Commercially Available 'Shine / Corn Likker?

Post by Deke Dirt »

I know there's a few of these around and I've read on here Georgia Moon being impugned but I was wondering if there is a good one out there?

Otherwise, if anyone knows of any viable alternatives that can be shipped to Great Britain / the UK, please feel free to E-mail me.

Yes....there is one very good one being made.

It's called Virginia Lightning, made by Chuck Miller of Culpepper Farms.....

Chuck is a retired areonautical engineer who grows all his own corn on the farm and pot stills everything right there on location. You can order it online. It is 100% corn, no other grains. It has a very 'bright' corn flavor.

Actually... Chuck's farm is called "Belmont Farms of Virginia" and yes... bright is a good description of Virginia Lightnings' flavor. I concider his clear corn whiskey very tasty and smooth. It is 100 proof.

It is triple distilled and does not have too much in the way of flavor.
