The history of moonshine in Missouri is long and storied. Moonshine has been produced in the state since the early 1800s, and it has been an important part of the state’s economy and culture ever since. Missouri’s moonshine industry began in the early 1800s, when settlers from Kentucky and Tennessee brought their stills to the state. Moonshine production quickly spread throughout Missouri, and by the mid-19th century, the state was one of the leading producers of illicit whiskey in the country. Moonshine production continued to flourish in Missouri during the Prohibition era, when the state became a hub for bootlegging operations. Missouri’s moonshiners were some of the most skilled in the country, and they were able to produce high-quality whiskey that was in high demand.

Moonshine is a clear, unaged alcohol, that has a high alcohol content typically made with corn mash and sugar. It’s usually distilled in a home still which means “production” is in some far-out, hard-to-find thicket or woodsy area with running water far from the prying eyes of law enforcement. Moonshine has a long history in the United States, dating back to the days of Prohibition and it’s still a punishable offense, hence the cryptic production “venues”. There are many different flavors of moonshine, including: – Apple Pie – Honey – Peach – Cherry – Cinnamon – Chocolate

Moonshine is a type of alcohol that is made illegally. It is often made in homemade stills and is not taxed. In Missouri, moonshine is more common in rural areas. It can be found in some bars, but it is more likely to be found in liquor stores.
