I've had good shine from both.
And rotgut crap that literally gave me a sore throat.

A WWII vet friend sourced the VA stuff.
A truck driver, he befriended a black family that made a bit.
When the needed jugs or jars, he was able to help them out.
For years they gave him a few gallon as a thank you.

Good stuff. Went down smooth, made your belly glow.

The Hillbilly stuff came from the hollows of Morgntown.
Again good stuff. That contact died too.

All I can get now is local.
And not remotely worth the money.
People drink it because it's shine.
Big bad wannabe hillbilly types.

Can get decent legal hooch that's better and cheaper.


Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
