This moonshine is guaranteed to be cleaner and more smooth than any store bought aged whiskey. It has been hand crafted in micro batches to higher standards than conventional commercial distilleries. It is great straight, on the rocks, or in mixed drinks. And because it is homemade and black market, you can drink with a clear conscience that your money has not gone to fund war, death, or oppression of any kind.
It has been distilled four times from a neutral wash of sugar, water, and yeast. Most commercial distillers collect whats called the "middle third cut", discarding the first and last third of the distillate which contain contaminates. This moonshine has been cut according to the "middle fifth cut", keeping only the very heart of the run for the cleanest and smoothest tasting alcohol.
It is then put through a several weeks activated carbon filtration process which removes any remaining contaminates. This accomplishes in a few weeks what years of barrel aging never completely does, which is to remove the "bite" of the alcohol. The final product is a surprisingly smooth and utterly clean drink that will leave you with no hangover (other than the
effects of dehydration).
I sell it like I drink it, 100 proof.

So, you and the TV "Moonshiners" has me confused. I thought that Moonshine was supposed to be "White Lightning" and as close to 200 proof as possible?

200 proof alcohol is impossible outside of a vacuum. Above about 96% it dilute itself with moisture from the atmosphere. My still runs about 180 proof which is quite high for a pot still. I dilute with distilled water to 100 proof for two reasons. Above 100 proof the activated carbon treatment I put it through which removes all of the impurities that give a whiskey its "bite" won't work properly. In fact, the alcohol is such a solvent at higher proofs that it will actually strip impurities out of the carbon instead of the carbon removing impurities from the alcohol. Secondly, alcohol is so corrosive in higher proofs that it can actually damage your esophagus. I was making and drinking 150 proof for a while and drinking it straight. I started having really bad sore throats. After switching to 100 proof the sore throats went away. So I've settled on 100 proof as what I drink and sell. It just tastes the best.
