What Is Moonshine

Oct 23, 2024

How did Moonshine get its name? There are two ways of saying it:

1. The English Malt Tax of 1725 seriously threatened the production of whisky, leading the majority of Scottish distilleries to head underground and begin production at night, giving whisky one of its finest nicknames: MOONSHINE

2. The origin is related to the whiskey tax imposed by the government after the American Revolutionary War ‌. Many mountain people began to hide in the mountains, brewing and distilling whiskey in the moonlight, and selling it illegally under the name "moonshine". 

It represents the spirit of rebellion and freedom in American folk culture
