The program was good on how distilleries work and the differences between types of distilled beverages, including bourbon, wine/grape based drinks, tennessee wiskey, tiquila, gin, others, and (my choice) Scotch. Generally, each is made out of different bases. It also covers the history of how and why various ones were made and their intertwined history. It is VERY interesting and I would recommend one watching it next time around.

It even urged/inspired/tempted me to restock my supplies, which should last me several months.

As for moonshine, I've tried a few (including the one LEGAL brand-> "Georgia Moonshine"), but am and will remain weary of most. My father's uncle got hold of some bad shine and went blind back in the 50s. I'd rather not take my chances, unless I am ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT in its source. The legal one tastes very much like corn. The others have varied drastically, with the best tasting like a sweeted single malt scotch.

Historically, and reiterated in the program, homemade whisky is DIRECTLY tied to scotch, especially that which was evading revenuers there, as well as here. It drew arms as well, ever heard of the "Whiskey Rebellion" (put down by Gen. Washington)?
