Description

Kentucky Moonshine by David W.Maurer.

This book charts the story of the illicit side - the moonshiners' craft and craftsmanship, as practised in Kentucky. When the first American tax on distilled spirits was established in 1791, violence broke out in Pennsylvania.

The resulting Whiskey Rebellion sent hundreds of families down the Ohio River by flatboat, stills on board, to settle anew in the fertile bottomlands of Kentucky.

Here they used cold limestone spring water to make bourbon and found that corn produced even better yields of whiskey than rye. Thus, the licit and illicit branches of the distilling industry grew up side-by-side in the state.

Chapters include:

Let's Make Moonshine

The History Of Moonshining

The Production of Whiskey

The Geography of Moonshining

Money, Materials, and Equipment

Moonshining as an Industry

Law Enforcement

The Argot of the Craft
