It smells of caramel. Very sweet, like Southern Comfort.

It would make a milk shake or coffee incredible.

I tried it as a shot, the caramel flavor is strong and sweet.

It made a coke caramel flavored.

It's most definitely a Liqueur.

Hard core whiskey drinkers will HATE it.

Looks awesome!

But I don't know that I'd call something only 80 proof "moonshine"...

Most real moonshine was less than 80 proof, the manufacturing conditions did not accommodate making it higher. And the bootleggers had no incentive for it to be higher, which would have required distilling it twice. Some people confused harsh taste with higher alcohol content.

Salted caramel is the "in" flavor for this decade. I drew the line at a "salted caramel filling" donut. Too much of a good thing.

For the real thing, try salted caramels from Béquet Confections of Montana.

I dunno.. The first run out of my still comes out at 125..

Either way, I find the term "moonshine" to have been commercialized, and typically brings to mind such things as ever clear and white lightning.

My grandfather was a moonshiner, made stills and got caught twice.

I have all his photos, articles of his trials from the paper and memorabilia.

The last still he built was during WWII with the help of German POW's at the air base where he worked repairing aircraft radiators.

I second this, with the follow on that they go well with Roughstock Whiskey distilled in the same town.

Made a trip to Billings for the museum while visiting family in Great Falls, the distillery was a required side trip because their distribution isn't the strongest. Caramels, in a multitude of flavors, was a happy accident. Warning, they sell five pound bags (pick your flavors) over the internet.

The opinions expressed in no way reflect the stance or opinion of my employer.

I knew a moonshiner who triple distilled his product using a packed column still. Folks paid extra for his "whiskey" because it was so good.

That lets me out, I guess. My idea of a good whiskey is one that won't immediately melt the hide off a 'possum.

I'm a beer drinker, but I do keep a bottle of Maker's Mark in the cupboard for special occasions.

That's the type of action that would be required on yesteryear's traditional non-tax paid liquor to increase the proof.
