corn mash
Whiskey's wet start
Corn mash is a mixture of ground corn and water, heated and fermented to produce alcohol.
It's the foundation of bourbon, moonshine, and other corn-based whiskeys.
The term appears in discussions of distilling, both legal and illicit: They cooked up a batch of corn mash in the back hollow.
