Isn't that kind of missing the point?

(20,176 posts)The corn-mash liquor produced from such stills is identical to that produced by the same stills 20 years ago when it was not-possible (not that any of the 'shiners I knew would have gotten one if it were possible) to get licensing for a small-batch commercial corn-mash liquor distillery and it really was moonshine.
It's sold in liquor stores as moonshine (one brand sold is "White Lightning" which was also a euphemism for moonshine), but...yes, if they wanted to be precise, it's un-aged corn-whiskey, applejack or peachjack depending on the source of the fermenting sugars...and the output of the unlicensed small-batch potato-vodka distillation two chemist friends of mine set up in an unused dorm-room in college was moonshine vodka.

If there's no trouble with the law, it's just hard liquor...
