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

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.
