Death's Door

[Tariel]

It's only 33 bucks, we've all spent more on less.

No, Iv not. Not unless massage parlours are included.

Haha, what did you get for the 33 dollars?

Just a warning pretty much.

Nice try, pookie.

If Dr.Thirsty doesn't buy the Death's Door, I'll buy it and paste a God's honest review here, and on my Whiskey FB page. It's only 33 bucks, we've all spent more on less.

I'm out of this, for 15 bucks more I could have a bottle of The Tyrconnell Irish Whiskey, and for 12 bucks less, I can have the Rye White Whiskey from Heaven Hill (Trybox New Make), after very little thought on the matter, and sometimes that's all you need, I'm not game.

I haven't really enjoyed most of the "commercial moonshine" brands that have come out recently. To me, they just taste like super-cheap, harsh tequila.

Not to diss this particular white whiskey (and if you're buying I'm flying), but the companies marketing "legal shine" must be LTFAO. The majority of Americans have never tasted real moonshine but, since "everybody knows" that it's harsh tasting and rough drinking (in reality, some is some isn't), all that these distillers have to do is keep from blinding or killing anybody and they can pretty much sell whatever swill they think they can get away with. What a friggin' scam.

Real shine is sweet and smooth. It's like the Cadillac of booze. There are some folks out there that are still doing it right, and I'm lucky enough to live within a few miles of them http://www.moonshine.com/stillhouse.php

No.

Sorry guys, but I'm going to have to try what pookie was selling. I saw the cat that makes this on the History Channel. He was the first of the outlaws to go legit. So even if it is over hyped, I still want to try it and maybe talk to the guy, the distiller, not his sleazy looking money man partner. For this one I will run down to VA for a day just to see if I can meet him and ask some questions. Not likely to happen in the near future as new job has limited time off.

[TheBigCasino]

the guys got credentials, but triple distilled 80 proof "original" moonshine? I can't follow that. Something tells me the guys with the $$$ are making the decisions. People that will drink higher proof stuff and enjoy it and talk about it seriously are few and far between. The man has to make a living, I understand that, but on the flipside, that doesn't mean I have to buy it. I'm gonna let this one go down the road.

Big C, beyond any shadow of doubt the $$$ guys are in charge here. Just look how big Lang's bio is compared to Chuck's. All over the front page is Lang's name, as co founder and resturateur as well as a renowned chef. Not too mention the other co founder Berkerman being listed as a "serial ENTREPRENEUR".

Chuck gets a short bio and a mention of how he was "discovered" by Lang after researching a way to make legal 'shine.

Quoted from the site:



Internationally renowned barbecue chef Adam Perry Lang first experienced moonshine six years ago at a barbecue competition in Huntsville, Alabama. Having always been a whiskey drinker, Adam’s interest was immediately peaked once he tried the handcrafted authentic spirit from a mason jar. He realized that moonshine had great possibilities and was something that he thought he could help perfect.


By "help to perfect", he meant, Holy shit, this stuff is too strong for my dainty ass!! Let's weaken it and sell the image of hard ass moonshine.

All that horse shit aside, I'd still like to meet Chuck. Third generation "shiner. That man could be a well-spring of knowledge if I can tap it. If that means buying some of his bosses wannabe 'shine, so be it. These guys that know what they are doing are a dying breed, and I'm not getting any younger.

Nail on the head, agree and understand completely.

As far as my concern goes only real moonshine I've had was produced by chemistry students. Pure and perfect as it was it left your troath rather dry after few shots and sore the next day. On the other hand isn't that supposed to happen with 94%.point something alcohol.

I really feel that branding moonshine is strange concept and rather fake-ish as well.

[peetie44]

When we are reduced to nitpicking and debating the street cred of every fake "moon$hine company" in America, then we will know that the taste of good whiskey matters no longer.

It's all bells and whistles...and who gets suckered-in the deepest by the ghost of PT Barnum.

"Original MOONSHINE® Clear Corn Whiskey is hand-crafted from 100% estate-grown corn and distilled four times in a Prohibition-era copper pot still – in the same authentic tradition that moonshine has been made for hundreds of years. At 80 proof, our all-natural, gluten-free proprietary recipe is charcoal-filtered for the highest purity, quality and taste. A truly versatile spirit, SHINE can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks and in a wide range of mixed cocktails."

WOW! These shysters are really living on the edge, eh?

And what's the price for 750ml of 40% abv (80 proof) unaged corn whiskey...I mean, it shouldn't cost all that much, should it? OOPS...

Somewhere, PT Barnum must be smiling.

I see your point peetie, I did some further research on the supposed original outlaw shiner, he never brewed a day illegally, his granddaddy did. He just got the info second hand from uncles and such. His grandaddy was already dead when Chuck brewed his first batch. Probably rolling over in his grave right now.

[Lush30]

I'm almost glad I probably can't get my hands on this stuff because I'd probably just neck glasses and glasses of the stuff with lemonade as if it was vodka - I'd be dead by morning, especially if the rate I can finish a bottle of voddie is anything to go by haha
