Got these in Pantry
Real aged shine is pretty good. Store bought liquor, has been aged for many years in bonded warehouses.
Shine that thas also been aged, takes on its own charactar. Folks that say 190 proof is harsh, have never tried any that has been in "unbonded" warehouses.
Yes, it will burn, and there is no visible flame. The purest of the pure.

Actually, very little distilled liquor sold in stores is truly bottled in bond any longer. That's somewhat of an archaic way to produce in modern mass production.
You really need to read your own links. I was at a distillery last year that had bonded liquor.
Now, lets get back to the discussion about moonshine.

I've gotten some not so good stuff, I would love to find some that goes down like water, like some people have told me, I'm skeptical at best. 190 proof not burning like your drinking gas is hard for me to fathom!!!
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because in my mind it's a very small percentage of the whiskeys (primarily bourbons) I see that come from bonded warehouses. Definitely not the big names most of us cite in threads about whiskey, such as Blantons or Woodford and the like. Certainly little I see on shelves here in Oklahoma; it's also worth noting that the variants some spirits (like Old Granddad for example) sold in OK are not the bottled in Bond available in/around Kentucky. I've looked and the stones I turned over turned up pretty much nothing. I do have some Mellow Corn that is BiB. I would really like to try Very Old Barton BiB.
About moonshine, really it's mostly unaged spirit from corn, and that had no flavor to me aside from from the corn sweetness. I much prefer the character developed from aging in barrels.

I'm thinking you haven't experiened shine with "enhanced flavors". There is corn likker, and there is shine.
The shine I drank he had two jars, one was clear and one was a tea looking color. He always said take a sip of clear and chase with the other, I could not taste a difference.
Store bought stuff is okay. Look at the proof....most are only 40o/o or 80 proof. Everclear or Evergreen is about the closest.
Why don't you make your own....for your own consumption...NOT FOR SALE?!!
Have a few buddies over, mix it up, cook it, sample it and think of ways to improve it. Either white dog it or run it through some charcoal filters. Then ...if you want...put some fruit with it and let it sit for a while.
Be creative with it BEFORE you kill off your creative side of your brain drinking this. Trust me...its fun to dabble into the "fractal distillation" side of science! I knew there was a reason I got those Science degrees!!!
