You have to admit, moonshine and the south simply seems to go together. If you are going to look at the culture of the south, here is a very interesting place to start!! Get ready to step back in time.

“Makin’ good moonshine is quite an art. It takes lots of time and practice before one can whip up a good batch that sells. Throughout history, there have been many ways of making moonshine. Some folks would add a special ingredient or perform a certain method during the distilling period to make their moonshine taste distinct.”
