I've been fighting to find a subject to post about and the last two I had kind of fell through. So, why not do a review?

Catdaddy: Spiced Carolina Moonshine
Proof: 80
Origin: North Carolina
Color/Age: Clear, Unaged
Grain(s): Sweet Corn
A Little Bit About It
This un-aged liquor was first produced by Piedmont Distillers in 2005 and up until a few years ago was completely exclusive to North Coralina. Each batch is born in a copper pot still, true to the moonshine'n ways of the south. Catdaddy is distilled from corn, in small batches and the bottles even have the batch number hand written on them. In 2009 they were invited to the 51st GRAMMY awards in Los Angeles, which is amazing considering how small the distillery is.
Scent
It smells like Christmas! The smells of cinnamon and nutmeg fill the nose with a hint of pine (possibly juniper?). These delicious scents are accompanied by a hint of warm vanilla. One sniff of this wonderfully spiced moonshine and you'll be taken back to holidays past.
Flavor
My brother like to describe it's taste as 'Christmas'. Spice with vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon (possibly more they just won't say!), this is a perfect liquor to add to EggNog around the holidays.
The cinnamon gives it an almost spicy start but is quickly overridden with the taste of vanilla and what reminds me of brown sugar, creating a sweet warm finish that lingers on the tongue.
Warmth
This isn't a drink I would consume on a hot summer's day, even on the rocks. Though Catdaddy is extremely smooth it does warm you up quite fast, which makes it perfect for those cold winter evenings (or mornings if that's your thing).
Conclusion
At 40% ALC/VOL, this moonshine sits along side any whiskey or bourbon. The flavor makes it easy to consume which is good or bad depending on how you look at it. Perfect for the holidays, cold days, or just whenever! Although I do like this drink, Catdaddy isn't something I could drink all the time or even have more than a few drinks of it the same night. The flavors are well balanced at first but as your palette adjusts it can become overly sweet and sugary. Overall a great moonshine but not an ever-day drink and best served on the rocks (it is good at room temp too).
P.S. it's great for bachelor parties!
