I found an old jar of this in my grandmothers cabinet. I have no idea how old it could be, but it still has the paper A.T.F. stamp from the jar to the lid. It also has a state of Georgia liquor stamp on it with numbers and such. Does anyone know how to date this un-opened jar off the numbers on these seals??? I’d like to know how old it is…my best guesstimate is from between 78-86 seeing as how there are a lot of un-opened bottles with seals with dates on them. This was the only one that didn’t have a date stamp on. Needless to say any info on this would be helpful!!!…no longer is this jar less than 30 days old!

Ha! Good note Russel – I think that’s exactly the impression they were trying to give! They want to add an edge of unlawfulness, of danger to the aura. I was merely trying to contextualize it rather than rationalize it.

Thanks for reading!

My experience was a harsh clingy after taste resembling a belch after drinking water from a cheap garden hose this is by far no quality item but a tawdry novelty that insults the fine art of making moonshine corn whiskey this stuff is similar to what the old aficionados called “pop skull” made by scurrilous n`er do wells in car radiators!

I saw this odd little one in the local liquor store, which enticed me but looked fairly risky. Your review provided ample info on this oddity, which was very helpful!
P.S. Nice to see some variation in the circle of whisky bloggers for focusing on American spirits; you deserve to be read more widely!
