Although I was aware of distilling laws, I didn't take the thought much further. I'm really not sure why I hadn't - being skeptical and curious is in my blood. Perhaps I didn't because I wasn't planning on making moonshine anytime soon. :) I'm glad you brought this consideration of taxing and regulation to light because regardless of the product, the impact is still important to us all. I recall a conversation I had with a local, small-town rural Iowa orchard owner a few months back who couldn't sell her apples because she had not received the official government ok to do so. They're apples! 🍎 - Ahhh, but they are more than just apples.... or moonshine.... or raw milk.
