White Dog
White Dog is the term used for unaged whiskey, essentially the raw spirit that comes straight from the still before it has been aged in barrels. It is clear and colorless, as it hasn’t absorbed any of the flavors or colors that typically come from the aging process in charred oak barrels. Often referred to as "moonshine" or "new make spirit," White Dog offers a pure and unrefined taste of the grains used in the mash.
The flavor profile of White Dog is bold and grain-forward, with a noticeable alcohol bite and hints of sweet corn, malted barley, or rye, depending on the mash bill. It is usually bottled at a high proof, ranging from 40% to 60% alcohol content, which gives it a potent, sharp character.
White Dog is often used as a base for aging into bourbon or whiskey, but it can also be enjoyed neat, in cocktails, or as part of the craft spirits movement, where distillers showcase the raw spirit before barrel aging. Its boldness and intensity make it a unique drinking experience, offering insight into the early stages of whiskey production.
