Episodes
Reverse Engineering Showdown
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.
Zero Proof Spirits
Mark, Digger and Tim judge as three expert distillers compete to run zero-proof spirits that taste as good as their high-proof benchmarks. Zero-proof is the fastest-growing segment in the adult beverage market. Naturally, Tickle has his doubts.
Free Is Me
Three expert distillers forage free raw ingredients from nature and compete to turn them into tasty, high-proof spirits. But with backwoods legends Mark, Digger and Tim at the judging table, the price of failure far exceeds the low cost of entry.
Corn Stars
A base recipe invented centuries ago spawned the American moonshines and bourbons we know today. Now, three distillers will start with the same heritage corn and battle for their own corn liquor legacy and a chance to be named Master Distiller.
Rum Lovin' Criminals
Before there was bourbon or rye, rum ruled the American colonies. Now, three experts compete for a place in the six-billion-dollar spiced rum market, but only one will become Master Distiller and earn a run of their winning spirit at a major distillery.
Tea Party Rebellion
Tea and liquor -- they're two beverages Americans will fight a rebellion for. Mark, Digger, and Tim judge as three distillers compete to turn America's duo of hard-won drinks into one top-selling spirit for a chance to win the title of Master Distiller.
Liquid Gold Liquor
Rare and illegal, wild ginseng can command thousands of dollars per pound. But for three aspiring distillers, a run of ginseng liquor can mean hitting the high-dollar jackpot and a chance to be named Master Distiller.
Tickle's Billion-Buck Booze
Flavored whisky is a billion-dollar market on the legal side, but when Tickle hears the challenge, he crashes the party as an outlaw contender. Facing two skilled distillers, each must craft a recipe from scratch for a chance to be named Master Distiller.
Lucky But Illegal
Moonshine has an Irish forefather, a high-proof spirit called Poitin, still outlawed in Northern Ireland. For this challenge, three skilled distillers bring their own ingredients and rebel spirit, but only one will be crowned Master Distiller.
Sudden Elimination
On a special Master Distiller Tournament, five champion outlaw distillers battle it out in a backwoods battle royale. Amanda, Richard, Kelly, Tater and Mike pit their ingenuity against each other in a series of sudden-elimination challenges.
Outlaw Rules
Four outlaw distillers, Amanda, Richard, Kelly and Tater, battle for their place in shiner history. Facing real-world outlaw challenges and two eliminations, only one will emerge as Master of the Backwoods.
How You Like Them Apples?
After defeating four expert moonshiners, only two champions remain to compete in the final distillation, running an apple brandy direct from a mountain stream. After a blind tasting, only one moonshiner will emerge as Master of the Backwoods.
