A couple years back, I stopped in Old Tennessee Distillery off of I-40 and did a tasting of their moonshines. While I was there, I took a picture of some bottles of moonshine and rum.

Recently an article came to my attention that wasn't very flattering when it came to American Single Malt (link below).
