Get ready to watch the booze makers battle it out to find out who is the best in a brand new competition series. Master Distiller will premiere next month, and it will feature three contestants battling it out for the title.
Discovery Channel revealed more about this new series in a press release. Check that out below.
“Three competitors. Three judges. One winning spirit. In an all-new Discovery Channel series, MASTER DISTILLER, America’s top legal and outlaw distillers go head to head in the ultimate booze-making competition to see who has what it takes to join the ranks of the greats and win the title of Master Distiller.
The all-new series, MASTER DISTILLER, premieres Tuesday, March 3 at 10pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel after an all-new episode of MOONSHINERS at 9pm ET/PT.
Across the country, distillers carry on a centuries old tradition. While some operate on the legal side, others perfect their craft in the shadows and beyond the reach of the law. Now, these diverse distillers will compete to earn their place in liquor-making history.
Judged by three legendary Moonshiners – Mark, Digger and Tim of Discovery’s MOONSHINERS – three competitors will faceoff each week in a series of challenges focused on making a specific type of spirit, including American whiskey, rum, gin, mountain brandy, and mezcal among others. Beyond the necessary amount of skill required to complete the challenges, these competitors will need to prove their knowledge of the craft and demonstrate profound creativity as they convert raw local ingredients into authentic, handcrafted spirits that will impress the most seasoned of distilling experts. The champion of each episode will receive a limited release of their winning recipe through Sugarlands Distilling Co.
With bragging rights on the line and a limited run of their winning product on the shelf, who will have what it takes to be named MASTER DISTILLER?
MASTER DISTILLER is produced for Discovery Channel by Magilla Entertainment. Executive producers for Magilla Entertainment are Matthew Ostrom, Laura Palumbo Johnson, Jason Fox and Cristin Cricco-Powell. For Discovery Channel, executive producer is Bill Howard and associate producer is Paola Espinosa.”

Love the show would love to be a contestants on the show
I am a beginner in the moonshine world and love the show it is entertaining and informative. Thanks
Entertaining and competitive. Most definitely will watch another season. I believe it needs to be cranked up a notch by
having more than 3 people competing at once. This is a highly competitive market as the whole world seemingly has rediscovered the art of making moonshine liquor. Good luck, the old timers have a huge advantage, even over science.

Would love to see you have people like me who know the raw basics of the craft but have never done it for more than a hobby or just to see if they could. What I see on the show are people who have been in the trade for years. Just saying I think it would be more interesting to see what the true beginners would do. Love the show

I want to be on the show and learn how to make moonshine that’s a dream of mine
I want to enter this competition. I and my business partner have registered our Business in Texas as: Texas Rivers Distilling Co., LLC. We are applying for an SBA loan but have been turned down twice for “Not having an experienced Distillery professional in our staff”.. we have full support and consultation from Dr. Pat Heist of Wilderness Trail Distillery in Kentucky, but the banks want us to have an owner with Skin in the Game.. that has recognized experience .. this contest would give me some much needed clout. my family comes from eastern Tennessee.

I guess the warning that this is illegal and “ should not try this” is bogus since it is now a competition in full view, unless it is shot in remote location, but wait cops watch TV too. Anyway I don’t believe this show, everyone is successful, all transaction are worry free and cops always look stupid with illegal activity right under their noses
