Official Jon Gruden Thread VII

[Jake]

My greatgrand father went to prison for 5 years for makin shine and building stills in North Jawja.. Near elijay up in them mountains..

That's legendary and I respect that...but he actually went to prison for not having a license to sell and no paying taxes...right?

Yep the revenuers... What they called them..

 

[Jake]

You're right, Jake. I personally don't like their mash bill. Ole Smokey is high quality, however, the recipe isn't the greatest. Plus, there's no fun in legal shine. I'd rather spend my money on a good bourbon.

I hear ya...and agree. But it's all I can get for the bar, an it works out really nicely for me. 😎

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

Yes Ma'am....Nice....:good!:


on 2nd thought... you may want to take it to use it for protection...:unsure:

Yeah,it's gotten heavier so it will be more effective.

 

[Volz4lif3]

Illegal also prohibition also..

 

[7thgroupvolfan]

Moonshiners!!!!!

I'm hooked

 

[patrick]

[Tenacguy50]

I love this thread and the possibility of getting Gruden, but I see no justification for being disrespectful to Dooley and his family through this. JMO.

^ This...earned a "like" from me. Especially his family.

 

[1world1love]

That stuff sucks. Mass produced crap for tourists.

 

[Volz4lif3]

Southerners understand these boys..

Hank III is in on some legal 'shine venture that supposedly uses Popcorn's recipe.

 

[cutnitclose]

yeah that place will meltdown for sure. wasn't he supposed to announce at 4 there today

Yea... It was delayed for a day to build up the excitement..

 

[3rdDown4What?]

Volunteer Pride page on Facebook is saying its Gruden. Probably not credible at all but jus throwing it out there.

 

[R0CKYT0P 16]

They don't care in north Georgia really anymore. I bought a jar of white off a gentleman and the county sheriff came around the corner right after I bought it. He was only mad at me because I got the last jar of white lightning. Gotta love the south!

 

[B-Stizzy]

Actually it is. I was just watching Moonshiners and they were talking about how the flavors are more profitable because they cut it to 40 proof...and make a 300% profit. Believe me bro...I'm from the Appalachian Mountains and I've had shine from very good stills...say whatchu want about Ole Smokey store bought shine...but its high quality!!

Now, I will admit, old timers that used Jolly Ranchers and home made hard candy for flavor infusion had some serious shine...but it's rare that it ain't cut down any more.

Yea but you can still add some flavor without making it drop drastically in alcohol content. I get a nice apple pie flavor that's still at about 80 proof.

How would you feel if Jon Gruden stepped up to mic in a packed Tommy Bowl and said, "I am sure glad to be the head coach at the University of Tennessee. Actually, I wanted this job 4 years ago and Mike Hamilton would not talk to me."

 

[Jake]

Illegal also prohibition also..

1920-1933 I believe?

My bar was opened in 1909 and survived Prohibition. Bootlegged whiskey out of a series of tunnels in the basement...

Opened back up for legal business the week Prohibition was lifted in 1933. Been a operating bar every since then. I own the original business license (1909) and the liquor license from 1933.

His wife sold Jr. Popcorn's recipe..

Latest From Mike Irwin on WAAMBLA

"I was told today from a source close to the Foundation that the 6 million dollar salary figure that's being touted as having been already approved for a so called super hire is not true.

I was also told that the Gruden rumors are coming from a New York based businessman who has dealings with some Hog boosters in NWA.

The person I talked to said the guy is good at his job but he thinks he's full of it on the Gruden stuff.

I think it's believable that there is a target out there above Patterson and Gruden. I don't think it's Gruden but you never say never in my business."

Bahaha, no Gruden for them. Not that we didn't already know that.

Better than Gruden though? Yeah right.

Was in hurry today. My daughter turned one and went to aquarium and wanted to go to Ole Smokey Moonshine. Do you know if they have apple pie?

 

[ajvol01]

Did you hear the very end? 3:40..."I'm trying to get reconnected w/ UT, i've been gone so long." Did I hear that right!

Popcorn sutton's white lightning? Yeah Its not the same. You can have a recipe all you want but there was something to popcorns stuff that made it legendary.
