It tasted aged to me. If you were to do a blind taste test probably wouldn't know it compared to a run of the mill whisky like Jim Beam. I'm way behind on this past season of Moonshiners but Mark and Digger tried something similar with theirs with woodchips and some kind of ultrasonic cleaning machine that did not turn out right but they also did some quick aging using sea aging by putting a barrel on a boat and all the temperature changes and rocking of the barrels supposedly ages it quickly. They also did some kind of barrel aging by hanging some barrels on an abandoned amusement park ride up in the mountains where the rocking, temperature changes, and altitude basically do the same thing sea aging does. I always wonder though just how much of the stuff on that show is staged and dramatized but with Tim selling a legal product now if that is how he aged it I was surprised that it wasn't bad when I had some.
