Description

” When the primary American tax on distilled spirits was once established in 1791, violence broke out in Pennsylvania. The resulting Whiskey Riot sent hundreds of families down the Ohio River by flatboat, stills on board, to settle anew within 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 within the state. That is the tale of the illicit side―the moonshiners’ craft and craftsmanship, as practiced in Kentucky. A word list of moonshiner argot sheds light on such colorful terms as “puker,” “slop,” and “weed-monkey.” David Maurer’s tone is tongue-in-cheek, but he provides a realistic have a look at the Kentucky moonshiner and the moonshining industry.
