I have read this thread and found it interesting. Good job Michael, I wish I could have been there.
I do have a comment on the White Dog and Georgia Moon.
I have smelled real White Dog at the Woodford Reserve distillery. It is hard for me to describe it, but it does smell a lot like the scent that is in the air from the mash cooking but more concentrated and not as much on the cereal side and a little sweeter.
I have also smelled (and drank) White Lighting which is of course illeagal unaged whiskey. I got it in Alabama.
And the White Lighting has a kerosene smell to it, and to me the Georgia Moon has that same kerosene smell but not as strong.
I don't know what the proof of the White Lighting was, but I tossed a shot of it in the fireplace and it flamed up, not has explosive as gasoline but definatly more flamable than charcoal lighter fluid, with a big blue flame.
I guess my point to all of this is that the Georgia Moon is closer to White Lighting than White Dog.
