Taste the Spirit of America

Click HERE for the whole Southwind story.
 
When the boat moored in the Big Easy, it was turned into a floating distillery. After 50 days and 1712 miles, the 42 sorts of corn, collected during the trip, were slowly turned into Moonshine. Moonshine! The Spirit of rebellious moonrakers, the homebrew that indirectly brought about NASCAR. What could be more American than a Spirit that carries the essence of ten states? We rediscovered America and Southwind Moonshine is the legacy of the endeavor.
 
Take your senses on a boat trip down the Mississippi River. Rediscover America with your palate.

The time spent sharing something new with family and friends on the patio with a fire in the chiminea. Great conversations

Elizabeth,
This is my third unaged whiskey, and was as good as the first one I've ever had (Unnamed friend's basement copper still more than 20 years ago), and way better than the second (McMenamins White Owl Whiskey). Apple juice with grass cuttings and a spicy aftertaste. If nothing about that sounds good, don't get it. I too will want to order again, but after some smoky, peaty whiskey, thank you.
 
Brian
Brian,
To date the best white lighting I have ever tried. The mash is amazing and complex for moonshine and there is zero bite! Good job Flaviar keep killing it!
 
Brandon
Brandon,
Flavor was not for me.
 
Ryan
Ryan,
If you don’t like unaged corn whiskey, OR if you haven’t tried it before, maybe you shouldn’t be reviewing this. However, if you do enjoy unaged corn whiskey, this is a pretty strong (no pun intended) offering. Although perfectly fine taken straight, the higher the usual (>40ish%) alcohol content can mask some of the flavor. When whiskey goes much above 40% is when I would advocate for adding ice or cold water to unmask the other notes (diluting from 40% I personally leave to the professionals, at least in terms of flavor notes). To me this is a smooth at the fore corn whiskey that quickly segues to spicy, but doesn’t quite become ‘harsh’...though I admit that I would probably disagree with myself about a decade ago. Maybe not for the uninitiated, or for those who prefer something uniformly smooth, but so far as I’m concerned that leaves me some extra bottles to order and enjoy in the future.

Tommy,
Southwest Moonshine is my kind of drink. Made from corn. Flavor box did not impress me. I hate anything with rye unless it is made well.

No burn but tastes terrible

Not very good. I made a poor decision.

Didn't like the taste of it at all tasted like chewing on a piece of paper
 
Jason
Jason,
I thought it was awesome if you like strong corn liquor. It is definitely not for the girly man.
 
Alex
Alex,
I’ve made my own and tried white dog from a handful of bourbon distilleries throughout Kentucky... this is better than anything I’ve ever had. It must come down to the corn they use. It’s proofed lower than the hearts you can sip straight out of the still, but the flavor is complex and enticing. I need to get some better corn!!
 
Ronald
Ronald,
I did not care for the flavour but my better half did but not the burn.
 
Jason
Jason,
This is what corn liquor is all about, not for the girly man.
 
Cade
Cade,
Had a strong stereotypical moonshine taste to it, nothing really special about it I've gotten almost the same exact thing from the resident distiller.
 
Jim
Jim,
Very enjoyable straight up chilled... But I enjoyed making my own spin with Moonshine Manhattans!
 
ROBERT
ROBERT,
I didn’t care for i1. I will NOT finish drinking it.

It was excellent. I really enjoyed the taste.
 
Cade
Cade,
Was expecting some flare with this, but it tasted the same as the moonshine distilled in neighbors backyards
 
Bill
Bill,
Totally unlike anything I had expected. Reminded me of Cod Liver Oil. I’ll stay with the Bourbons.
 
D
D,
What a great representation of how to do curated corn whiskies well. Mild flavor, well balanced...great backstory.

PETER,
OK , ROUGH , WILD , LIVES UP TO ITS '' MOONSHINE'' NAME . BUT NEVER MIND THE FLAVOR , THE STORY BEHIND THIS LIQUOR IS WONDERFUL , THE GUYS WHO MADE IT WORTH SUPPORTING . BUY A BOTTLE TODAY.... Peter

Marcia,
This is the first moonshine I’ve tried that is sold retail. It was rough going down, but no bad side affects. I slept like a baby
 
Sean
Sean,
It was ok...interesting corn flavor...different than my usual brown liquors...a nice change.
 
Brian
Brian,
Wasn't really my thing. It had a very heavy corn flavor and wasn't all that smooth. Would not buy again.
 
Ivan
Ivan,
Great flavor! Smooth finish, and does not linger!
 
Justin
Justin,
I remember moonshine from the Ozarks being much smoother. I expected this to be a close cousin. A little disappointed in this one. I’ll use it as a mixer.
 
Michael
Michael,
This isn’t terrible, but I didn’t think the taste or nose was very good either. The finish is decent though. Glad I tried it, but have had much better.
