Yes, if memory serves, it is one of the first products of distillation when making moonshine, which is why moonshiners throw out the first batch (They have a name for it).
Sounds like someone was trying to make their own snort and sell it as product.

Moonshine is not wood alcohol.

Yep, it condenses at a lower temperature than ethanol, so the first stuff to come out of the still is going to be more methanol than ethanol.
