white dog

Snow-colored pet

White dog is slang for illegally distilled whiskey—moonshine fresh from the still before any barrel aging.

The name comes from its clear, colorless appearance.

The term has been adopted by some legal distilleries for unaged corn whiskey: The distillery sells white dog alongside their aged bourbon.
