Review: Cole Swindells Pre Show Punch
A bottle of Cole Swindells Pre Show Punch has been sitting on my back bar for a month now as I’ve anxiously waited for it’s release. Pre Show Punch will start arriving on store shelves Friday January 18. It is produced and bottled by Sugarlands Distilling Company in Gatlinburg Tennessee. The neutral spirits base is made from Tennessee white corn milled onsite. The milled corn and pure cane sugar are combined with back-ins from the prior batch along with yeast and pure Smoky Mountains water. The fermentation process takes 4-5 days. Once fermented, the mash is transferred to a copper pot still for the first distillation. The spirit next moves through a copper distillation column where it condenses and is redistilled 5 more times. The heads and tails of the liquid are separated leaving only the heart. Natural flavors and certified colors are added before bottling at 50 proof. Read more 
Review: Stillhouse Coconut Moonshine
Stillhouse Coconut Moonshine was re-launched March 2016. It was originally introduced along with a Peach Tea, Apple Crisp, and Red Hot flavor in 2014. While the first thing I notice is the stainless steel can it is now packaged in, further investigation shows the alcohol has been increased from 40 to 69 proof. They also added a Mint Chip flavor to their lineup. The moonshine base was created by Brad Beckerman and Adam Perry Lang who spent three years developing the recipe. It is made from 100% estate grown corn that is distilled five times in a traditional copper whiskey still that was built in 1930. After charcoal filtering a coconut liqueur is infused before canning at 69 proof. Besides standing out on the back of a bar, the turpentine looking can is practical, as the can engineers even designed it to fit a universal pour spout for bars. Read more
