A corn spirit entirely devoid of colour (but not of flavour!) due to an ageing period guaranteed less than thirty days! For a drinker who thinks they've tried everything.

Corn whiskey (sometimes Corn Liquor or "White Lightning") is an American liquor made from a mash made of at least 80 percent corn. Distinct from the typical American moonshine, corn whiskey uses a traditional mash process. Several commercial distillers such as Heaven Hill and Buffalo Trace have started to produce corn whiskeys for retail sale. The whiskey is typically distilled at a high proof (up to 160 proof). The unaged corn whiskey is then diluted with water to at most 62.5 percent alcohol by volume, but usually 40 percent alcohol by volume, and bottled for retail.

The whiskey can be aged in used or uncharred oak barrels, though this practice strays from traditional moonshining. Ageing usually is brief, six months or less, during which time the whiskey absorbs colour and flavour from the barrel while the off-flavours and fusel alcohols are reduced. A variant called Straight Corn Whiskey is also produced, in which the whiskey is stored in used or uncharred new oak containers for 2 years or more.
