Rye whiskey: 51+% rye (grain) Scotch whisky: Usually malted barley, distilled 2 times in Scotland Irish whiskey: Usually malted barley, distilled 3 times and aged 3 years in Ireland Most corn (maize, Zea mays L.) is not sweet corn Corn - $51.5 billion, 89 million acres, 404 million tons Sweet corn - $860 million, 495,000 acres, 4 million tons Plant breeding and agronomy have increased yields Brummer, E.C., W.T.

  • Articles • Distilling Tradition: the Traditionalization of Craft
    PAGE 89 • Articles • Distilling Tradition: The Traditionalization of Craft Moonshine at Bear Wallow Distillery CAROLINE HUNDLEY MILLER Indiana University, Bloomington Abstract: Moonshine has traditionally been defined by the illicit nature of its production. Increasingly micro-distilleries are basing their business on the production of “legal moonshine”—legally produced un-aged whiskey labelled by the distillers as moonshine. This paper draws primarily on ethnographic work at Bear Wallow Distillery to understand how the owners create a destination distillery by connecting their legal moonshine and distillery experience to a local moonshining tradition and a broader rural American imaginary. It will also explore issues of traditionalization and commodification of heritage through examining how micro-distilleries rely on a perceived connection with an “authentic” moonshine tradition even as they seek to challenge traditional definitions of moonshine in the development of their own moonshining tradition. Bear Wallow Distillery is a family-run craft micro-distillery in Gnaw Bone, Indiana, nestled in the hills of Brown County. Brown County, situated about an hour south o f Indianapolis, is a popular tourist destination, especially for outdoor recreation. Its beautiful outdoor attractions include Hoosier National Forest, Brown County State Park, Yellowwood State Forest, Lake Monroe, and Lake Lemon. The distillery opened in 2014 and is owned and operated by Susan Spagnuolo. The distillery is truly a family-run business: Susan’s son Adam is the head of production, her son Jon is in charge of marketing and creates all the labelling and logos, and her husband Mike works at the distillery entertaining customers with highly engaging tours on the weekends.

THE MEANING OF "HOOTCH, MOONSHINE, CORN WHISKEY" IN THE MISSOURI PROHIBITION LAW Even before the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Federal Con- stitution the various constituent commonwealths of the Union possessed, as a part of the so-called police power, the right to pass statutes regulating or prohibiting the manufacture, transportation, and sale of intoxicating liquors., The Eighteenth Amendment itself in general terms declared that the transportation, importation, exportation, manufacture, and sale of such liquors should be prohibited. It is beyond the scope of the present paper to discuss in detail the jural effects of this amendment. It is sufficient for our present purpose to say that it laid upon the government of both the Federal Union and the states the duty of passing some ade- quate legislation to make criminal the act of a person dealing in the prohibited man- ner with any species of intoxicants.
