It was homemade liquor, some historians say, that played a role in the stone's first flawed setting.

Now Derek

EVERONE knows there's NEVER been any "White Liquor" made in them North Georgia mountains (BIG grin). That's what we get for letting a math teacher from the University of Georgia do the "ciphering".

That stuff looks like it would take the enamel off your teeth. I have (many years ago) tasted some real "corn likker" made in the mountains. BUT I knew the fellow who made it and that it was REAL corn likker. Now I'll stick with bonded whiskey.

Is that Junior Johnson's brand?

I've never been a fan of corn liquor. It has no taste just burn.

Now there is some other stuff they make up in those mountains of N GA that is quite tasty. It is greener in color and skunkier in smell. Back in the day I had a friend named Bubba that... oh nevermind.

Back to the story, I have visited the Camak Stone. I had no idea that it had been removed. I guess I saw it back in the late 90s or so.

Everyone should keep about 20 gallons of that stuff around for emergency fuel. A taste test should be done frequently. That would make sure that your emergency stash has not gone bad and needs replacing.

I had some Swedish moonshine on New Years. We spent the holidays with my wife’s family in Denmark and took a trip to her cousin’s cabin in Sweden. The neighbor, who lives about a km away, brought us a 5 litter jug of his stuff. Smooth but no real taste. I was told that due to the high taxes on alcohol, the Swedes have one of the lost consumptions rates in Europe, but use an insane amount of sugar per capita.
