The cat was actually just yawning in that shot, I took a shot first with a flash, then, I turned off the flash and got the yawn shot.:smile-purple:Whoa, good kitty.

Allot of times it is cut with juice or water to weaken it. I am surprised you did not sample it on NYE. Both are gone now, but I still had some of my pure shine from Kentucky which was straight from the still. It was easily over 150 proof and burned accordingly. It is not really a sippable liquid, more for very fast shots. I also had some that was cut with apple juice which was easily under 80 proof and easily drinkable. The stuff you see at the stores labeled as shine is pretty much the same thing or at least it smells/taste the same, but is usually only 80 proof. Regardless, it truly tastes better when made illegally by toothless people. No offense intended towards you toothless people.but the last time I had real legit shine, I was terribly disappointed with how strong it was...
I thought it was going to be at least 100+ proof... I was expecting to drink a jar and be pretty hammered... but I think it was probably closer to 40 proof... :frown:
Everytime someone took a drink and then did a big over exaggerated "whoa"... I had a hard time not punching them in the face...
Ok, that's not at all true, I'm not really latently violent like that,
but I did have a hard time not saying "are you

Bingo. The jar of straight shine is right at 160 proof, and it gives a good burn as it goes down. The other jars in the pic are mixed with distilled water, fruit, and sugar to 80-100 proof (some flavors cover a stronger mix better than others) so that my friends will actually drink them. We'll see what's left here after the STL TBU crew invades my place this Saturday night.Allot of times it is cut with juice or water to weaken it. I am surprised you did not sample it on NYE.
