+Jason Rogers In recent years licensing requirements have been relaxed. But they will always make "illegal" moonshine. Recipes have been passed down that pre-date the Revolutionary War. The problem the government has with "illegal" liquor is that they cant collect taxes on it.
I live in the Smokey Mountains (Tennessee). If you didn't buy it off the back of a pick-up in a mason jar from a guy with three to seven teeth, it ain't moon shine. I reckon that's the best shine they can get over yonder in Ireland. Bless their hearts.
I know all of us down here in the southern Appalachians came from Scots Irish but I think we are tougher......I mean we successfully kicked England out of our country..... they didn't.....just saying.....it may be reflected in our tolerance to high test alcohol.
@@_TheOgre_ no the point is we have good shine.....but when you get commercial legal shine you get a sub par , weak, often overly sweetened and flavored quasi-shine, liquid stereotype, tourist liquor...... the good stuff is fairly difficult to get and you have to know people......its made by people that are not lightweights to be consumed by people that are not lightweights........commercial shine is made to be kitschy.... so that people passing through from vacation in Florida on their way back to Connecticut can say they drank moonshine.......
you have not had a proper American moon shine experience till you buy a gallon of shine in a poland springs water jug off of a toothless man. 180 proof will make you have fond memories of your dead relatives who are still technically alive.
Luis Ramos you gotta come to the southern states where the mountain men are. Not California dude. They drink fruity drinks in Cali. Don’t tell a mountain man you’re from Cali either. They’ll call you a queer.
This lady sitting with the man in the Michigan sweater was adorable and priceless, and for some reason I get the feeling he has tried moonshine before.
usually how it happens, my family say I sound posh as fuck when I'm sober, then I get a few whiskeys in me and like a switch flips on in my brain, and proper northern accent comes out lmfao
Yes, but the irish practically invented alcoholism. Kids enter primary school after they´ re done with their first rehab and the national dish is ethanol.
@Toasted Cheeseburger It's only brutal if they don't care about what they are making..Its like weed where I live in VA if it ain't smooth and taste good ..start a fire with it.. Because it ain't worth a shit..
Well, the first round already blew out their taste buds. By the forth round, they didn't care what they were drinking, they were just having (mostly) a great time! By 10PM, I'll be praying to the porcelain Goddess in the stall next to you. Cheers, mate!
It's called moonshine, because during prohibition, they only transported it from their hideaways at night, mostly in black cars. They didn't want cops catching them, so they drove without their headlights on and relied on the moonlight (moonshine) to see where they were going.
Twas before that ,kathleen... Was made by the scotch irish immigrants living in the hills of south east US to avoid thet high taxes involved in legal alcoholic beverages BEFORE prohibition.
Colby Conner lol!!! That's why I don't drink! If it'll run your motor vehicles & degrease car engines.... imagine what it'll do to brain cells & body organs! (Liver, kidneys, & eyes(blindness?!) I've seen some ole school drinkers.... & their eyes don't look normal.
@Ben Franklin A chemistry professor I had was at University of Kentucky at one time. He said the students weren't particularly scholarly but when it came to distillation experiments they really did well.
We have a very lovely watermelon flavored moonshine here in West Virginia- only to be obtained from the best car trunks around. You will literally blow flames.
I love Donal & the long-haired funny girl together - they're hilarious together! Love to see more of their pairing for any more drinking vids - comical 😂👌
This video: *exists* Comment Section: *Angry banjo playing* THIS AINT REAL MOONSHINE Yes yes, we're all very impressed at your ability to brag about how much paint thinner you can drink
My family made shine starting about 1850 in northern Michigan. We still have the copper still and the recipe. Mainly cracked corn chicken feed. At the end of the process a bottle of cheap Dago red went in each gallon. Gave it a nice flavor and a pinkish blush.
The editing and all these amazing tester's are what made this channel a true blessing to all viewers seriously!. Still missing this greatness here in 2020!. 😭
For anyone who wants to know Ole Smokey's distillery located in Gatlinburg Tennessee makes amazing flavored moonshine & whiskey Most of their moonshine is 30 proof BUT they do have one called White Lightning that is 100 proof & another called Blue Flame (Maybe lightning) that is 124proof
When I feel bad I come back to see Lolsy’s face in this video and her holding it in her mouth and him yelling “ARE YOU HOLDING I-SWALLOW IT SWALLOW IT”
+Magie I had a dream while napping yesterday that John's apartment was down the hall from mine, and he asked me out. I woke up thinking, "WTF?????" Not only do neither of us live in apartments, we don't even live on the same continent, AND, I'm 20 years older than him, and I don't do cougar.
I'm from the great state of Arizona. I feel it's my duty to tell these beautiful Irish people, not to visit us in the summertime. You may burst into flames...
People can always guess I am Irish for I am as pale all hell. Have lived in Florida for 7 years and my family tries to get me to go out, I'm like hell no I will burst into flames in the summer, will stay inside like a mole person until the sunsets to get what I need.
It's called moonshine when because outlaw distillers would make it under the shinning light of the moon so they wouldn't get caught. The name is kind of an appreciation to its wild west outlaw roots. Which is also why some people say it's not real moonshine unless it's illegally distilled.
The term moonshine has been around since the late 15th century, but it was first used to refer to liquor in the 18th century in England. The American roots of the practice (and of modern American whiskey production in general) have their origins in frontier life in Pennsylvania and other grain-producing states.
I am from Appalachia. I am an old man, and I have a lot of experience with moonshine. Note I am saying "experience." I am not saying I have drunk this stuff in quantity. In my area, shine is made mostly with corn (not entirely, but mostly), and it invariably has a yeast-like flavor to it. I like a yeast flavor in French champagne, but nowhere else. Hence, flavored shine usually tastes better (than unflavored), depending on the flavoring. Remember, this stuff is for sipping - in limited quantities. Do NOT get drunk on shine! If you do, you will have one of the most epic hang-overs of your life. I thank moonshine for giving me my taste for single malt scotch whiskey - a far superior product (than shine).
A note from someone who was born and raised in southeast ky, in what is essentially the heart of appalachia: Any moonshine that is packaged in a cute little artsy jar isn't moonshine. It's what we call "shine wine". Here's how to know you're drinking real moonshine: -it singes your nose hairs from about 2 feet away after the lid is screwed off the jar -besides the more extreme varieties of peppers and hot sauces, it's the most painful and disgusting thing you've ever tasted. -you become drunk and angry almost immediately -and finally, you bought it from a bootlegger. The FDA would never allow genuine moonshine to be commercially sold.
It's not inherently disgusting, that's low quality. True white lightning is almost flavorless like a fine vodka. Very warm, and shouldn't burn as bad as a lot of people describe. If it tastes or burns like shit it was made like shit.
Also east KY. I've known a few old dudes who still make it. Obvious copper order. If they have perfected it It's way smoother than anything you will get from these grain alcohols. It doesn't earn the title of shine unless its an illegal operation. Everclear is legal and as strong as any of these faux shines, it's just wretched though.
I am from Tennessee. They make a cinnamon flavored moonshine called Apple Pie that is smooth. It will sneak up on you though, especially if you try to do something complicated like walk or talk.
Is that legal? Also, what is the proof of that? Isn't real moonshine like, 195 proof?
+Jason Rogers In recent years licensing requirements have been relaxed. But they will always make "illegal" moonshine. Recipes have been passed down that pre-date the Revolutionary War. The problem the government has with "illegal" liquor is that they cant collect taxes on it.
But isn't it also dangerous?
If you are from Tennessee, then you should know this ain't real moonshine.
They got some decent shine in stores tho but yea this aint the Dreamsickle you get in mason jars from your local supply
Lol their "American" accents while singing fireflies 😂😂😂
Lindsay Nicole that part! 😂
That killed me
Lindsay Nicole yeah that was cute ^_^
2:50
lmaoo i love the way they said that 😂
The guy in the Michigan sweater and girl with the side pony tail seem like a lot of fun to hang out with.
I'm here thinking " I thought they were Irish" when I say the guy in the sweater
Go Blue
Clark Tipton she is hilarious! I also like the girl with glasses with long hair. Never seen them together but they would great!
Brett L the bandwagon knows no bounds

Irish have a Shine of their own called Poitín or Poteen, made in tiny villages and it'll blind ya
@@bmphil3400 weird flex but ok and besides the entire point is you guys don't have good shine lol

Nameramthgin don't forget the clear mason jars
What the fuck happened to you?
Where can one acquire such gallon of shine?? I live in Southern California and I have yet to purchase any moonshine.
Luis Ramos you gotta come to the southern states where the mountain men are. Not California dude. They drink fruity drinks in Cali. Don’t tell a mountain man you’re from Cali either. They’ll call you a queer.
matthew taylor last time
I checked there were mountains in cali and gold
These pairing’s were great. Wanna see them again.
More Laura please :-)
LtJackboot I love her facial expressions.
HOLY GUACAMOLE says she-hahahahahahahaha- what a gal:-)
Agreed, very entertaining!
Oh my gosh I can't even imagine how they would act if they got the actual homemade moonshine!😂
As soon as I saw "Ol' Smokey" I said to myself, "That's not actually moonshine." It's only 100 proof.
Laura hit a rough patch but she recovered like a champ while the Sharpson boys have a grand old time. Class!!
Jon Vecellio which one is laura?
The hot and talented one
Jack Mauldin the pierced up one?
+Robert W yeah
She said on twitter that she was hungover from a video the day before.
This lady sitting with the man in the Michigan sweater was adorable and priceless, and for some reason I get the feeling he has tried moonshine before.
The young woman with the guy wearing the Michigan sweatshirt had me ROTFL. This was hilarious.
That would be “Lolsy”, she’s the absolute best;
_RAH RAH RASPUTIN, LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN, He was a cat that really was gone..._
Every time she belches an angel gets set on fire.
The singing and beatboxing made this video 200% amazing.
They sound more and more irish after every drink
CcIsCopyrightClaimed 030 they sound American after the middle
CcIsCopyrightClaimed 030 // makes this 100 times better
usually how it happens, my family say I sound posh as fuck when I'm sober, then I get a few whiskeys in me and like a switch flips on in my brain, and proper northern accent comes out lmfao
You know its bad, when an irish person says: "I dont wanna drink any more"...
Yes, but the irish practically invented alcoholism. Kids enter primary school after they´ re done with their first rehab and the national dish is ethanol.
nasachusetts obviously they're going by the stereotype. Doesn't make it true or false.
nasachusetts i dig that. Tried to kill my sorrows with rakia and vodka (that polish zubrovka is wizardry) do they have other videos trying hard liquor
A good Czech sliva your liva is great too,or hruskova.
stop stereotyping! fucking stupid
When ya realize how long ya've loved some of these reactors man.... BLESS YOU ALL yes, still there 2021!!! Yes, Love you guys!!!!
Now get ahold of the homemade "moonshine" and see how they act
legit was thinking the same thing.
Absolute death and agony
Shawn O'Reilly Absolutely!!!
Robert Curtis That’s actually a myth
@Toasted Cheeseburger It's only brutal if they don't care about what they are making..Its like weed where I live in VA if it ain't smooth and taste good ..start a fire with it.. Because it ain't worth a shit..
I just love how much fun John (guy with the Michigan sweatshirt) is having watching the girl taste test the moonshine!! 😂
I'm so glad that my grandparents are from the south cause we used to make it all the time.
If it can't start your car than it's not real shine .
or peel paint.
Yeah....if your engine is diesel!
No. Real Moonshine will combust and run in a gasoline engine.
If you can buy it in a liquor store it’s not real shine. Haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
_"It tastes like a weasels butt"_
THAT needs to be on a moonshine label.
D4md Cykey the question is: how do they know what a weasels butt tastes like? Lol 😂
Honestly, a warning label like that would move a million units. Easy.
Weasel Butts sounds like a punk band from Scunthrope
It would've been funnier if Kellie shot back with "It's worse!"
I don't even wanna know how that person knows what a weasel's butt tastes like.
"Have you drank this one... don't drink it... but try it" 😂😂😂😂😂
The more I watch these the more I realize Kelly is one tough broad she really just takes whatever they throw at her in stride
Well, the first round already blew out their taste buds. By the forth round, they didn't care what they were drinking, they were just having (mostly) a great time! By 10PM, I'll be praying to the porcelain Goddess in the stall next to you. Cheers, mate!
That made me laugh more than the video.

Twas before that ,kathleen... Was made by the scotch irish immigrants living in the hills of south east US to avoid thet high taxes involved in legal alcoholic beverages BEFORE prohibition.
Kezi, I meant American southerners of Scots-Irish descent. They settled heavily in the parts of the south that produced moonshine.
What part of Florida are you in, Arlinda?
I don't know why it's so much fun watching irish people drink... not just moonshine but anything.. it's so stereotype affirming.
adam Pepole love accents as well as the different perspective of people from the other side of the globe.
adam i know one of the guys literally has a drinking podcast, maybe they like drinking? Like every one else in the whole world
adam it's just cause these folks are hilarious,even when sober lol. Plus,I have no life lol
adam we need one with russians
Stereotypes aren't made up kid.
"It smells like childhood" I'm a bit concerned
I swear this is one of the best ones yet! Couldn't stop laughing midway through the second one

Oh man, the freestyle at the end.
phillbucs got me too. She was funny all episode and that made me lol
Paddy saying "lovely" makes my heart happy.
Is it just me or do thier accents become more pronounced the more they drink? Lol!!!
Yeh beginning they sound american
What do you think the Irish accent is?
Now u know why the irish always sound super irish all the time
So does mine! The more I drink the more my irish heritage comes out
The moonshine isn’t good unless you mistake it for gasoline or lighter fluid

same!
Grew up sneaking the 'shine in North Carolina! I'm dying here, in tears lololol!!!!
I laughed entirely too hard at this 😂😂 one of their best, in my opinion
40% alcohol? Weakest moonshine ever made. I'll take my liquor from a still up in the mountains thank you very much
It's not a moonshine, least you can get is around 60%.
Yeah, cause who the hell likes doing complicated things like "walking" or "talking"
I love how you say that I actually got moonshine that’s 180 proof 😂😂
That's quite possibly the most American thing I've ever read
Yeah don't breathe near and sparks or 🔥🤟 you will ingnite
We have a very lovely watermelon flavored moonshine here in West Virginia- only to be obtained from the best car trunks around. You will literally blow flames.
Mmm watermelon
Wvu game days just ain’t it without some homemade shine
Platte Valley Corn Whiskey is from my part of the US. They make a LOT of distilled products in that little town.

Yes yes, we're all very impressed at your ability to brag about how much paint thinner you can drink
LMFAO
As terribly clever as you are, people from Appalachia and the South are simply pointing out the blatantly obvious. None of this is moonshine.
Hello, 911? I'd like to report a murder.
LLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL
Yeah real shine is 191 proof or 190 and it's smooth as shit if made right.
You ain't had moonshine until it's being served at a bonfire party in mini milk cartons
i think in any of the alcohol videos this is the first time we actually saw them drunk.........
ash white Fast too, lol
chris white Moonshine is no joke 😣😣😣
0 to drunk in under a minute
Seriously, they were drunk on the point of shitfaced, a rare thing for the Irish
They got so trashed, its great. Moonshine does that to you, even the labelled non crazy shit.
"I don't want to drink anymore" guys, I think you broke her.
And she's IRISH.
I thought Irish people were alcoholics 😂
I love how Donal always comes up with a jingle for everything off the top of his head, he is too precious
Moonshine is like Bathtub Gin and just as Deadly! Both originally used Lye!
I could watch a whole video of just the beatboxing girl! that and her going "WOOW! Holy guacamole!" were my favorite parts haha

It's not real, if it has a label
@Most Deadest Pool of em All. Ah I see
Or, at least, a label that ain't masking tape and marker.
Thats was fucking retarded
Wtf are you on about, its legitimate brands that have been given the green flag to make it in their states legally. Example ole smoky
Everclear and clear spring would like a word with you
You would not believe your eyes

Ole Smokey's distillery located in Gatlinburg Tennessee makes amazing flavored moonshine & whiskey
Most of their moonshine is 30 proof BUT they do have one called White Lightning that is 100 proof & another called Blue Flame (Maybe lightning) that is 124proof

2) Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey Mixed with Ole Smokys Cookie Dough Whiskey
Honorable Mentions
1) Satly Carmel Whiskey (taste like Werthers)
2) Cookie Dough Whiskey
3) Hunch Punch Moonshine
A little bit too much light in this video. Keep in mind this is Irish people you're dealing with
Too true. Laura's after drink pink complexion comes out in a softer light.
ShawnSeven Was thinking same thing lol but other than that, class vid. 😎
ShawnSeven but it's June! doesn't the sun ever shine n Ireland?!?! 😁
ShawnSeven totally agree ! It bugged the hell out of me you can't see their features
Honestly yeah. Laura's face was nearly absent for the whole video
When I feel bad I come back to see Lolsy’s face in this video and her holding it in her mouth and him yelling “ARE YOU HOLDING I-SWALLOW IT SWALLOW IT”
She'll probably hear that on her wedding night too. LOL
"Moonshine, moonshine, the shine that comes from the moon!"
That little song was adorable! :)
Ole smokey is my favorite. You can buy it most Mariono's grocery store. $19 mix it with anything.
This may be my favorite alcohol taste test video. Laura's reactions are priceless
Called moonshine, because made at night by the light of the moon, bootlegging.
My grandma told me stories of how my great grandfather and his friends would make moonshine in the woods

almost every time "is it still in your mouth?!" XD
looks like facts needs to hire a colorist, this video is so overexposed that Laura's facial features are missing
laura is freaking cute. she is so precious. we must protect her
my FAVOURITE Lolsy episode EVER ! ( I have to believe she was already toasted before the shoot )
