"Georgia Moon" brand of corn whiskey is not aged and is clear. It is an imitation of moonshine -- even the bottle looks like a Mason jar, and proclaimes "aged less than 30 days". Judging from its appearance, it is likely that it has not been aged, at least in a barrel, at all.

[edit] Definitions

"Corn Squeezin's" is different from "Corn Whiskey" in that corn sqeezin's is not a distilled spirit made from grain, but a fermented drink made from the sweet sap of the corn stalk. A farmer may place jugs with corncob stoppers in the opening (corncobs have a pourous center)on the floor of a silo, once the silo is filled with corn & cornstalks, the weight of the stored corn will squeeze the sap from the cornstalks, which will drip down & eventually fill the jugs, which will naturally ferment and produce corn squeezin's. In this regard corn sqeezin's is closer to a wine than a whiskey, & is not illegal to make. A press may be used to make this on a smaller scale. (tra1er, 8/17/07)
