Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine Review
There are a lot of myths and misconceptions over moonshine. We try to dispel them with our review of Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine.
Putting White Dog Down
When we first launched Drink Spirits we were very enthusiastic about white dog (or unaged whiskey). Our excitement in this space was further fueled by Max Watman and his book, Chasing The White Dog. In addition to inspiring us, the book has been massively influential, helping move white dog into the national press spotlight, including the New York Times piece, “Raw Whiskey Finds [...]
High West Silver Western Oat Whiskey Review
If you had any doubt about the explosive growth of micro-distilleries in America, you need to look no further than High West Distillery located in Park City, Utah. The mere thought of a distillery in one of the driest states in America is mind blowing. In Park City there are extremely strict rules and regulations about where and when you can drink. [...]
Chasing The White Dog: An Amateur Outlaw’s Adventures in Moonshine
Max Watman’s Chasing The White Dog: An Amateur Outlaw’s Adventures in Moonshine is one of those great books that sucks you into a world and then leaves you feeling like you have a deeper understanding of the space. Rather than just present a straight line history of distilling, both legal and illegal, Max Watman weaves the history with a personal [...]
Tuthilltown Spirits Hudson New York Corn Whiskey Review
The next stop on my journey thought the wonderful world of white dog is Tuthilltown Spirits Hudson New York Corn Whiskey. Located in the Hudson Valley, about two hours away from New York City in a town called Gardiner, Tuthilltown Spirits is another fantastic micro-distillery using local grains, small batch distilling and a hand-crafted process that ensures each bottle of spirit they [...]
Glen Thunder Corn Whiskey Review
Up in the middle of upstate New York, a little off to the eastern side, is a collection of long, thin, finger-like lakes called, appropriately enough, “The Finger Lakes”. It was at the base of one of these lakes (Lake Cayuga) that I spent my college years. The region is gorgeous (the official town slogan is “Ithaca is Gorge-ous” after all the [...]
Charbay Doubled & Twisted Light Whiskey
I continue my adventures with “White Dog” or white (unaged) whiskey with Charbay’s Doubled & Twisted Light Whiskey distilled from bottle ready IPA beer. Doubled & Twisted has a sweet and florally nose with just a hint of hops. There and ever so slight hint of yeastiness. It’s the kind of nose that you want to linger on and really take in. As complex [...]
The Finest Words Ever Written About Whiskey
I’ve been making my way through Max Watman’s Chasing The White Dog, when on page 181 I realized that Watman had written perhaps the finest paragraph about Whiskey I had ever read. It sums up my feelings about whiskey so well I just had to share it: To say a whiskey is the best I’ve ever had is impossible – [...]
Chasing The White Dog with Max Watman
White dog is the pure distilled spirit made from fermented grain. This clear high proof spirit is ultimately put into barrels and aged to become the golden whiskey most people are familair with. For some this interm distilled spirit IS the final product and if it is produced from an illegal source it’s commonly referred to as ‘moonshine‘. The illegal [...]
