MoonShine
Just like in the 1920's, in current day we also have bootleggers. Current day bootleggers manufacture, transport or sell moonshine. Moonshine is illegally distilled homemade whisky, with usually a very high alcohol content. It got its name because it was normally distilled at night by the light of the moon. Most moonshine is distilled in Virginia and Kentucky.
Names of the trade
Some of the famous name in moonshining is Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton. Popcorn is one of the last known real moonshiners. In his time Marvin was well known by media due to being featured on shows and other things. He had also wrote a book and produced a video about what he did. Also, Sutton has been one of the only moonshiners that has moonshined for something other then money. Another big name in moonshine is Tim Smith. Tim has recently just got a label contract with a big investor who is helping him to go legal with his moonshine. Tim is featured on the discovery channel show "Moonshiners" where they follow the process of the men making moonshine.
