Sip On Moonshine In Downtown Greenville
South Carolina's First Legal Moonshine Micro-Distillery To Open This Summer
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- The first legal moonshine micro-distillery is expected to open on North Main Street in Downtown Greenville in late July.
Dark Corner Distillery is named after a part of Greenville County known as the Dark Corner.
"The Dark Corner was the moonshine capital of Greenville County," said co-owner Joe Fenten.
Fenten grew up in the Dark Corner, in Landrum, S.C.
"As I get older I miss it and I want to revisit, and this is our way of revisiting the Dark Corner, and actually bringing it to downtown Greenville," Fenten said.
Fenten, along with his business partners Richard Wenger and Keith Nelon will be using local recipes and making the moonshine in a traditional copper pot still.
"We're not doing this just to make money off moonshine. We really want people to walk in the door and get hit in the face with a dose of Upcountry lore, Fenten said.
Visitors will be able to sample and purchase the moonshine.
Dark Corner Distillery will also sell T-shirts, food, and crafts

If it's legal its not moonshine. I don't get the big deal about this so what its just some high percent whiskey. Can u just buy normal whiskey and mix with everclear.

/\while I agree on the legality making it not moonshine, there are probably some special recipes from back in the day they obtained from old moonshiners/\
I for one would like to just taste it.
\ /Thanks for the info! \/

"Moonshine" usually refers to white whiskey produced illegally. White whiskey is quite prized among whiskey connoisseurs.
The main difference is that regular whiskeys are aged for several years in wooden barrels, giving them their amber colour.
Some small distilleries are starting to make white whiskey and market it as "moonshine". It is probably pretty close to what prohibition era moonshine was like, except dramatically better.

"moonshine" just means its home-made and un-taxed..made without the govt knowing(during prohibition)... which is why it's illegal...not cuz its a type of liquor that we cant make.. lol

drinking is drinking is drinking is overrated. If you guys get high on nostalgia wait till you try this.
Give me maroon everclear over white whiskey any day. Mix lemon, lime, honey, everclear, and the deepest grape tasting purple bud you can find. Reduce to a eye dropper sized bottle and use as a mixer with some good wine. Walk around a party dropping it in everyone's mixed drinks and on their cigarettes.
Fuck if they really wanted to have a tourist attraction they could purple tincture mixed with Laudenum and Vin Mariani. Im the Louis Pasteur of junkidom(Lenny Bruce). I got alkies on both sides of my fam and it is one of the most destructive drugs with the least recreational value to me. Do u, but try sum tincture and tell me its not better than that backyard copper pipe alcohol with placebo influence.
