Don't know if any of you have ever heard of Popcorn Sutton or not. He was a moonshiner from the mountains of East Tenn and N.C. for a very long time and was an icon in that part of the world for his "likker". He got busted in 2009 and sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, but refused to go and wound up committing suicide. Many YouTube videos out there documenting his shine making and lifestyle. Seems like he was a real hoot and I would have loved to have known him myself. With "White Whiskey" becoming commercialized and semi mainstream these days, thought I'd post a couple of video's about him for those who have never heard of him.

Buy American, the job you save just might be your own.
