Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Junior Johnson’s Carolina Moonshine

Country: USA

Region: North Carolina

Type: American Moonshine

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 81 Points

The NASCAR legend was equally famous in North Carolina for his family’s moonshine, and this comes as close to that recipe as possible. Unlike most “shine”, this is distilled from grains, and the nose is crisp and clean with notes of boiled sweet corn and vanilla. The taste is thick and chewy, reminiscent of corn on the cob with pepper. The finish is smooth and lingering with a slight sweetness. Very drinkable.
