Moonshiners Recreate 1800s Whiskey Recipe… It Turns Out PERFECT

Moonshiners Recreate 1800s Whiskey Recipe… It Turns Out PERFECT Three legendary moonshiners go back in time to recreate three 1800s whiskey recipes that were lost to history—and the results are absolutely perfect. We follow a high-stakes journey from the hollows of Franklin County, Tennessee, to the swamps of Charleston, South Carolina, to find the spirits that built America. From a purple-heart veteran’s century-old family recipe to a Civil War corn variety pulled back from the brink of extinction, we are running the jars exactly how the legends did. In this episode, we recreate: Cecil Love’s 1800s Four-Grain: Digging up a copper still buried for over a decade to run a precise grain bill of cornmeal, rye, malted barley, and wheat bran. The Jimmy Red Civil War Shine: Reviving a high-oil heritage corn that nearly went extinct, using a hand-cranked sheller to preserve the flavor-rich oils for a buttery finish. Abraham Lincoln’s Sorghum Whiskey: Building a custom 7-foot "Stovepipe Hat" copper still to recreate the sorghum-based frontier whiskey Lincoln likely sold in 1832. "The secret isn't just the grains—it's the timing." Every grain hits the mash at a specific minute to ensure the flavor is identical to the jars poured over 150 years ago.
