopes—notes of cream soda and malted milk intertwining with the subtle spiced plum and the familiar scent of country apple cider.

With the first sip, the velvety texture caresses my senses, much like the smooth glide down a freshly powdered run. Dark-chocolate candied citrus, the sweetness of carrot cake, and the richness of buttercream frosting unfold on my palate, creating a symphony of flavors that resonate with the après-ski atmosphere.

The finish is the perfect conclusion to this sensory adventure, bringing chewy notes of dark sherry and crème brûlée. The lingering eucalyptus, oak spice, and black tea encapsulate the essence of relaxation and contentment, much like sinking into a comfortable chair after a day on the slopes.

The only catch, this bottle is sold out. So, you'll have to nibble it off a ski-buddies shelf, or find yourself a different winter time treat from Still Austin.
