I had no provenance on my sampling. But there were many OG types in attendance and it was the real deal. Long before TV shows about it, pie flavors, all that stuff.
It was potent. And smooth which is why I was able to down enough to do that with. Everclear is just fire next to that, on your tongue. You could sip this stuff. They didn’t tell me what it was, just handed me the bottle and I didn’t sip.
Ever heard of an annual thing call the Good Time Boogie which was a NC based weekend long party? I suppose you might call them a red neck slash hippie crowd at the time. I was at the first two.
I moved away but heard years later that it had rolled on for a pretty long time so maybe some people know about it. This was like, 1975 probably. I was but a young pup, up for about anything. It was like a mini redneck woodstock. The rednecks brought the shine. Multiple hogs were cooked. Much depravity. Which I was too young and innocent for.
And all peaceful despite all that alcohol. Try that today.
