Review: Margaritaville Chillin’ Pour Liquor Chiller

This afternoon I received the Margaritaville Liquor Chiller, and of course had to unpack it and give it a try. Since it was open already, I used the rest of the Midnight Moon Cherry Moonshine that I reviewed last week.

This thing will be great camping and at parties, but does quite well on the counter at home.
Simply open the top and add 750ml of your favorite liquor or mixed drink, and in 2-4 hours you are ready to drink without needing to add ice. In 2 hours your beverage of choice is a frigid 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and in 4 hours it is a frosty 15 degrees! No need for ice, no waiting to mix, just place your red solo cup under the spout and pull the handle. A handy light allows you to see inside of the cup, and you are on your way to liquid refreshment.

Key Features:

  • Model: NBMGDC1000
  • Super-chills cocktails, shots and liquors to 15° F, Colder than Ice (32ºF)
  • Chillin’ Pour holds 750ml (a whole bottle) of your favorite liquor or drinks.

Review - Midnight Moon's Cherry Moonshine

With the rise of Whiskey in America, many people have renewed their family traditions in Moonshine.  In May of 2007, moonshine and racing legend Junior Johnson became part owner of Piedmont Distillers and together they introduced Junior Johnson’s Midnight Moon. It is based on the Johnson family’s generations-old moonshine recipe. It is also born in a copper still, made from corn, crafted in small batches and triple distilled.

Midnight Moon's Cherry Moonshine is a nice, smooth whiskey.  The strong cherry flavor comes from cherries not just being used in the distillation, but whole cherries being added to the finished bottling.  This combination brings the most fruit flavor to the drink, in addition to imparting great color.  The taste of cherry layers nicely under the slight carmel flavor of the corn whiskey made to the Johnson Family recipe.

This is a very nice whiskey.  It doesn't have the complexity of an aged bourbon or scotch, but moonshine has a solid place both in American folk lore and drinking history.  It will make a great addition to any liquor cabinet (and any bottle of cola).
