Corn Licker

'It smells like gangrene starting in a mildewed silo; it tastes like the wrath to come, and when you absorb a deep swig of it you have all the sensation of having swallowed a lighted kerosene lamp. A sudden, violent jolt of it has been known to stop the victims watch, snap his suspenders and crack his glass eye right across.'

Defiition of Corn Licker given to the Distillers Code Authority by Irvin Shrewsbury Cobb.
