The Bondurant Boys – Portrayed in the movie “Lawless” starring Shia LaBeouf as Jack Bondurant, the Bondurant Boys were Franklin County “rumrunners” in the 1930s. “Lawless” is based on the book The Wettest County in the World by Matt Bondurant, Jack Bondurant’s grandson.

1. In a 2012 Newsweek article, the younger Bondurant describes his “Grandpa Jack” as “an imposing man” while recalling taking stock of a pair of brass knuckles hanging on the wall in his grandfather’s storage room.
2. According to members of the Bondurant family, the Bondurant Boys – Forrest, Howard, and Jack – bucked the idea of paying additional “protection money” and were thus involved in a 1930 shoot-out with police at Maggodee Creek Bridge.

Two of the three were shot but none were killed. In fact, Matt Bondurant wrote that his grandfather’s shooting was unknown to the family until his father found a newspaper article about the incident. Upon questioning, Jack “merely lifted his shirt to show the bullet hole.”

What is the movie about the brothers selling moonshine?

Set in Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia, a trio of bootlegging brothers are threatened by a new special deputy and other authorities angling for a cut of their profits. In 1931, in Franklin County, Virginia, Forrest Bondurant is a legend as immortal after surviving the war. Together with his brothers Howard and the coward Jack, the Bondurant family has a distillery and bootlegging business. When the corrupt District Attorney Mason Wardell arrives in Franklin with the unscrupulous Special Deputy Charles Rakes, the Bondurant family refuses to pay the required bribe to the authorities. Rakes pursues the brothers and unsuccessfully tries to find their distillery. Meanwhile Forrest hires the waitress Maggie, a woman with a hidden past in Chicago, and they fall in love with each other. Jack courts the preacher’s daughter Bertha Minnix and deals a great load of alcoholic liquor with the powerful gangster Floyd Banner. Jack shows off in Franklin attracting the attention of Rakes that finds the location of their distillery. When he kills the crippled Cricket Pete, the locals join forces to face the corrupt authorities. — Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Three rebellious, bootlegging brothers find the elusive American Dream within their reach, and fight to maintain their grip as powerful urban gangsters reap the rewards of their hard work in this sprawling Great Depression-era crime drama from director John Hillcoat (The Road, The Proposition). At the height of Prohibition, ambitious country boy Jack Bondurant dreams of becoming “Public Enemy #1” while reaping all the benefits that go with the gangster lifestyle. By expanding his family’s moon shining business, he plots to launch a vast criminal empire while winning the heart of beautiful Amish girl Bertha. With his older, intimidating brother Howard by his side, Jack has the brawn to get the job done, too. But they need a strong leader to guide them – a responsibility that falls on their eldest sibling Forrest. Stoic and stalwart, Forrest is the kind of man who holds his cards close, and places a high value on character. Meanwhile, as the three siblings rise to power while battling treachery on both sides of the law, a mysterious woman named Maggie appears out of nowhere, prompting the thoughtful Forrest to question the true price of his outlaw ways. In 1931, the Bondurant brothers of Franklin County, Va., run a multipurpose backwoods establishment that hides their true business, bootlegging. Middle brother Forrest (Tom Hardy) is the brain of the operation; older Howard (Jason Clarke) is the brawn, and younger Jack (Shia LaBeouf), the lookout. Though the local police have taken bribes and left the brothers alone, a violent war erupts when a sadistic lawman (Guy Pearce) from Chicago arrives and tries to shut down the Bondurants operation. — krmanirethnam The three Bondurant brothers run a bootlegging operation during the depression, up in the mountains of Franklin County, Virginia. Crooked Special Deputy Charles Rakes is after a share of the brothers’ profits. Compounding their troubles, the local competition is elbowing in on their activities. Forrest’s boisterous defiance and Cricket’s knack for moonshine production help the brothers gain a local monopoly. When Forrest is wounded as tension with Rakes escalates, Jack, initially the timid one, must prove his worth against gangster Floyd Banner’s mob, and we see him metamorphose into a cocky exhibitionist in his attempts to woo the off-limits preacher’s daughter, Bertha. — Anonymous

During the Prohibition era, the Bondurant brothers – Forrest (Tom Hardy), Howard (Jason Clarke) and Jack (Shia LaBeouf) – run a successful liquor bootlegging business in Franklin County, Virginia, with the help of their friend, Cricket Pate (Dane DeHaan), using their bar as a front for their illegal activities. One day, Jack witnesses mobster Floyd Banner (Gary Oldman) eliminating a competitor and they exchange looks before Jack returns to the bar, where Forrest hires Maggie Beauford (Jessica Chastain), a dancer from Chicago, to be their new waitress. Shortly afterwards, the bar is visited by brutal Special Agent Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce), on behalf of District Attorney Mason Wardell. Rakes informs Forrest that he wants a cut of all profit made by Franklin’s bootleggers, but Forrest refuses and threatens to kill Rakes if he returns. Forrest later meets with the other bootleggers and convinces them to stand up to Rakes as well, though they eventually give in to Rakes’ violent intimidation tactics. Meanwhile, Jack meets Bertha Minnix (Mia Wasikowska), daughter of the local preacher. He attends the church drunk and makes a fool of himself, causing Bertha’s father to forbid her from seeing him, which only makes her more interested in Jack, with whom she flirts. Jack later finds Rakes raiding Cricket’s house in search of his distilation equipment. When they don’t find it, Rakes brutally beats Jack when he tries to intervene. Forrest hears of this and tells Jack that he needs to learn how to fight for himself. Forrest and Howard arrange to meet with potential clients from Chicago, but Howard misses his appointment to get drunk with a friend, and Forrest ends up beating the two men with Cricket’s help when they harrass Maggie. Later, after Cricket leaves, the men return, slash Forrest’s throat, and rape Maggie. Howard and Jack meet a surviving Forrest at the hospital, and Jack decides to travel to Chicago with Cricket to sell the liquor. Arriving there, they are doublecrossed by their clients, but are rescued by Banner, who recognizes Jack. Banner already knows of the attack on Forrest, as well as the identities of the two assailants, and he provides Jack with their address, and also advises Jack that they are working for Rakes. Forrest and Howard later find, torture, and kill the men to send a message to Rakes. Banner becomes a regular client of the brothers, who move their distilation equipment to the woods and have great profit. The money allows Jack to continue courting Bertha, while Forrest begins a relationship with Maggie after she moves into the bar for her safety, though she doesn’t tell him she was raped. Jack eventually decides to show Bertha the distilation center, but they are ambushed by Rakes and his men, who had followed her. Howard incapacitates Rakes and Jack nearly kills him before they are forced to flee from Rakes’s men with Bertha and Cricket, who is later recaptured and murdered by Rakes, who snaps his neck. Wanting revenge for Cricket’s death, Jack goes to confront Rakes and his men at a roadblock in the local bridge. Howard follows after him, rallying the bootleggers to come to their aid. Forrest decides to join them, though Maggie tries to dissuade him, telling him that it was she who had found him with his throat slashed and took him to the hospital. Forrest realizes then that she was also attacked that night, but Maggie continues to deny having been raped. The bootleggers engage Rakes’ men in a violent firefight, during which Rakes shoots Forrest multiple times before being shot in the leg and attempting to escape. A wounded Jack follows him to the bridge and shoots Rakes in the chest, wounding him. Howard later stabs Rakes with a large knife and leaves him to bleed to death. With Rakes and his men dead, the Bondurant Brothers decide to save their money and retire after Prohibition ends. Jack marries Bertha, Forrest marries Maggie, and Howard marries a local woman, all having children. During a reunion at Jack’s house, Forrest drunkly dances on a frozen lake and falls into the freezing water, dying of pneumonia a few weeks later. from wikipedia.org

Is the Bondurant family still around?

Bondurant Brothers Distillery by Terry Sullivan Summary: For some, the introduction to the Bondurant Brothers was the 2012 drama movie “Lawless.” The movie explores how three brothers: Jack, Forrest and Howard Bondurant crafted moonshine during the height of Prohibition. Now, the third generation of Jack Bondurant is legally making moonshine about 100 miles east of where his grandfather and great-uncles survived the Great Depression by making and selling moonshine. We met Robert Bondurant, grandson of Jack Bondurant, at his new distillery in Chase City, Virginia. Robert acknowledges that his grandfather and great-uncles were legends in Franklin County, Virginia. The movie Lawless depicts the activities of three of the nine Bondurant children during the Great Depression.

• The movie was based on another family member, Matt Bondurant’s novel, The Wettest County in the World,
• Robert explained that there were nine Bondurant children, six boys and three girls.
• Not all were involved in the moonshine business.
• Now three generations later, Robert is emulating his ancestors and making the legendary moonshine, but this time, legally.

The outside of the distillery is nondescript. It does not look like a distillery until you enter the tasting room and peer through the large windows into the production area. In a way, this is reminiscent of Robert’s grandfather’s and uncles’s distillery hidden in the mountains of Franklin County. Although the distillery is in Chase City, Mecklenburg County and about a 100 miles away from where the Bondurant family made moonshine, there is a Franklin County connection. The top of the steam, jacket pot still was manufactured in Franklin County and bears a plaque with the name Franklin County on a brass outline of the county.

• Why did Robert Bondurant locate the distillery in Mecklenburg County? Robert said, “Because the spring water in Chase City is phenomenal.” Robert likes the water here.
• In the distilling world, a great source of water is needed to produce great spirits.
• Robert always had the idea of building a distillery.

He explained, “Back in the day, they (family) made a product that people wanted.” Robert wants to stay true to the simplicity that his family used in making corn whiskey. His recipe is simple. Robert uses white corn, his own malted barley, sugar and Fleischmann’s yeast. The Bondurant Brothers tasting room opened in early 2017. There is a wooden tasting counter that can accommodate a few people at a time. Behind the tasting counter, windows allow distilled spirits enthusiasts a glimpse into the production area. Opposite the tasting counter there are shelves of moonshine and clothing with the Bondurant Brothers logo. Spirits At the time of our visit, only the Moonshine was available. Robert explained that although he will serve a tasting of the moonshine straight, he also makes cocktails. The Moonshine was clear with a corn aroma and taste. It was very smooth with a bit of heat on the finish. There was a long sweet aftertaste. Robert then made a cocktail. Jack’s Favorite was named after his grandfather. To a glass of ice, Robert added moonshine and Sundrop soda. The cocktail was delicious. Kathy had a Blood Moon. This cocktail consisted of Moonshine, cranberry juice, ginger ale and ice.

1. It too was delicious and refreshing.
2. Robert mentioned that at a distilling festival, most of the distilleries were serving their products straight.
3. He was making cocktails.
4. He had a long line of people waiting to try the cocktails.
5. When planning to visit Bondurant Brothers Distillery, try to arrive for a tour.

Tours include: learning the history of the Bondurants during Prohibition, a discussion of the moonshine making process and meeting Robert, the grandson of Jack Bondurant from the well-known movie Lawless.

Were the Bondurant real?

The Wettest County in the World – Department of English by Matt Bondurant Based on the true story of Matt Bondurant’s grandfather and two granduncles, The Wettest County in the World is a gripping tale of brotherhood, greed, and murder. The Bondurant Boys were a notorious gang of roughnecks and moonshiners who ran liquor through Franklin County, Virginia, during Prohibition and in the years after.

1. Howard, the eldest brother, is an ox of a man besieged by the horrors he witnessed in the Great War; Forrest, the middle brother, is fierce, mythically indestructible, and the consummate businessman; and Jack, the youngest, has a taste for luxury and a dream to get out of Franklin.
2. Driven and haunted, these men forge a business, fall in love, and struggle to stay afloat as they watch their family die, their father’s business fail, and the world they know crumble beneath the Depression and drought.

White mule, white lightning, firewater, popskull, wild cat, stump whiskey, or rotgut—whatever you called it, Franklin County was awash in moonshine in the 1920s. When Sherwood Anderson, the journalist and author of Winesburg, Ohio, was covering a story there, he christened it the “wettest county in the world.” In the twilight of his career, Anderson finds himself driving along dusty red roads trying to find the Bondurant brothers, piece together the clues linking them to “The Great Franklin County Moonshine Conspiracy,” and break open the silence that shrouds Franklin County.

1. Here is what I know about the movie Lawless.
2. First, it was filmed in the state of Georgia, USA.
3. The people in the church singing are not members of a congregation.
4. They are Sacred Harp singers dressed up.
5. Hugh McGraw, Richard DeLong, and Charlene Wallace are all in that clip.
6. In the clip Hugh has a really long beard which I personally find hilarious.

The directors probably used them because there are a lot of singers near where it was shot. Plus, several of them are involved in acting and some of them are also in the movie Cold Mountain. Anyway, the story takes place in Virginia or West Virginia. I can’t remember which, and I don’t know what religion is depicted in the book, but the main character’s love interest is a preacher’s daughter.

1. So the director needed that element from the book in the movie.
2. Second, many people with German and Quaker/ Mennonite ancestry migrated southwest from Pennsylvania and settled the part of the country where the movie takes place.
3. I personally have Mennonite ancestors who migrated from Pennsylvania to central Tennessee.

Many of these individuals gradually became members of other faiths but kept some of the old traditions. The footwashing depicted in the movie is common among many different denominations, but primarily Primitive Baptist in that part of the country. During the time period depicted in the movie most rural churches were autonomous and few had instrumental music, thus the Sacred Harp tradition accurately depicts common religious practices of the time and place of the movie. non lue, 10 sept.2015, 04:48:59 10/09/2015  Connectez-vous pour répondre à l’auteur Connectez-vous pour transférer le message Vous n’êtes pas autorisé à supprimer des messages dans ce groupe Signaler un message comme constituant un abus Connectez-vous pour signaler le message comme constituant un abus Afficher le message d’origine Soit les adresses e-mail sont anonymes pour ce groupe, soit vous devez disposer de l’autorisation “Afficher les adresses e-mail des membres” pour afficher le message d’origine.

Steven Rowe : Brethren’s chant in the movie “Lawless” ?

Is the moonshine a real place?

CBC’s “lust, legacy and lobster” show Moonshine stays true to Nova Scotia

Moonshine Tuesdays at 9pm on CBC TV Streaming on CBC Gem

D ysfunctional is probably the best way to describe the Finley-Cullen family. It’s a clan that includes five adult half-siblings, each of whom have eccentric personalities and backgrounds that don’t quite mesh well together. Throw in a late aunt’s will that divides up her personal belongings amongst the clan—including a significant chunk of shares in the family-owned ramshackle summer resort on Nova Scotia’s south shore—and there’s no question why there’s a sibling war.

1. In Moonshine, we get front-row seats to this rowdy conflict and drama.
2. It only intensifies when one of the siblings, Lidia Bennett, returns to Nova Scotia after leaving home, getting married and moving away from the province.
3. Once she’s chosen by the aunt to inherit her shares of The Moonshine resort, a bit of chaos—for everyone—ensues.

“I think for Lidia specifically, she’s been away, and she’s had another life somewhere else completely,” says Jennifer Finnigan, who plays the character and might be recognized from The Bold and The Beautiful, “A lot of that involved her being in denial about what her past was, and creating a wall between her and her family.

1. This is her breaking down this wall and trying to prove to them that she can be different, she can be back.
2. She’s relearning not just who she is but who they are.” In Moonshine, it’s not just the relationships between the siblings that’s a point of contention.
3. There’s a large emphasis on the connections each sibling has towards whether or not they’ve left their seaside home and The Moonshine resort.

“It’s a little bit magical, the sort of power that The Moonshine has over the personal relationships and them as individuals,” says Emma Hunter, who plays sibling Nora Finley-Cullen. As a province, Nova Scotia also plays a large role in driving the story and influencing the entire CBC TV series.

Moonshine, which premiered on September 14, aims to stay true to the south shore, with its small-town aesthetic and lineal history. Throughout the show, people might catch glimpses of familiar local businesses or locations such as Hubbards Cove FM radio station and the famed, Moonshine is heavily fictionalized, but it’s still a little autobiographical.

What CBC describes as a “raucous east coast tale of lust, legacy and lobster” was created by screenwriter and director Sheri Elwood, who grew up splitting her time between Ontario and Nova Scotia. Her mother’s home is just nearby the series’ set as well as Hubbards Beach Campground and Cottages which Elwood’s family owns; Elwood also comes from a large family of four other half-siblings and three blood siblings.

“Nova Scotians are so open and so down-to-earth and I just adore them,” says Elwood, who also created, “There’s stuff here that flies that, maybe, a lot of cities did away with 20 years ago. “There’s a lovely, raw time-capsule quality. It’s just so nice to go to a place where it’s not so precious and we can all just be our raw selves against the sea—I would love to live here.” Moonshine ‘s entire crew is local, while nearly all of the cast is Canadian including Anastasia Phillips, Alexander Nunez and Tom Stevens as the other siblings, as well as Corrine Koslo and Peter MacNeill as the parents.

Season one of the series was filmed last summer—when the show was —while season two is currently in production until October. “We’re trying to keep it local,” Elwood says. “We’re trying to keep it all in the family.” : CBC’s “lust, legacy and lobster” show Moonshine stays true to Nova Scotia

What town is moonshine filmed?

Don’t get on the bad side of Moonshine’s family in Hubbards-shot CBC comedy If it looks like the cast members of the new CBC comedy Moonshine are having a blast topping each other with one outrageous deed after another, that’s because they really are.

The new series premiering on Tuesday night at 9 p.m. was filmed in Hubbards and along the South Shore in the waning days of summer in 2020, when the East Coast was enjoying the Atlantic bubble grace period from COVID-19, and feature and series production had ground to a halt nearly everywhere else. Set in a seaside resort called Moonshine in the fictional town of Foxton, the show chronicles the intergenerational squabbles of the Finley-Cullen family as they fight for control of the holiday getaway property that is starting to look a little rough around the edges.

It’s a bit of a romp with clandestine romances, controversial inheritances and a nightly beach bonfire that make the whole thing feel like a vicarious vacation on the small screen, which is pretty much what its creator Sheri Elwood (Call Me Fitz) intended. Call Me Fitz creator Sheri Elwood returns with a new Nova Scotia-shot series, Moonshine, about a dysfunctional family running a declining South Shore Resort. Now in production for its second season, the series will debut on Tuesday, Sept.14 at 9 p.m. on CBC TV and CBC Gem.

Contributed “Part of the inspiration for writing this show was so I could write myself a summer vacation in Nova Scotia, because it’s been a long time since I’ve been back,” says the writer and producer, back on the set of the show for its second season now in production. “It was fantastic, I feel that we really lucked out during the pandemic.

We were one of the first series to go to camera, and we felt so protected. We built our own backlot, and I really did feel like we were in magical, protected fairyland, a summer camp for grownups.” Except the cast members are playing grownups who don’t exactly act grownup.

Jennifer Finnigan (Sanctuary) plays the prodigal daughter Lidia, now an architect in New York City who returns to Moonshine for the first time in years to discover that her recently deceased aunt has left her a share in the property. That doesn’t sit so well with kid sister Rhian (Anastasia Phillips), who has stayed on to look after the upkeep of the resort, which is haphazardly run by aging hippie parents Ken & Bea (Peter MacNeill & Corrine Koslo).

As Lidia’s marriage disintegrates, Rhian plots to sabotage her efforts to bring Moonshine into the 21st century, with a ripple effect that causes chaos throughout the many branches of the Finley-Cullen clan. Jennifer Finnigan stars as Lidia, the prodigal daughter of the Finley-Cullen clan in the new CBC comedy series Moonshine, premiering Tuesday, Sept.14 at 9 p.m. – CBC Finnigan first got a taste of her character just before the start of the pandemic, and was thrilled by the opportunities presented by Elwood’s script as Lidia began digging through the mess of her life and “getting down to the nitty-gritty” of what it’s all about.

• I loved the story of her and her sisters, and I loved this crazy family,” she says.
• I’ve been doing this for a long time, I just want to work on shows that I want to watch, and that I truly enjoy.
• I just wanted to know this family.” As Rhian, Phillips got the chance to play a character unrestrained by period costumes — as per her roles on Reign, Bomb Girls and Murdoch Mysteries — to play the family wild child whose behaviour usually bears no sign of impulse control.

“It was terrifying,” she says of Rhian’s unbridled capacity for fury. “It felt like a freefall, and either it was going to be awful or I was going to tap into something that I feel is true. “I keep saying that the only way I draw from it is when I think about myself as the most awkward 11- or 12-year-old going through puberty, that hasn’t learned who to put any masks on in order to function in the world. The siblings of the Finley-Cullen family struggle to run their aging South Shore resort in the Nova Scotia shot comedy series Moonshine. Pictured from left to right: Anastasia Phillips, Alexander Nunez, Emma Hunter, Tom Stevens and Jennifer Finnigan. – CBC Phillips also drew from her experience as a middle child among three sisters who understands that unique family dysfunction, from a slightly older generation when children were allowed to cut loose and get a few scrapes along the way. The cast of CBC’s new Hubbards-shot comedy Moonshine are fired up for the series premiere on Tuesday, Sept.14 at 9 p.m. – CBC

When she looks out the window of the building that represents the main lodge of Moonshine, she can see her mother’s house not far away, and she’s reminded of why she loves writing about complicated families where not everyone gets along all of the time.So why not set all of that on the East Coast, where those complications can have a remarkable backdrop that doesn’t always get its due on national TV?”One of the reasons that I love this part of Nova Scotia is that is really is riddled with draft dodgers and drug smugglers and people who are maybe meddling in the grey area of what one would consider to be traditional ethics,” says Elwood.

“I really wanted to put a spotlight on that, although the (ethics) part is made up, I had to say that or my mother would be very upset with me. But there are shades of it around, and in the summertime, there really is a spirit of anything goes and this family embodies that, warts and all.” : Don’t get on the bad side of Moonshine’s family in Hubbards-shot CBC comedy

How many episodes is moonshine?

Does moonshine have vodka in it?

Patrick: I spent so much time researching “moonshine” after our call last night that I figured I’d share what I discovered on this blog. So here’s my attempt at answering a few basic questions as we prepare to devise a new line of spirits:

1. How is vodka distinct from “white” whiskey? They’re both clear and unaged, so what’s the actual difference?
2. How are vodka and white whiskey different from “moonshine”? And what is “moonshine” really ? Is it a vodka, a whiskey, or something else entirely?

As pertains to the first question, it seems the difference between vodka and white whiskey boils down to three things: ingredients, oak, and proof, Categorization is basically a function of slight deviations in the production process. Put simply, vodka—unlike whiskey—can be made from a wider range of ingredients, and it doesn’t need to be aged (in oak barrels or otherwise), and it’s distilled at a higher proof.

• Simple enough.
• But why keep it simple? Let’s needlessly delve WAY into this.
• INGREDIENTS The vast majority of well-known vodkas are made from grain.
• But vodka is also popularly distilled from potatoes and fruits,
• Unlike whiskey—the production process and ingredients of which are tightly regulated by law—there are no similar rules dictating or limiting what ingredients vodka distillers have to use.

( In the United States, the Code of Federal Regulations merely defines vodka as “neutral spirits so distilled, or so treated after distillation with charcoal or other materials, as to be without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color”. Sounds um tasty.) By contrast, whiskey distillers’ choices are limited, as whiskey must be distilled from a grain.

1. Sure, you can find off-the-beaten path grains with which to craft your spirits—like quinoa, spelt, oats, etc.—but by legal definition, you can’t distill whiskey from such vodka staples as watermelons, cookies, potatoes, grapes, running shoes, etc.
2. OAK There’s another critical restriction on whiskies.

In addition to being distilled only from grains, a grain spirit MUST “kiss” the inside of an oak barrel if it’s to be qualified as a whiskey. If it doesn’t, the spirit cannot legally be considered whiskey. Instead, it would likely just be classified as a grain-based vodka!

• A quick aside, Patrick it’s worth noting that the “oak barrel” requirement is a phenomenon unique to American and Scottish law. Other countries use the term whiskey to reference spirits aged in barrels made of other types of wood, such as maple or hickory. According to this website, “Canadian whiskey, Irish whiskey, and Japanese whiskey only require that wood barrels are used but don’t specify that oak is the only permissible type.”
• But I digress.

Notably, there’s no requirement for how long whiskey must age in an oak barrel to be considered a whiskey. White (clear) whiskies are merely the result of pouring the distilled alcohol from the still into a barrel taking a deep breath and then immediately pouring it right the fuck back out, to be bottled and sent out into the world.

PROOF There’s one final attribute that distinguishes a spirit as a vodka vs. a whiskey: proof. As long as the spirit coming off the still is at or above 95% alcohol by volume (ABV), and as long as it is then cut with water to no less than 40% ABV when bottled, you’ve got a vodka. That two-part determination is what classifies a spirit as a vodka.

With whiskey, on the other hand, the spirit must be distilled at less than 95% ABV. But just as with vodka, as long as the spirit is then cut with water during the bottling process such that it’s still above 40% ABV when bottled, it’s a whiskey. (From my research, it seems that if you cut a spirit to anything less than 40%, then pursuant to the legal classification, you’re just a lil’ bitch.) TO RECAP : when it comes to proof, the spirit must exceed the 95% ABV threshold during distillation to be a vodka, whereas it cannot exceed the 95% ABV threshold during distillation to be a whiskey.

1. In fact, the same exact corn “vodka” could be called whiskey if it came out at the 95% ABV and was then placed in oak barrels,) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bet.
2. If we know the difference between vodka and white whiskey, then what the fuck is “moonshine”? This was the question that first drove our initial discussion, and it turns out that the confusion stems from the fact that lots of distillers and liquor companies nowadays have elected to use the term “moonshine” incorrectly as a commercial gimmick.

Here’s the bottom line: “Moonshine” is liquor (usually whiskey or rum) made in secret ( a ) without getting the proper state and federal licenses to do so, ( b ) without paying the requisite taxes, and ( c ) without adhering to any of the legal (and safety!) standards governing the production of spirits.

• Another aside here’s an article that conflates the actual definition of moonshine with the more gimmicky modern commercial interpretation of a clear and unaged whiskey.
• “There are lots of products sold today that call themselves moonshine for the sake of nostalgia, tradition, and mystique. But the same product could just as easily be called white whiskey. ” Preach to these liars.

Moonshine purists define the spirit as a homemade, unaged whiskey, marked by its clear color, corn base, and high alcohol content—sometimes peaking as high as 190 proof. Traditionally, it was produced in a homemade still and bottled in a mason jar. And there isn’t much of a difference at all between unaged whiskey and moonshine; they largely have the same production process.

But “moonshine” is distinguished from whiskey by virtue of its illegal nature, rather than being a different type of alcohol. Under this conception, “moonshine” is just a whiskey that hasn’t been taxed and the saga of colonial America’s refusal to pay taxes on its distilling operations is a critical part of our nation’s history that we’ll detail in future posts.

But does moonshine have to be a whiskey ? Nope! Actual moonshine—the stuff you’d buy on the black market if you didn’t want to pay a tax—can be made from any fermentable substrate, from sugar to grain to stone fruit. Whatever clandestine distillers can get their hands on and want to work with (under cover of darkness, by the light of the moon—thus the term) is fair game.

• Recall: Neutral spirits must be at least 95% alcohol coming off the still, whereas whiskey must be distilled to less than 95% ABV.
• By the way, note that the lower the proof at distillation, the more flavorful congeners carry over from the grain to the final spirit.

When it comes to commercial sellers, examine whether the “moonshine” label is proclaiming a whiskey or a vodka. If the label says “neutral spirits,” it’s not whiskey, Is the dead horse sufficiently beaten? Let’s decapitate it for good measure. How does one make moonshine? Answer: illegally.

The recipe is simple— · Corn meal · Sugar · Yeast · Water Sometimes, other ingredients are included to add flavor or kick. (And technically, as I’ve said, though alcohol can be distilled from almost any kind of grain, virtually all moonshine made in the United States for the last 150 years has been made with corn.) The primary aesthetic difference between “moonshine” and the whiskey you buy at the liquor store boils down to aging.

When whiskey comes out of the still, it’s so clear it looks like water—and moonshiners bottle it just like that, There’s no aging process, and that’s what gives whiskey its color and mellows the harsh taste. Moonshine undergoes no such mellowing, which is why it has such a “kick”.

1. So why is distilling alcohol at home illegal in the first place ? “The government cites several reasons for keeping distilling illegal.
2. First, it can be dangerous,
3. Distilleries bring two materials into close proximity – alcohol vapor and heat sources – that can cause disastrous explosions when not managed correctly.

There are also lots of impurities that can lead to all sorts of health problems even death! And cynically, there’s another reason: Federal excise taxes, Distilled spirits are taxed at the highest rate of any alcohol, far more than beer or wine. (A tax on spirits is the very first tax ever levied in the United States!) Naturally, the government is none too keen on surrendering its share of the revenue raised by a Nation filled with alcoholics.

• And so it criminalizes any liquor production into the revenue of which it can’t sink its grubby little fingernails.
• Please admire the grammatically impeccable placement of prepositions in that last sentence.) * * * * * * * * * * * * In summation, New Scotch Spirits will never legally sell any brand of spirit under the “moonshine” moniker.

But catch us back in the woods under cover of a new moon and we might have some New Scotch “Select” to offer you. Shhhhh. I hope this post answers any and all questions we could ever again possibly have on such a stupid subject. I need a drink, and I don’t care whether it’s a vodka, a whiskey, or a moonshine masquerading as both.
