Funny thing about that...

He says that he was only going to the bathroom...

... In the hallway of a bowling alley...

Yeah, we can probably just go ahead and note that the likelihood the wife of a sex predator busted for public urination and exposure is very very obsessed about public urination and exposure.

Search for Midnight Moon and Old Smoky to get a basic handle on it. Those are the most common commercial brands.

And read this.

It's been a thing for distillers and liquor industries for well over ten years in America, and while it's not exactly well-known outside of Americana liquor historians and modern distilling, it's a significant share of the market.

And whatever you had was probably not made by a commercial distiller or even someone who knew how to toss the heads and tails correctly, which is why you had that taste. Well-made moonshine is delicious and has tasting notes as specific as any top shelf liquor.

Not knowing about a thing doesn't mean it's not a thing.

Honestly, you saying "I had illegally distilled liquor once and it was Terribad" leads me to the conclusion that you just make poor life decisions. Not that you know anything about alcohol.

... have you had moonshine?

It ain't vodka.

You're using "flavour" not "flavor", so I am going to say you have no idea what moonshine actually tastes like, regardless of whether it was a commercial version of Johnny Red Corn or a snort from an actual still back in the holler.

I mean I suppose you could be Canadian, but you'd be calling it white rye if you were East Coast Canuckistani.

I don't assume I know anything about Scotch, but I do know American moonshine, and when the word is used to describe liquor, they are not talking about potsheen or garage brandy.

So no. Moonshine is not vodka any more than ararak is vodka or raki is vodka or cachaca is vodka.

The flavor is different, the mash ingredients are different, and the cultural taste is very different.

And you'd know that if you'd had any of those and were in a position to taste, had any idea what the distillates tasted like, or had any clue what the actual flavor of those specific distilled spirits are in commerical brands or not.

The only other way you could not discern the difference between moonshine, vodka, cachaca or other distillates like unaged sugar cane rum is if you have no sense of smell or an incredibly weak palate.

Distilled spirits from corn is usually called moonshine.

Distilled spirits from sugarcane? Rum.

I get where you're coming from, though the flavor profiles are substantially different from a 100% rye grain mash vodka or a hard northern wheat vodka, and most people can tell a sugarcane vodka from a rye vodka.

Yes. You can make coconut wine and banana brandy if the starter mash has enough sugar content to ferment properly.

I have had banana whiskey.

I truly do not recommend it.

... I don't think women give much of a shit what your character looks like in a game.

I played an undead female warlock in WoW whose jaw was missing.

If a woman looked at that and thought to herself, "perv, why is MaleficentPi playing a female warlock, must be some kind of super gross dude with a thing for female characters" I'd have questions about why she's assuming a man she never met would find a rotting female corpse with no lower jaw sexy AF.

Night elf, sure. Orc, maybe. Troll, okay.. Dwarf, sure.

But an undead warlock?

Methinks the lady doth project too much
