Sugarlands Jim Tom Hedrick's Unaged Rye Moonshine (75cl, 50%)

Sugarlands Jim Tom Hedrick's Unaged Rye Moonshine is an unaged rye whiskey bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof) in a 750ml jar. It belongs to the Sugarlands Legends Series and is made at Sugarlands Distilling Co. in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The recipe is that of Jim Tom Hedrick, the moonshiner and still-maker known from Discovery Channel's Moonshiners. It uses a high-rye mash and sees no oak. The nose is fresh rye spice, sweet corn and light herbal notes. The palate is grain-forward and bold, with cracked black pepper, liquorice and a touch of sweet earthiness. The finish is long and hot, with spice and grain sweetness.
