Definately not Gentleman Jack!
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO......
Menthol? Did it give the hooch a clean, fresh taste? How about methanol?
It says methanol, idiot.
Its methanol, and it is created first when distilling. When distilling ethanol, the first few percent of distillate has to be discarded because it is methanol and is toxic, causing blindness or death.
i gather the contaminated moonshine didnt go through the correct process isnt that how MENTHOL was still evident or not please educate me
Um, read the article again. It was either a typo that was quickly corrected or you simply didn't pay attention the first time around... Try sounding out the words if you're a bit slow; sometimes that helps...
