I saw this in the liquor store here in Asheville NC.

Two years ago I toured Makers Mark.

Makers Mark makes moonshine, a thousand gallons at a time. 100+proof corn liquor. Then they age it in oak barrels for 7 years, ageing is what is so expensive. Makers Mark probably makes one quart of moonshine for a cost of 25 cents.

  Revenuers only want the bad corn whisky off the street. Good corn whisky is kept secret

  use to buy quarts of home made shine made from potatoes from and old gentleman a lady at work knew. was 10 dollars a quart, as the word got out, it was some of the smoothest shine I have ever drank, no gasoline burn on the backside, He raised the price when it got to 40 dollars a quart I thought to myself I could buy a bottle of good whiskey at the store for less than that. last I heard it was 50 bucks a quart!!!!!!!!!

  Templeton Rye, and no, not the crap made in Indiana. This was distilled about 15 miles west of Templton IA. near Aspinwall IA. Unfortunately the craftsman who bottled this has passed on, so it is to be no more.
