Small mouth & perch? I’ve got a native brookie and rainbow flavored palette preference. Fished many an April standing in a trout stream and it snowing. I used to get some good personal consumption quality shine from KY, nearz ‘bout where W.Va, Ky, and Va all come together. Made in his kitchen...on a wood cook stove .... all stainless setup, 5 gal / run max around 130 proof. Co-workers hear in RTP, NC would stop by my house on occasion for ‘a taste of dat dar puny medicines’. Had to lie or run ‘em off this one fellar.....he liked it too much, especially that gallon I aged for 8 years in an amber bottle in the back under the kitchen sink. You got any idea how hard it was to ignore that jug for eight years?
This is just another example of the market poised to work. In North Dakota and Montana the Battan Trend is thought to have reserves of over 300 billion barrels or which 10-20 percent are recoverable. Recent development wells drilled produced 2000 bpd. On recent trip to Dallas I noticed four or five drilling rigs going all out 24/7 developing a major new natural gas find. If the politicians would just get out of the way and let the market work this commodity would again trade as a commodity and in the manipulated convoluted manner it currently is.
