Why So Many People Love Moonshine


Hundreds of years ago, people were in love with moonshine and that love has not decreased over time.  Though the interest in drinking alcohol had diminished somewhat following the Prohibition, it seems that in recent years the interest and love for moonshine is experiencing a spectacular comeback.  This impressive interest in Moonshine is not limited to southerners either, rather it seems that every Tom, Dick and Harry, and their mommas too find pleasure in drinking Tennessee Moonshine.  So people ask why do so many people love moonshine and what exactly makes it all so inviting and alluring?

A Bit Of a Rebellion of Sorts

It’s goes without saying that the popularity of moonshine has much to do with its very illegal, unlawful past history.  Many people love moonshine simply because they find it exciting to engage in illegal behaviors and certainly making moonshine is one of those favored and much talked about behaviors.  It’s much like drinking and savoring the taste and effects of a forbidden pleasure.  These very people enjoy moonshine because it boasts with a combined toughness in taste and coolness in blend that no other whiskey or bourbon can remotely present with. 

A True American Tradition and Product

Nowadays, many Americans have a deep appreciation for those products that are made right here in America.  People tend to display a true dedication to artisans.  When people here in our country buy moonshine made in small batches at distilleries and not the factory made products, they feel they have contributed and supported the success of the small artisans.  The fell they have acquired hooch prepared in small batches that tastes far better than the factory made stuff.  You may ask why they feel this way.  The reason why is simple.  The smaller batches made in distilleries are made with a great deal of care, attention and expertise. 

The recipes that are used in most, if not all distilleries, and certainly in our highly reputable Short Mountain Distillery, are passed down from generation to generation.  It is truly superior quality and top-rated taste in a jar which is why so many Americans truly love their hooch.  People consider moonshine to be a real, authentic American drink that is unmatched in its quality, taste, and performance which is why so many people love moonshine.  People tend to feel as though they are getting a unique taste of history and tradition all stored neatly and tastefully in a jar and experienced with every single sip.  

You Can Drink It Any Way you Please

Because moonshine is so versatile and diverse, allowing people to drink it chilled, straight up, on ice, in a cocktail or with a mix of many sorts, it is typically a drink that suits every person’s taste and individual desires.  This versatility is one of the primary reasons why so many people simply love moonshine.  You can truly enjoy moonshine in nearly every type of drink mixture and find every bit of pleasure in drinking it whether alone or with friends.  Whether you take intense pleasure in drinking it straight up, or you delight in the fruity taste of mixing it with a special moonshine mixture, or even cherish the smooth taste of it in your favorite mixed drink, you are apt, like so many others, to find unique pleasure in your drinking experience and surely in the spectacular taste it affords you altogether. 

An Incredibly Unique Drinking and Taste Experience

People who drink moonshine don’t just drink it to get themselves crocked or drunk beyond control, but rather they want to be a part of a unique drinking experience that so many people are talking about.  When gathered together with a group of friends, many times at concerts especially, there is something not only exciting, but bonding about passing around a strong jar of hooch from friend to friend either before you go into the concert, during the concert, or even when the concert is over.  The experience itself in this scenario and the idea of bonding with friends with a superior tasting jar of hooch is nothing like sharing a bottle of wine or a case of beer.  The experience is truly unique and even historical in the eyes of its participants and a memory in the making worth remembering years down the road. 

Why Not Give It a Try

If you have not yet given yourself the pleasure of this one of a kind drinking and bonding experience then don’t waste a moment longer.  All of those who have experienced the spectacular taste of moonshine and the warm camaraderie that it can afford friends, admit that not only is the taste well worth the experience but surely the unique sense of “tough guy” you get from drinking authentic Tennessee Moonshine just can’t be matched.  There is something so exciting, rewarding, and even rebellious to a degree, about drinking this authentic liquor that will most definitely make you want to go back for more.
