Thanks for confessing your early life indulgences! And I’ll bet those Lucky Strikes were unfiltered — my dad’s were! Appreciate the link. Going there now. Bourbon is another Tennessee pride product, but not as much as it is in Kentucky where we’ve taken a partial tour of their Bourbon Trail. Oh, my. The South.

My first taste of moonshine was a little snort that I had with my father-in-law. He, like me, was a bourbon man, but when it comes to libations, one must keep an open mind. My grandfather was also partial to shine, but he was so busy smokin’ Lucky Strikes and drinkin’ it, that I didn’t get to sample his brand. If you want to hear what an expert has to say about the history of distilled spirits (particularly bourbon), read a few posts by a friend of ours. Dianne wrote her master’s thesis on bourbon, and she knows more about the subject than anyone I know.

You could be right. Especially if they drank much of it!! Thanks for reading, Valentina!

And that’s the reason I’ve never tried any! Too many reports like yours stand in the way! Thanks for reading. I’ll try to write on more palatable subjects in the coming weeks!!

Tried some moonshine when we were in Tennessee. Took the back of my throat out!

Thanks. I’m still getting my head around the fact that moonshine is legal and has storefronts and all the goods for sale. Never thought it would happen!

Thanks so much! It just came to me when I saw that t-shirt again.
