Moonshine Shirts

Moonshine, an illicitly produced distilled alcohol, traces its origins to the 18th century in the United States, particularly in the Appalachian region. Settlers, primarily of Scots-Irish descent, brought their knowledge of distilling spirits from Europe.

With abundant corn crops, they adapted their techniques to produce whiskey. The term "moonshine" derives from the practice of distilling alcohol clandestinely by night to avoid detection by authorities. The production surged during Prohibition (1920-1933) when alcohol was banned nationwide.

Despite its illegal status, moonshine became an enduring part of American culture, symbolizing defiance and ingenuity in the face of restrictive laws.
