According to a recent new york daily news article he’s on the shelves in Georgia and South Carolina. Sorry I don’t have the link. I just googled “tim tickle corn whiskey” and it came right up.

Fractional distillation relies on different liquids in the alcohol having different boiling points. The people who apply the denaturants selected them very carefully to keep the boiling points as close as possible. It is much more difficult than you imply.
Ignore BtC. It’s people like him that got moonshining illegal to start with. Wood alcohol will cause death and blindness. What he describes has been tried in other countries because someone with a little bit of knowledge (think BtC) tried to cut corners. It always ends badly.
Thanks.
Sounds scary, the risk/reward ratio seems very skewed to me.
“It is much more difficult than you imply.”
You’re wrong, but I guess you’re accustomed to that. By your comment, I see you are more interested in contradicting than learning. Good luck with that.
And you’re an ass, but I guess YOU’RE used to THAT.
You started it, and you seem to enjoy it.
Started what??? A simple Wikipedia search for “denatured alcohol” bears out what I said, which was based on 3+ years of college organic chemistry. Your rebuttal was a childish personal attack that was not only incorrect but rude as well. So grow up, do your homework, or shut your blowhole — preferably all three.
In your many years of college, I guess you skipped the course on formal logic where they explained quantification.
I could, easily and safely, fractionally distill some formulations of denatured alcohol, producing good drinking neutral spirits. That includes some formulations available in local paint stores in five gallon quantities.
Prove that I cannot.
You are wrong, and I don’t expect you to ever understand how or why. I think it is beyond your capacity. If you care to look up “Dunning-Kruger”, perhaps you might get a glimpse beyond your domain. Good luck!
I get it now. You are undoubtedly testing the results of your distillations, and the consequences are obvious.
I’ve read in the latter stages of dementia that the cognitive senses are diminished and the delusions of grandeur increased. I don’t know why that came to me while reading BtC comments and your well reasoned replies.
