Climax Moonshine Original Recipe

Climax Moonshine has a smooth sweet corn taste and goes down easy.

I had to buy this a year or two ago because of being a fan of the TV show. I haven't tried it lately but if memory serves me correctly it is drinkable at most. Not what I would call a good sipping whiskey. I even tried it in a mix with Pepsi and I wasted a good can of pop. Not sure what else a person can mix in corn liquor to make it palatable. Another drain cleaner as I don't know what other purpose there is for it.

Nice sweet flavor and balance. Not too harsh but still has a bite. Would recommend.

A surprisingly authentic taste of what a well-crafted moonshine *should* have tasted like. Nowadays, if you're buying "moonshine" from the ol country boys down at the lumber yard, Cletus and Cooter, you're probably getting some real low grade swill made mostly from sugar and little more than poorly distilled crap. A proper country style moonshine would have been part corn, part barley, and part sugar, which the sadly named "Climax" moonshine is. Few people today are prepared for a full corn whisky, a strongly flavored grain with a bit of an acquired taste when young. The balance of sugar, contributing to a basically flavorless neutrality, dilutes the edginess of the corn flavor, while a touch of malt brings in the bready familiarity. Just to drink on it's own, I find little utility in it. I just don't care much for unaged corn whisky. In a technical sense, it's well done though. The price puts this far out of line for what you're getting and the value is lacking here. You're paying for a lot of novelty. But if you wanted to know what a proper moonshine should taste like, look no further.
