What, No Raspberry?
After getting tips from informants, sheriff’s deputies in Flagler County, Fla., conducted an undercover operation. Over a two-month period, undercover officers bought strawberry, blackberry, and apple-flavored moonshine, in addition to “regular” flavor, from a truck parked along the highway. The hooch tested out to contain 65–75 percent alcohol. The alleged salesman, Bob Tibbs, 69, was charged with possession of more than one gallon of moonshine, and deputies dismantled a still on his property. “A lot of people may be surprised that moonshine operations still exist,” said Flagler County Sheriff Donald Fleming. “It does and it is illegal.” (RC/Orlando Sentinel) ...No one is surprised that there are still moonshiners. But many will be surprised that they offer strawberry, blackberry, and apple flavors.Original Publication Date: 20 May 2012
