  • White
    Distilled from a cereal mash bill comprised of any grain(s). Generally unaged except in the US, where it must age at least briefly in oak for an unspecified amount of time. Sometimes sold as "moonshine" although that is a misnomer.
  • Cask Type
    new, charred American oak

Tasting Notes

"For a large volume white whiskey, the stuff is alright. It's smoother and creamier than most, with vanilla and floral notes. The year of wood contact gives it an unusual charcoal smokiness. It finishes slightly astringent, but without as much burn as many other white whiskeys in this category. The bad news is it does taste like "just another white dog put in a bottle," but the good news is it could be a lot worse."
