Rippy's Smokin' Bar & Grill on Broadway maybe? I think I saw it in there [Wild Turkey weekend].
Best way to experience moonshine is to go all day without eating anything. Pour you about 2 ounces of White and dump it straight down yer gullet. Then make sure you are sitting down and do 2 more quickly before you realize yer tastebuds are burned off [not too fast or you'll kill yourself]. Then hold on because you are about to have your ass kicked. If you're at Printers Alley make sure you have a somewhat sober friend with you or chances are you'll wake up a day later in the Hill Detention Center on 2nd Avenue face down on a concrete floor wondering what the hell was that where is my brain. |

Whiskey Bent Saloon. Swimming with predatory women after one thing (yours). Heck, they might just rip yer clothes off before you get set down. If you cant pick up a chick in there, there is something bad wrong w/you.
Next day, if you can still walk, go down to Cool Springs Harley Davidson and rent a Electra Glide and ride it down through the rolling green TN hills to Lynchburg and tour the Jack Daniels Distillery. Cut back through Murfreesboro and tour the Stones River Civil War battlefield where there were 25,000 casualties in that one single battle. Heck, there's lots to do around here... depends on what you like to do. [PS I edited that first post - dont do shots that fast with 180 proof moonshine - you will kill yourself if yer not used to it - I'm not joking  - even though I doubt you'll find that in a bar LOL.]

Its not the first legal moonshine, but I think they have the biggest still of the shine makers. There is a place in Culpeper, Va thats makes some called Virginia Lightning that is very good(100 proof).

You'll need to go to Tootsie's for a drink and live music. Pretty hot bartenders as well.
BBKings usually has a decent house band. Keep your eyes peeled as you may walk into a country music celebrity (met Winona Judd there one night). |

yellowhammer is right, pure white lightning will kick your @ss. first time i tried it i was a 17 year old punk in the 70's. got it from an old pop-eyed alabama hillbilly bootlegger in a quart mason jar. i swallowed 2 big slugs in a row. there is a delayed reaction of about 10 minutes with moonshine where you are mainly concerned with the loss of the inner lining of your mouth and esophagus - then as soon as you get your breath - BOOM - it hits you like a mule kick to the back of the head. the un-initiated will usually swig too much and pass right out - followed by a puking spree. I never will drink un-cut moonshine again - you can definitley kill yourself.
ps: down here in the northeast alabama appalachian mts in the depression era there was very little work - most people were of scotch/irish decent and traditionally knew how to make it for self consumption, and went into the business to feed their families. my grandmother said after dark you would see tractor/trailer rigs with chicago plates going in and out of every holler in the area loaded w/hooch from the local stills. imagine not even worrying about the truck lic plates that far from chicago - there was a clear route back to illinois greased with al capones protection. my great-grandfather spent a year and a day in kilby prison in montgomery for making it - a serious proposition in the 20's/30's. my wife's grandfather also paid his dues at the tn st pen in nashv. once while looking over a booth in a flea market, the proprietor, an old man who looked 100 yrs old to me, recognized my dad, and pulled me aside and said " son, your great grandpappy made the best whiskey i ever drank". LOL what an era. |

My dad was a little kid in eastern TN during prohibition. He said at night you could see the mountain sides dotted with campfires from moonshine stills and the whole country side smelled like a bakery from the mash cooking off.

When I was a ute we used to drive across the line to MS and patronize Johnny's Smokehouse.
Cold beer and smoked mullet. 
One night one of the group ran into an acquaintance who had some shine. Topped off a belly full of Jax with Who Hit John. On the way home he decorated the driver's (parent's) car- thank God not mine! Since it isn't aged in charred barrels, I'd guess it has all of the kick and none of the taste of good bourbon. |

The 5 quarts of clear will be stashed in the closet. Brought out for camping and celebration only (along with my stash of 45th and 80th Padrons). Good on you for giving your uncle some corn.

It doesn't "burn" you one the way down, but it does warm your belly. Definitely a different flavor than bourbon. You don't "drink", you "sip"it. |

My dad says to get the best you even leave out the yeast and use only malted corn the natural way - sure you'll have some waste, but the old timers, after running their sugared/yeasted/beading-oil runs for sale to the yankees, made their own stash from pure malted corn w/no additives. by the way, an interesting read is the chapter "moonshining as a fine art" in the 1st Foxfire book: link . All the old-time moonshiners, my dad and grandmother (passed away, sniff)) included, that i have talked with say whoever complied that knew what they were talking about - every detail on still construction and mash preparation in that book is 100% authentic and obviously came word-of-mouth from the real-deal appalachian moonshiners of that period. |

Without the yeast, how does the sugar convert to alcohol? Maybe they rely on the same process that (essentially) ferments fruit that falls off the tree? |

Kinda like boiling your ribs before putting them on the grill. You'd be better off driving to Gatlinburg and buying a jar of the Ole Smokey Distillery White Lightning...at least it's an 80% corn mix. You won't find many, if any, commerical distilleries using all corn mash. Costs too much on top of exhorbitant federal taxes they have to pay. Speaking of Ol' Smokey Distillery, their Apple Pie shine is just too sweet. Furthermore, the alcohol content is neglible (40proof). I'd be willing to bet MBR's will be the same. |

Mix remaining ingredients and add two sticks into each Qt jar. Give it a week to develop. That's what I'm talking about. My recipe is different, but the concept is the same. Tips: Don't use cinnamon sticks as the flavor isn't strong enough...which is why your recipe calls for apple cider that would add cinnamon to the mix. Ground cinnamon, once boiled in the mix, is rehydrated, which opens up the flavors. Don't add your boiling mix until you can hold your finger in the mix for a 5 count. Alcohol evaporation temp is dependent on a number of factors, you add your hot mix too soon and you evaporate a bunch of ethanol. Apple juice used should be 100% apple juice with no sugar/flavors added. Generally speaking, a couple days in the fridge is all thats required for the flavors to meld. A tiny bit of vanilla extract in the mix can lessen the bite of strong Apple Pie (50/50 mix or better). Women tend to like the 60 proof versions, whereas most men will drink the 80 proof all day long. |

I've made apple pie with some of the Ole' Smokey White Lightning. It's ok. Next time you go, get more than 2 jars (it is kinda pricey there) and I'll shoot you a recipe for pie. The lady at Ole Smoky told me that they gave out the recipes for apple pie if you bought their White Lightning. Like a dumbass I didn't buy it during that visit (because I was going hiking and I figured having a jar of moonshine in my backpack would be too heavy). So when I went back (after hiking) and bought my two jars I forgot to ask her for the recipes. May have to take you up on the recipe next time I am down there.

I was in a laboratory one time and was suprised to see they had a bottle of Everclear in the fridge. Apparently, it's a good source for lab grade ethanol as well. that 190 proof everclear must be some serious mind-bending fluid - they say mixed w/distilled water and drunk it does not cause a hangover - a myth (never tried it - scared of it)? you can buy it here in tn, but across the border in va i heard it's illegal to sell it - is that true? |
