I enjoyed the peppermint flavored moonshine that I recieved as a gift for Christmas...don't know if that helps
I was an adult before I knew that Schnapps came in flavors other than peppermint. Given my bad holiday experiences with it in my teen years, I'm sure that knowledge is in my suppressed memory...
Currently living in the rural Appalachians, I'd say the moonshine fad is exactly that - a FAD. If it isn't produced on the sly in hidden stills, with the risk of REAL prison time, it just isn't really "moonshine." Once "Moonshiners" or "Tickle" or whatever shows are fashionable right now die off, the market for mass produced legal "moonshine" will likely vanish. The REAL stuff, produced in the woods and hills and mountains will always have its place, but by definition, will never be mass produced or "marketed."
I wouldnt say that. Plenty of room in this business for those who want in. People like alcohol......Give a good story, name, and something drinkable and it will sell....
Last October I went to the Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville, GA. KARE For Kids Mountain Moonshine Festival ~ Dawsonville, Georgia Just happened to be nearby and saw something online about the fest so we drove over to check it out. While there were no samples, there was an amazing array of old moonshiner's cars (mostly 30's Ford V8's) along with a huge assortment of original NASCAR racers from the 50's-80's There were a few examples of stills also, obviously old stuff brought out of the woods at some point. It was mostly just a street fair There was one liquor store in town that had probably every legal kind of moonshine for sale. There was a lot more than I knew about. Brands and flavors I had never heard of. I was surprised since our local Total Wine has a huge assortment of shine. If you do a bit of homework you can probably find out about all the different brands/flavors out there. That tells me that distribution must be difficult (ironic isn't it?) for the legal moonshine. I wonder if the distribution difficulties are linked to supply/demand or some other factor. Given what my local Total Wine carries I would guess that the demand is meager compared to other spirits, but what do I know, I'm just a printing salesman. By the way I agree with David_S, if it's legal it ain't real shine. My favorite is good ol' Appalachian apple pie. Can't tell you where I get it but it's good stuff. A little dab will do ya....
I picked up some kind of applepie flavored moonshine at the liquor store recently. Not really bad nice for sipping chilled. Yes I know its fake moonshine bought it more as a goof.
I hear ya but the moonshine I was gifted was much, much better than Schnapps. I was told by the gifter that she threw a few candy canes in a blender and then dumped the contents in the moonshine. The flavor was actually pretty subtle.
Got this as a gift and it's D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S! Starts off as, "WOW! This tastes just like apple pie", then all of a sudden, WHAM!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have had the Ol' Smokey and the Backwoods brands, but I prefer the Midnight Moon. Supposedly Midnight Moon is made from the family recipe used by Junior Johnson's family when they were running moonshine all over the south before he became a NASCAR driver.
