Moonshiners: Master Distiller

Three expert distillers blind-taste a mystery liquor, then compete to recreate it from raw ingredients. Using only their senses, they must reverse-engineer the flavors, texture and proof in a challenge that puts even the judges to the test.

Mark, Digger and Tim judge as three expert distillers compete to run zero-proof spirits that taste as good as their high-proof benchmarks. Zero-proof is the fastest-growing segment in the adult beverage market. Naturally, Tickle has his doubts.

Three expert distillers forage free raw ingredients from nature and compete to turn them into tasty, high-proof spirits. But with backwoods legends Mark, Digger and Tim at the judging table, the price of failure far exceeds the low cost of entry.

A base recipe invented centuries ago spawned the American moonshines and bourbons we know today. Now, three distillers will start with the same heritage corn and battle for their own corn liquor legacy and a chance to be named Master Distiller.

Before there was bourbon or rye, rum ruled the American colonies. Now, three experts compete for a place in the six-billion-dollar spiced rum market, but only one will become Master Distiller and earn a run of their winning spirit at a major distillery.
