Three competitors faceoff in a series of challenges focused on making a specific type of spirit, including American whiskey, rum, gin, mountain brandy, and mezcal among others. Beyond the necessary amount of skill required to complete the challenges, these competitors will need to prove their knowledge of the craft and demonstrate profound creativity as they convert raw local ingredients into authentic, handcrafted spirits that will impress the most seasoned of distilling experts. The champion of each episode will receive a limited release of their winning recipe through Sugarlands Distilling Co.
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.
