I'm thinking you are describing real moonshine there. but much of the pleasure comes with the experience. i was sitting next to a gentleman well into his 80's at an outdoor bluegrass festival. he turned to me and said "son, are you thirsty" (i'm 50, and almost totally gray). when i said "yes sir", he poured me a dixie cup full of moonshine from a ball jar in a paper bag and we sipped together for the rest of the set. I've had a different view of moonshine ever since.
