Man-O-man I haven't had any "Tadder Shine" since I was in the USMC!!!! Tastes like crap but man it will get you drunk FAST, and at $5 a gallon you can't go wrong!!!!! LOL
 

Guess whats in the stills!!!!

I have to confess these are not my ancestors they are my wifes, the dark guy with the glasses on is her grandfather. He was half Choctaw I will try and post a picture of her gt grandma who was a Choctaw medicine woman. They were from Pyle mountain in Oklahoma. my wife is just finishing a book that her dad almost had finished before he died, so she has been going through the old pictures he had set aside for the book. In the book he went into detail about how they would run the shine.

:coffee2: Gary

This is the old guys mother, Choctaw medicine woman, The picture was drawn by my wifes dad. In his book he writes about how she liked whiskey and would stop him from having asthma attacks by putting herbs in a bag around his neck.

I was told not too long ago, that if anyone not too far from here was making any
shine, which they wouldn't do because it's illegal, you know, it would cost about
$60 dollars a gallon. About twenty years ago there was a place where you would
drive down this dirt road, and there was this magic tree stump down there. You
pull up & the stump was on the right with a rock on it, if you put a $20 dollar bill
under that rock & drove down around the bend to turn around, when you came
back, that magic stump had turned that $20 into a gallon of 'corn squeezins'.
I never saw nothin like it & never saw anyone around. It had to be magic cause
I'm certain the good folks in that area would never do anything illegal.
:tongue3:
 

They still make moonshine in Madison, North Carolina.

I got two bottles a few days ago actually. It is around 80 proof so it doesn't burn like most moonshine but its still plenty strong enough.

They also distill it three times and it is very smooth and easy to drink.
