"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.

The article said "not more than 40 percent by volume". I'm thinking that should be not LESS than, as there exist 100 proof (50% volume) corn whiskeys (ie Virginia Lightning). AnarchyElmo (talk) 03:34, 31 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Why is this article under "whiskey" but the Whisky article has no "e"? Badagnani 00:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

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)

To conform with Wkistandards, this article needs to be changed to Maize Whiskey — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:881:200:F424:4C51:B825:4B7:8C5F (talk) 23:34, 3 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia standards are to follow the sources. The name is "corn whiskey" by law. And WP:ENGVAR applies too. Change the name? Absolutely not. oknazevad (talk) 00:55, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

The jar is not a Mason jar

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

To be accurate, it is a screw-top jar, but not a Mason jar. A Mason jar has a two-part lid-and-band closure suitable for home canning. 184.187.191.147 (talk) 18:02, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
