Description:
Thirteenth Colony Distilleries released a limited quantity of traditional, southern corn whiskey early September, 2010. The South Georgia distillery produced only 400 cases of the 2010 Southern Corn Whiskey.
13th Colony Southern Corn Whiskey is the first aged spirit released by the South Georgia craft distillery. The whiskey is bottled in a unique decanter with wooden and cork finish closure and a label reflecting it southern roots and the premium aged spirit waiting to be sipped and enjoyed. Truly, a unique and distinctive distilled spirit, each bottle is personally signed and numbered by Thirteenth Colony distiller, Graham Arthur. Derived from a traditional southern recipe and aged in old oak barrels, the smooth taste is complex with hints of oak, spice, butter, and sweet corn. Not for the faint of heart, this dangerously drinkable whiskey is bottled at 95 proof.

Varietal Definition
Corn Whiskey:
Corn whiskey is an American whiskey made from a mash made up of at least 80 percent corn (maize). The whiskey is distilled to not more than 40 percent alcohol by volume. It does not have to be aged but, if it is aged, it must be in new or used uncharred oak barrels. Aging usually is brief, i.e., six months. During aging the whiskey picks up color and flavor and its harshness is reduced.
