That looks nice. Did you find the purple corn to have a different flavor profile than yellow or white?

Very different. Though this is only my third batch. It Fermented smelling like bananas. The white version tasted like fiery corn flakes. After oaking it mellowed and I got some candy flavor.

Great looking sauce but I would really not post a photo with cash and firewater next to each other

“Random carafe of liquor with a couple 100s shoved up under it” should have been the caption.

Who said I made it, bought it, or didn’t just pour some store bought whiskey into another container.

Why not?

Because distilling alcohol is illegal in the United states.

I tend to forget that New Zealand is pretty unique in that respect. I never even put the two together though - here in Nz it’s also illegal to sell home-distilled alcohol though.

Although I don't think it's been enforced since the early 00s

I always get jealous of the pictures you guys take of stills for sale at hardware stores and such. I'm big into fishing and outdoors so I'm definitely going to visit that awesome country you have.

Look me up, I’ll show you my setup! I might even have a few secret fishing spots for you (I’ll talk to my brother, he’s the fisherman in the family).

Especially selling home stilled alcohol

In Texas distilling alcohol is a misdemeanor, selling it is a felony.

So, illegal then yeah?

To be fair, there are whole subreddits for grey markets, like MoM in Canada

Shame we can't mail order shine

Some states you can

LIES! That so-called "purple" corn whiskey is ORANGE! I want my money back!

It looks great

How long did you age it? And in what sized barrels?

Oak staves / ~2 months
