Following my post on Moonshiners, I received the following from Jack Wise:
Hey J. Scott,
Jack Wise here. The show is based in an area about 1 hours drive from where I now live in SW Virginia. There is still some of that going on where I now live; you can even find flavored moonshine. I’ve had some berry and apple flavored that was so smooth but could really kick you on your butt.
Speaking of apple moonshine, there is a legally distributed product named Junior Johnson’s Apple Pie Moonshine (left) that I recently started stocking in Buzzy’s Country Store. Per my buddy Greg Madjeski’s suggestion, we’re going to break one open here soon and do a little taste test to see how it compares to the real thing – not that we have any of the real thing around mind you but just for comparison purposes.
