It would have been nice, while writing a piece correcting a journalist's error, not to introduce additional confusion into the public record myself.<br /><br />Anonymous ~ "Fresh shine is a breed of its own and will never be bought off a shelf." You stole the words right out of my mouth. I couldn't agree more. And while I would encourage anyone in the vicinity to try some Tennessee moonshine, I would be remiss not to mention the stellar examples available in San Diego, Kansas City, Portland, Manhattan, New Orleans, and other points around the US. Good moonshine is very Tennessee — but that's not the only place one can find it.Matthew Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613982533349459637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-32808877779421990542012-01-08T23:08:31.259-08:002012-01-08T23:08:31.259-08:00I was born and raised in TN.

I personally never heard of him until October of last year I was also 18 when he died! But if everyone is so curious about shine they should come on down and grab some real shine , the wild whiskey doesn't compare to shine. Its smooth and strong compared to other store bought liqour. But nothing compares to the real deal lightning on a hot tn summer night!

Sometimes I see people mix the "DSP" (registry number) with the "permit number" that has the state ID as you have, but we are "permit number TN-S-15007," but our registry number is DSP-TN-15009. Emailing it now.

I was chatting with Max this morning about "that show" — there may be an expletive missing here — when I was accused of going soft for being so kind in my description of it. Well...maybe. The problems with "Moonshiners" are more substantial than just picking fly shit out of pepper, but some misunderstandings about Sutton's whiskey was the focus of this piece. Flat-out hoaxes are for another day. <br /><br />Speaking of misunderstandings: the TTB lists Short Mountain as TN-S-15007. Lord knows, I believe every distiller in this country knows his or her DSP number by heart. It's a Friday and California is three hours behind most folks who can resolve this, but lemme see what I can do. Thanks for heads up. I don't always write about moonshine, but when I do, I like to have my facts straight.<br /><br />As for what the conversation could've been that led to that statement...perhaps it's related to there being no "moonshine" standard of identity in the Beverage Alcohol Manual (Wallbanger and Pink Squirrel? Yes. Moonshine? No. Go figure.) But that's just supposition.Matthew Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00613982533349459637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101223716619464303.post-78565051908151093842012-01-06T09:30:41.838-08:002012-01-06T09:30:41.838-08:00Actually, we're DSP-TN-15009 (Short Mountain D...Actually, we're DSP-TN-15009 (Short Mountain Distillery). I accidentally commented on an older post someone shared with me, but I wrote a very similar post and was struck by the very same quote by Pam Sutton as you. It's surprising to imagine the conversation someone must have had with Pam to convince her they had to call it somethnig other than what it is: moonshine.Christianhttp://www.christiangrantham.com/2012/01/white-whiskey-vs-moonshine-the-tale-of-popcorn-sutton/noreply@blogger.com
