The Mountains of Western NC is known for Moonshine,
Cherry & Peach Smash some of my favorites over the years.
Never made any myself but it's not hard to find. I came here to learn Mountain medicine the Herbal meds of the Mountains I
learned about from my Grandmother way back.
Back in 78 this ( Western NC ) was a paradise for anyone searching knowledge about Herbal Medicine here in the US.
I got my first sip of shine after walking up a trail to meet a granny Woman about some Golden seal & Ginseng root.
When a tall hairy big long beard mountain man stepped out with a long double barreled 12 gauge shotgun and asked me
who the ell I was. I do not have an accent especially a southern accent so it was touch & go until Granny got involved.
Long story short I got to taste some mighty fine Shine & could not remember to this day where in the ell I was & how to get back again.
