1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:01,567
There ain't no doubt about it.
2
00:00:01,567 --> 00:00:02,867
That's law enforcement.
3
00:00:02,867 --> 00:00:06,767
[narrator] This time
on the season finale
of oonshiners...
4
00:00:06,767 --> 00:00:08,567
I don't know how much time
that we got,
5
00:00:08,567 --> 00:00:11,266
but we're gonna clear out
of this site immediately.
6
00:00:11,266 --> 00:00:14,567
It really makes you think
twice about this business.
7
00:00:14,567 --> 00:00:17,567
Right here. I think we
should do lavender moonshine.
8
00:00:17,567 --> 00:00:20,500
Danielle Parton makes spirits
with women in mind.
9
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:22,567
[Henry]
This is gonna tell the story
if she gonna work or not.
10
00:00:22,567 --> 00:00:23,767
[Tickle]
If we can help her out,
11
00:00:23,767 --> 00:00:25,567
this could be
a big win for us.
12
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:26,667
She's strong, man.
13
00:00:26,667 --> 00:00:30,767
But distilling high-proof
liquor is very dangerous.
14
00:00:30,767 --> 00:00:32,667
Bad time to
light a cigarette, huh?
15
00:00:32,667 --> 00:00:35,066
[Jerry] Look like it's gonna
be a good peppermint shine
right here.
16
00:00:35,066 --> 00:00:37,767
Me and Jerry both
took two partial orders
17
00:00:37,767 --> 00:00:39,367
without each other
knowing about it.
18
00:00:39,367 --> 00:00:40,967
[Jerry] Eggnog on that side,
19
00:00:40,967 --> 00:00:42,233
peppermint this side.
20
00:00:42,233 --> 00:00:44,467
[Mike] If we can go in there
and fire up this pot one time
21
00:00:44,467 --> 00:00:46,800
and create two orders
in two different proofs,
22
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,500
that's a game changer for us.
23
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:49,867
Money in the bank, son.
24
00:00:50,767 --> 00:00:53,500
[bleep], we're done for.
25
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:54,667
Put your hands up on the car.
26
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,500
Hell, they got the burners,
27
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:58,667
got everything in here
ready to go today.
28
00:01:01,166 --> 00:01:03,600
[man] This is how
we make the moonshine.
29
00:01:16,367 --> 00:01:19,567
[Kelly] We have had
an event go on.
30
00:01:19,567 --> 00:01:22,100
See if youse can recognize
anything out of this.
31
00:01:23,266 --> 00:01:25,667
[Digger] Hatty,
look a little familiar?
32
00:01:25,667 --> 00:01:27,867
That's him. That's the same
one that approached us
33
00:01:27,867 --> 00:01:29,133
wanting to buy liquor, Digger.
34
00:01:29,133 --> 00:01:32,567
Yep. This cat ain't just
snooping around
wanting to buy liquor.
35
00:01:32,567 --> 00:01:34,367
He's wanting
to put us in jail.
36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,367
This is the nightmare
finally come true.
37
00:01:38,367 --> 00:01:40,867
[narrator] In Cocke County,
Tennessee...
38
00:01:40,867 --> 00:01:43,300
Well, let's go see what these
sons of bitches want.
39
00:01:43,967 --> 00:01:45,166
There he is.
40
00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:48,100
...after six weeks
of unusual encounters
41
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:51,000
involving a man driving
a black pickup truck...
42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,100
This ain't no good at all.
43
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:58,767
...Mark and Digger
find convincing evidence
44
00:01:58,767 --> 00:02:03,266
they're the target of
an active law enforcement
investigation.
45
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:05,166
[Mark] There ain't no doubt
about it no more.
46
00:02:05,166 --> 00:02:06,600
That's law enforcement.
47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,467
It's time we shut it down.
48
00:02:08,467 --> 00:02:09,600
Shut it all down.
49
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,266
Yep. We're gonna have to go
clean up every still site
50
00:02:12,266 --> 00:02:13,600
and get all the equipment up.
51
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,700
I'll call Jeff
52
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:16,300
and see if we can
use that barn over there
53
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:18,567
on that priceless
Grove Farm he's got.
54
00:02:18,567 --> 00:02:19,700
First and foremost,
55
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,000
we got to get
your still site cleaned up.
56
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,567
[Digger] Yeah,
that's the priority right now
57
00:02:23,567 --> 00:02:25,166
because he's
already been there.
58
00:02:25,166 --> 00:02:27,266
You know,
I checked that game camera
59
00:02:27,266 --> 00:02:29,567
as quick as
I got this notification
60
00:02:29,567 --> 00:02:31,867
and there's no activity
on it at all.
61
00:02:31,867 --> 00:02:32,934
Okay.
62
00:02:32,934 --> 00:02:36,000
Kelly has other cameras
up at the still site itself,
63
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,800
and no one has been there.
64
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,166
But at some point,
65
00:02:40,166 --> 00:02:42,900
this young man's going
to gather enough information,
66
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:44,967
and he's going
to travel on up that hill,
67
00:02:44,967 --> 00:02:46,667
and then it is too late.
68
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,567
Our biggest card in the hole
right here is
69
00:02:50,567 --> 00:02:53,266
he don't know that
we know he's been there.
70
00:02:53,266 --> 00:02:54,800
[Kelly]
That's what I'm thinking.
71
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,400
If we can get in there,
there's an old logging road
72
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,767
coming around the backside
into that place that--
73
00:02:59,767 --> 00:03:01,567
That don't bypass that camera.
74
00:03:01,567 --> 00:03:04,867
It's actually off of another
whole road way on up the hill.
75
00:03:04,867 --> 00:03:06,567
Let's get on up there
and let's get movin'
76
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:08,100
before they gather up
reinforcements.
77
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:09,133
[Mark] Right.
78
00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:12,000
We're gonna clear
out of this site immediately,
79
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,500
and we got to get the words
to the other teams
80
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,500
to shut them down,
close up shop.
81
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:20,567
But the upside
is I'm not in handcuffs
82
00:03:20,567 --> 00:03:22,367
and neither is Kelly
and Amanda
83
00:03:22,367 --> 00:03:24,300
or any of the other teams,
84
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,367
and that's what we're
going to try to prevent.
85
00:03:27,367 --> 00:03:28,266
[Digger] Yeah, we're done for
86
00:03:28,266 --> 00:03:30,367
if he gets up there
before we do.
87
00:03:30,367 --> 00:03:32,166
He can get us
just for the equipment.
88
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:40,800
[ringtone playing]
89
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,767
-Hey.
-What you got there?
90
00:03:42,767 --> 00:03:45,567
Danielle Parton. Hey, Dani,
what you got going on, girl?
91
00:03:45,567 --> 00:03:46,867
[Danielle on phone] You know,
I'm just out hustling,
92
00:03:46,867 --> 00:03:48,100
making that money.
93
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:50,066
I heard that.
We love that money, don't we?
94
00:03:50,066 --> 00:03:53,500
Danielle Parton is the niece
of the queen of country music,
95
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:54,600
Dolly Parton.
96
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,567
She owns a distillery that
caters to female drinkers.
97
00:03:58,567 --> 00:04:01,000
She's also worked
with Henry in the past.
98
00:04:02,066 --> 00:04:05,000
-Dani,
you gonna mark this over?
-Yes, sir.
99
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,667
I think I need a bigger one.
I can make it into a hot tub.
100
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:09,567
[man] I used to have one
on my back porch.
101
00:04:09,567 --> 00:04:10,967
How many ladies did it hold?
102
00:04:10,967 --> 00:04:12,800
Quite a few.
103
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,567
[Danielle on phone]
I'm working on a new project.
104
00:04:14,567 --> 00:04:16,000
I got a new liquor
I'm wanting to make,
105
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,900
and I'm hitting some
roadblocks.
106
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,300
I was gonna see if
I can get you to come
107
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,367
help me
work through some of this.
108
00:04:21,367 --> 00:04:23,567
What kind of product
are you talking about?
109
00:04:23,567 --> 00:04:25,667
Oh, now, you know I can't go
talking out in public.
110
00:04:25,667 --> 00:04:27,400
There's too many
big ears listening.
111
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,400
[chuckles] I don't know.
I guess we could come
down that way.
112
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,200
[Tickle] I'm a little hesitant
113
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,500
just to jump
and run down to Tennessee
114
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:36,367
when Danielle called,
asking for help.
115
00:04:36,367 --> 00:04:39,066
She won't even tell us
what we're working on.
116
00:04:39,066 --> 00:04:41,467
And if we don't know
what we're working on,
117
00:04:41,467 --> 00:04:43,767
how do we know
we can even accomplish this?
118
00:04:43,767 --> 00:04:45,300
[Henry]
I worked with her before, man,
119
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:46,200
and she's right on point.
120
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,567
I mean,
anything she goes to do,
121
00:04:47,567 --> 00:04:48,767
money is going to be made.
122
00:04:48,767 --> 00:04:50,266
-Okay.
-Think about it like this.
123
00:04:50,266 --> 00:04:52,767
How often does two outlaws,
like us,
124
00:04:52,767 --> 00:04:55,667
get a call
from Dolly Parton's niece
125
00:04:55,667 --> 00:04:57,300
and asks for help?
126
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:58,300
Well, hell, Henry,
127
00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:00,367
I guess, Tennessee,
here we come, right?
128
00:05:00,367 --> 00:05:01,667
Let's roll on down
and take care
129
00:05:01,667 --> 00:05:03,166
of that country music royalty,
hoss.
130
00:05:03,166 --> 00:05:04,367
All right, let's do it.
131
00:05:11,266 --> 00:05:13,967
[Mike] I tell you what,
old man wintertime has come
132
00:05:13,967 --> 00:05:16,700
in a daggum hurry
around here, buddy.
133
00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:19,166
[narrator] In Haywood County,
North Carolina,
134
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:21,100
after an ill-advised turf war
135
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:24,800
cost them their
$4,000 copper still...
136
00:05:27,266 --> 00:05:29,500
and hurricane-fueled
flooding caused
137
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:32,467
hundreds of dollars
of damage to its replacement,
138
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:35,300
outlaw shiners Mike and Jerry
139
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:40,000
need a big sale to avoid
losing money on the season.
140
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,767
I've got a smaller order
for a clear eggnog from a guy,
141
00:05:43,767 --> 00:05:46,667
but he don't want
but like 25 gallons.
142
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:49,567
I would rather, you know,
make a 40-gallon run,
143
00:05:49,567 --> 00:05:53,100
you know, the whole amount
that we run on one mash,
144
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:55,000
and get it all gone
at one time.
145
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,100
But this is not the case.
146
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:58,000
So I'm gonna go
and talk with Jerry
147
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
and see if we want to take
this kind of order on or not.
148
00:06:03,266 --> 00:06:06,000
-It's about time you show up.
-What's up, man?
149
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,567
Ah, I'm just having me
a cup of coffee.
150
00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:09,700
[exclaims] How much colder
it got up out there, ain't it?
151
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:12,300
-Oh, my God, man.
-Jeez old Pete's, man.
152
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:13,800
Tell you what,
153
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,066
I got us a good
end-of-the-season order.
154
00:06:17,066 --> 00:06:18,166
Do you?
155
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:19,767
I've got an order as well.
156
00:06:19,767 --> 00:06:21,567
25-gallon order.
157
00:06:21,567 --> 00:06:22,700
Mine's only 20.
158
00:06:23,867 --> 00:06:26,867
It turns out we both
got partial orders to fulfill.
159
00:06:26,867 --> 00:06:29,300
My customer,
he's wanting a clear eggnog.
160
00:06:29,867 --> 00:06:31,000
Clear eggnog?
161
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,867
Yep, he's lactose intolerant.
162
00:06:32,867 --> 00:06:34,000
He don't want no milk.
163
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,467
He don't want no egg in it.
164
00:06:35,467 --> 00:06:36,867
He just wants that flavor.
165
00:06:36,867 --> 00:06:38,367
He just wants that
eggnog flavor in it, huh?
166
00:06:38,367 --> 00:06:39,800
Yeah, but here's the kicker.
167
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,900
He wants it at 80 proof,
168
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:45,467
and he said
do not temper it down,
169
00:06:45,467 --> 00:06:46,867
add nothing else to it.
170
00:06:46,867 --> 00:06:48,900
Obviously, this guy knows
how to run liquor.
171
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:53,567
My guy just said he wants
20 gallons of 120-proof
peppermint shine.
172
00:06:53,567 --> 00:06:56,367
But he's willing to pay
$120 a gallon for it, though.
173
00:06:56,367 --> 00:06:58,467
I tell you what, Jerry,
it sucks that we're gonna have
174
00:06:58,467 --> 00:07:00,166
to do two different
partial orders.
175
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:02,400
We just don't really have the
time for one to be able to...
176
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,166
We don't.
177
00:07:03,166 --> 00:07:04,667
...mash in twice, run twice.
178
00:07:04,667 --> 00:07:06,800
And we're gonna have
alcohol left over.
179
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,567
When somebody wants something
of a certain nature,
180
00:07:11,567 --> 00:07:13,066
that's what we
try to give to them.
181
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:14,567
But if we can't
sell the whole thing,
182
00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:16,767
we just end up
getting stuck with the rest.
183
00:07:16,767 --> 00:07:18,000
You know what'd be nice,
184
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,166
if we could actually run
both these orders at one time.
185
00:07:22,667 --> 00:07:25,066
How in the hell
would we do that?
186
00:07:25,066 --> 00:07:27,300
You know, with the setup
that we've got, me and Jerry,
187
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:30,667
we could possibly
do these two flavor runs
188
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:32,166
in one particular run.
189
00:07:32,166 --> 00:07:34,367
But the problem
that we're going to have
190
00:07:34,367 --> 00:07:36,100
is we've got two
different flavored runs
191
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:38,300
that's two totally
different proofs.
192
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:39,667
You got a low proof.
193
00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:41,667
-Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.
-And mine's a higher proof.
194
00:07:41,667 --> 00:07:42,900
What if we just tapped
into the column
195
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:44,100
in two different places?
196
00:07:45,567 --> 00:07:47,500
We've already got one
coming out the top.
197
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,166
But if we pull off the bottom
just right out of the pot,
198
00:07:50,166 --> 00:07:52,200
-we're gonna be
a very low proof.
-Mmm-hmm.
199
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,100
So we can probably
pull that 80-proof off
200
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:56,467
closer to the bottom
of that column.
201
00:07:56,467 --> 00:07:58,066
-Okay.
-And then, you know,
202
00:07:58,066 --> 00:07:59,800
let it-- let it travel on up
203
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,066
and we can get
my higher proof at the top.
204
00:08:02,066 --> 00:08:03,200
I see where that'll work,
205
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,166
because your topper side's
gonna be higher proof anyway
206
00:08:05,166 --> 00:08:07,867
because it's reflux,
and it's moving up.
207
00:08:07,867 --> 00:08:10,166
It's gonna be like
we're manning two systems
208
00:08:10,166 --> 00:08:11,400
with one pot under it.
209
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,567
We've got plenty of
cold water to do both.
210
00:08:13,567 --> 00:08:15,900
And we got 350 gallons of mash
sitting under it.
211
00:08:15,900 --> 00:08:16,667
I believe it'll work.
212
00:08:16,667 --> 00:08:18,400
I believe it
will fricking work.
213
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,166
If this works like
we think it's gonna work,
214
00:08:21,166 --> 00:08:24,166
man, that could
be endless possibilities
of things we can do.
215
00:08:24,166 --> 00:08:25,467
We get this
modification done,
216
00:08:25,467 --> 00:08:27,367
we'll be able to run
two different jar rigs,
217
00:08:27,367 --> 00:08:28,700
two different condensers,
218
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:29,867
bring off
two different flavors,
219
00:08:29,867 --> 00:08:30,900
all at the same time.
220
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:32,667
Can you imagine next season
we get started
221
00:08:32,667 --> 00:08:34,600
fulfilling
two different orders
222
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,100
and making one trip
into the woods
223
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:38,200
-and the time and money
that would save us?
-Oh, my God.
224
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,767
You know that's
right up my alley.
225
00:08:39,767 --> 00:08:41,600
If what we've got
up our sleeve works,
226
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,867
we're gonna change
the moonshine world
as it is today.
227
00:08:44,867 --> 00:08:46,467
Since we're here,
let's order some food,
228
00:08:46,467 --> 00:08:47,767
have a bite to eat.
229
00:08:47,767 --> 00:08:49,000
[Mike] You paying for this?
230
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,900
To have us come
all the way to Tennessee,
231
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:57,967
it's got to be something
very challenging.
232
00:08:57,967 --> 00:09:00,567
You know, she's got
some heck of connections.
233
00:09:00,567 --> 00:09:02,600
Dolly Parton is her auntie.
234
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,767
[Paige] So I guess
whatever she got,
235
00:09:03,767 --> 00:09:05,867
we just gotta make sure
we can make it work.
236
00:09:05,867 --> 00:09:07,700
I always liked that Dolly.
237
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,100
We're here in Tennessee
to help Danielle Parton out
238
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:12,867
with a project she's got
at her distillery.
239
00:09:12,867 --> 00:09:15,467
Now, she wouldn't really
tell us what it is,
240
00:09:15,467 --> 00:09:18,200
but when the niece of the
queen of country music calls,
241
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,500
you answer that call.
242
00:09:20,767 --> 00:09:22,400
She's got a nice place here,
doesn't she?
243
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:23,767
[Tickle] Yeah, it looks nice.
244
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,300
Oh, my goodness,
245
00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:32,100
look what the cat has drug in.
246
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:33,166
[Henry] What's up, Dani?
247
00:09:33,166 --> 00:09:34,867
-It's been a while.
-Good to see you, baby.
248
00:09:34,867 --> 00:09:36,667
Danielle's got
a beautiful distillery here.
249
00:09:36,667 --> 00:09:38,367
-[Danielle] Come on.
-Show us what you got here.
250
00:09:38,367 --> 00:09:39,600
Come on. Welcome.
251
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,667
These are my toys.
252
00:09:44,767 --> 00:09:47,166
[Tickle] She's got
a really nice setup here.
253
00:09:47,166 --> 00:09:48,567
It's quite
a bit more high tech
254
00:09:48,567 --> 00:09:49,900
than what I'm used to using.
255
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:51,300
What do you do with
this little bitty baby thing?
256
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:52,367
It look like a little
spaceship right there.
257
00:09:52,367 --> 00:09:53,700
[Danielle] Well, if I'm gonna
test something out,
258
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:55,166
and I don't want to waste
a whole bunch of money,
259
00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:56,000
I do it in this.
260
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,300
I like this.
261
00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:59,567
I mean,
that's some unusual-looking
stills for us Virginia boys.
262
00:09:59,567 --> 00:10:01,266
We've never quite seen
anything like that.
263
00:10:01,266 --> 00:10:02,867
-It works like every other--
-So what did you call us
down here for?
264
00:10:02,867 --> 00:10:04,867
Well, I just hadn't been
harassed in a while.
265
00:10:04,867 --> 00:10:06,300
No. I need your help
with something.
266
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:08,000
Come on over.
I got a new idea.
267
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,700
-This is what
I brought you here for.
-This?
268
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:10,867
It's lavender.
269
00:10:10,867 --> 00:10:12,767
I think we should do
lavender moonshine.
270
00:10:12,767 --> 00:10:14,467
[Henry] You've lost
your ever-loving mind.
271
00:10:14,467 --> 00:10:15,667
Lavender.
272
00:10:15,667 --> 00:10:16,767
Ugh.
273
00:10:16,767 --> 00:10:19,000
I've never in my life
tried anything with lavender.
274
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,967
Well, I mean, it's damn sure
got a smell to it,
275
00:10:20,967 --> 00:10:22,266
that's for sure.
276
00:10:22,266 --> 00:10:26,600
Lavender has an extremely
strong floral smell.
277
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,100
It's used
mainly in aromatherapy.
278
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:31,500
It's very good
for de-stressing people.
279
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:33,066
It's very perfumy.
280
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:36,000
Kind of like if you ate
one of your grandma's
scented candles.
281
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,667
I want to make that
into a shine.
282
00:10:37,667 --> 00:10:40,166
I love like lavender mojitos
283
00:10:40,166 --> 00:10:41,867
and a lavender tinge
to something.
284
00:10:41,867 --> 00:10:43,367
Targeting the women and all?
285
00:10:43,367 --> 00:10:45,266
If women will drink it,
men will buy it.
286
00:10:45,266 --> 00:10:46,467
I don't know
much about lavender,
287
00:10:46,467 --> 00:10:48,700
but I know we could get
some essential oils off of it.
288
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:49,567
So you're talking about oil?
289
00:10:49,567 --> 00:10:51,266
We had a problem with oil
a while back
290
00:10:51,266 --> 00:10:53,567
with some of that CBD
we was running.
291
00:10:53,567 --> 00:10:54,767
We couldn't get it to mix.
292
00:10:54,767 --> 00:10:57,367
There's an abundance
of oils in this stuff,
293
00:10:57,367 --> 00:10:59,000
and all you gotta do
is rub the plant,
294
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,066
and I swear, I could go home
295
00:11:00,066 --> 00:11:01,767
and my wife would
think I was cheating on her.
296
00:11:01,767 --> 00:11:03,867
So if you get
essential oils from this...
297
00:11:03,867 --> 00:11:06,100
-[Danielle] Yes.
-We might run into a problem.
298
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:07,567
We worked with hemp before,
299
00:11:07,567 --> 00:11:10,467
and we understand
that a high-proof alcohol
300
00:11:10,467 --> 00:11:12,600
can extract these oils,
301
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,667
but a lower-proof alcohol
that's more drinkable,
302
00:11:15,667 --> 00:11:17,700
the oil does
not dissolve in it.
303
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:20,066
-It's pure CBD oil there.
-Man.
304
00:11:20,066 --> 00:11:21,700
[Henry]
Let's see if it'll dissolve.
305
00:11:21,700 --> 00:11:22,867
[Tickle]
It looks like it's mixing.
306
00:11:22,867 --> 00:11:24,667
[Henry] I see a few
little flakes in there.
307
00:11:24,667 --> 00:11:25,700
[Tickle] I don't like that.
308
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:27,500
Who the hell
is gonna buy that?
309
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:31,200
It's very unappetizing
to have an oily drink,
310
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,800
so we want to avoid that
311
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,100
in order to help Danielle make
the best moonshine possible.
312
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,000
So you's looking
maybe for a mash bill?
313
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,166
Or are you looking for
an infusion? Or...
314
00:11:40,166 --> 00:11:42,200
-What do you got in mind?
-I don't know,
maybe a little of both.
315
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,800
We gotta figure out
what works best.
316
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,166
It's gonna be a challenge.
317
00:11:45,166 --> 00:11:47,667
[Tickle] So we're gonna have
to extract the lavender oil.
318
00:11:47,667 --> 00:11:48,634
In order to do this,
319
00:11:48,634 --> 00:11:51,467
we're gonna need
a very high-proof alcohol.
320
00:11:51,467 --> 00:11:52,567
But we can make this
321
00:11:52,567 --> 00:11:55,600
taking some of Danielle's
shine that she's got here
322
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,567
and redistilling it
in a mini submarine pot
323
00:11:58,567 --> 00:12:00,100
that we built
several years ago
324
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:01,400
just for this purpose.
325
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,867
I don't know how good
this stuff's gonna be
in an alcohol,
326
00:12:04,867 --> 00:12:06,800
but I tell you what, if
anybody's gonna figure it out,
327
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,000
we're gonna do it.
328
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,467
Hell, let's go get it
and get started.
329
00:12:09,467 --> 00:12:10,667
-Well, let's go get it.
-Get that done.
330
00:12:10,667 --> 00:12:11,667
-[Danielle] Get 'er done.
-Let's do it!
331
00:12:11,667 --> 00:12:12,700
Hopefully it'll work.
332
00:12:21,166 --> 00:12:23,567
[Mark] I ain't never
come in this a-way.
333
00:12:23,567 --> 00:12:26,066
Ain't never had no reason to
until now.
334
00:12:26,066 --> 00:12:28,000
[Mark]
We had hoped against hope
335
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,467
that we wouldn't have to shut
down our entire operation,
336
00:12:31,467 --> 00:12:35,567
but we are under investigation
by law enforcement.
337
00:12:35,567 --> 00:12:38,000
I hope he ain't
got no damn cameras
338
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,266
on this side of the damn hill.
339
00:12:40,266 --> 00:12:43,567
Kelly knows a back way in
to the still site.
340
00:12:43,567 --> 00:12:46,166
It's just an old logging road
that's been there for years,
341
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:47,367
and we follow him in.
342
00:12:47,367 --> 00:12:49,700
He tells us we'll
not pass the game camera
343
00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,300
and, you know,
we'll get in there
344
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,200
and, sadly,
bring this site to an end.
345
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,767
[Mark] I hope, I hope
he ain't got no damn cameras
up through here.
346
00:13:04,767 --> 00:13:06,500
This is our only option,
old Hatty.
347
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:08,467
We gotta get the stuff
out of the way.
348
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,300
[Digger] You know, if there's
anything on the planet
349
00:13:11,300 --> 00:13:14,000
that I didn't want to happen,
it's this right here.
350
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,767
But we've made the decision,
351
00:13:15,767 --> 00:13:18,000
with the heat we've got on us,
it's too risky,
352
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,867
we're pulling the plug on
all operations at this point.
353
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:24,567
This really sucks.
354
00:13:24,567 --> 00:13:26,000
You're telling me.
355
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,700
At this point,
the walls are closing in,
356
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:31,767
and one false move
on our part,
357
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,200
we could get busted.
358
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:37,600
[groans] Oh.
359
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,166
Yeah, there's a reason
we don't use this road
coming and going.
360
00:13:40,166 --> 00:13:41,967
[Amanda] I see why.
361
00:13:41,967 --> 00:13:45,467
Our still site is way up
on top of a mountain,
362
00:13:45,467 --> 00:13:46,900
and this logging trail,
363
00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:48,667
it's a pretty rough back road.
364
00:13:48,667 --> 00:13:50,767
It's just not easy
to get in this way.
365
00:13:50,767 --> 00:13:52,400
[Mark] Man,
I hope your truck can make it,
366
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,400
because
I think we've lost Kelly.
367
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,000
Yeah, my damn truck tires
368
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,100
ain't gonna get
no traction through there,
369
00:13:58,100 --> 00:13:59,567
I'm sorry.
370
00:13:59,567 --> 00:14:02,000
Well, you know, when they cut
these fire roads in there,
371
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,667
they just bulldoze a route
for firefighters to get in
372
00:14:05,667 --> 00:14:07,000
when there's a wildfire.
373
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
There's a reason
we don't come up through here
on a regular basis.
374
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,300
We'd bust every jar
we tried to bring in here.
375
00:14:12,867 --> 00:14:14,800
It's not an easy ride,
376
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,266
but it beats
getting pulled over
377
00:14:16,266 --> 00:14:17,967
and going to jail.
378
00:14:17,967 --> 00:14:20,734
[Mark] I'd hate
to get stuck out here.
379
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,600
All right, here we are.
We're about to come out
to the still site.
380
00:14:26,767 --> 00:14:29,967
I think we lost Digger
a few minutes ago.
381
00:14:29,967 --> 00:14:32,767
Let's get this crap
out of here
as quick as we can.
382
00:14:32,767 --> 00:14:34,100
[Amanda] Okay.
383
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:37,767
Right now, our mission
is to remove any evidence
384
00:14:37,767 --> 00:14:41,000
that could get us
convicted of a crime.
385
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,867
Basically scrub all signs of
what we've been doing up here.
386
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:47,100
I'm gonna say we take this
all the way down
387
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:49,200
so it don't look like
it's ever been a furnace.
388
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,300
Okay.
389
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:52,400
Oh, I can't believe we're
having to do this, Amanda.
390
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,600
I know, Kelly.
391
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,767
[Kelly] You know, we're all
nervous as a bunch of cats
392
00:14:55,767 --> 00:14:57,567
in a rocking chair convention,
393
00:14:57,567 --> 00:14:59,667
so we're trying to
get this stuff out of here.
394
00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:01,500
You know, hopefully
we don't miss anything.
395
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:02,400
We don't want this
to come back
396
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,700
and bite us in the butt.
397
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:05,467
[Amanda] I'm constantly
learning new stuff, man,
398
00:15:05,467 --> 00:15:06,400
about making liquor,
399
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,867
but this is the
first time I'm learning
400
00:15:07,867 --> 00:15:09,767
how to really burn
a still site from the cops.
401
00:15:09,767 --> 00:15:11,266
If we can get
everything out of here,
402
00:15:11,266 --> 00:15:14,767
then that's one step closer
to our safety.
403
00:15:14,767 --> 00:15:17,867
This is the
make-or-break moment
right here, Amanda,
404
00:15:17,867 --> 00:15:19,266
in a lot of situations.
405
00:15:19,266 --> 00:15:23,700
This is technically a hunk of
metal if it won't hold water.
406
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:26,767
Mark and Digger taught me
this very valuable lesson
a long time ago.
407
00:15:26,767 --> 00:15:28,000
Got to know your loopholes.
408
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,367
Exactly. So we ready?
409
00:15:29,367 --> 00:15:30,367
Yeah.
410
00:15:37,166 --> 00:15:39,066
-Ouch.
-Technically a yard ornament.
411
00:15:39,066 --> 00:15:40,200
[Amanda] Did that hurt
a little bit, or what?
412
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,767
[Kelly]
It hurts my feelings bad.
413
00:15:41,767 --> 00:15:43,867
We got to get this stuff
loaded and get out of here.
414
00:15:43,867 --> 00:15:46,166
[Amanda]
There's a lot of stuff for us
to haul out of here right now.
415
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,200
I hope something didn't happen
to Digger's truck.
416
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,500
[Amanda]
That road was freaking rough.
417
00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:52,266
I don't know.
418
00:15:58,767 --> 00:16:01,100
Couldn't have picked a
prettier day to do a mash-in.
419
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:02,600
I heard that.
420
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,266
It's pretty and cold,
ain't it?
421
00:16:04,266 --> 00:16:07,300
So me and Jerry both took
two partial orders
422
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:09,000
without each other
knowing about it.
423
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,500
He took a peppermint shine.
424
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:12,300
I took an eggnog shine.
425
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,967
You ready to get some
sugar wash made up?
426
00:16:14,967 --> 00:16:16,233
Yep.
427
00:16:16,233 --> 00:16:18,100
And the reason we can do
two different flavors
at the same time
428
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:20,667
is because we mash in
a sugar wash.
429
00:16:20,667 --> 00:16:21,500
Fire it up.
430
00:16:22,667 --> 00:16:23,800
[yelps] Whoo!
431
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,266
Sugar, water, and yeast.
Odorless tasteless alcohol.
432
00:16:29,266 --> 00:16:32,467
That way, we can flavor any
type of alcohol you want to
433
00:16:32,467 --> 00:16:33,700
at the end of the run.
434
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:35,100
Is this getting warm?
435
00:16:35,967 --> 00:16:37,367
It's starting to.
436
00:16:37,367 --> 00:16:40,567
If we can go in there and
fire up this 350-gallon pot
one time
437
00:16:40,567 --> 00:16:44,000
and create two orders
of two different styles
438
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,100
and two different proofs,
439
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:46,900
that's a game changer for us.
440
00:16:46,900 --> 00:16:48,467
We've got steam, Jerry.
441
00:16:48,467 --> 00:16:50,000
Just throw 'er in the pot.
442
00:16:52,467 --> 00:16:53,867
[Mike]
It won't take long, will it?
443
00:16:53,867 --> 00:16:55,166
[Jerry] No, it won't.
444
00:16:55,166 --> 00:16:56,667
So, what we're doing right now
is we're actually
445
00:16:56,667 --> 00:16:58,967
heating up our water
via our steam pot.
446
00:16:58,967 --> 00:17:01,600
All we're doing is just
dropping the end of our hose
in the water
447
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,266
and what it does
is heat this water up
really quick for us,
448
00:17:04,266 --> 00:17:05,467
and then we have melted sugar.
449
00:17:06,767 --> 00:17:08,166
That got us melting fast,
ain't it?
450
00:17:08,166 --> 00:17:09,133
Yeah, it is.
451
00:17:09,133 --> 00:17:10,900
That's what happens
when it hits hot water.
452
00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:12,166
[Mike] Yep, buddy.
453
00:17:13,967 --> 00:17:17,266
Looky there,
dissolved into a simple syrup.
454
00:17:17,266 --> 00:17:18,767
The biggest thing,
important thing here
455
00:17:18,767 --> 00:17:21,867
is we get that sugar
dissolved into a liquid.
456
00:17:21,867 --> 00:17:23,867
It's less stressful
on the yeast
457
00:17:23,867 --> 00:17:26,667
to consume a liquid
than it is a granular.
458
00:17:26,667 --> 00:17:28,600
Well, steam worked
perfectly on that.
459
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,066
Then we'll transfer
that hot liquid, you know,
460
00:17:31,066 --> 00:17:33,266
clear syrup water over
into our pot
461
00:17:33,266 --> 00:17:34,367
and then fill it up.
462
00:17:35,467 --> 00:17:36,500
There we are, baby.
463
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:38,367
We can top that off
with water now.
464
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,000
There we go. We got water.
465
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,367
I'll grab that yeast.
466
00:17:43,367 --> 00:17:44,767
One of the things we're gonna
do this time of year
467
00:17:44,767 --> 00:17:46,367
is we'll actually use
a turbo yeast.
468
00:17:46,367 --> 00:17:48,800
You want to grab that paddle
and stir this one in?
469
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,100
[Jerry] You know,
just normal bread yeast,
470
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:51,667
they'll eat the sugars
and consume them,
471
00:17:51,667 --> 00:17:53,066
but they don't do it
real fast,
472
00:17:53,066 --> 00:17:54,667
and they don't
really put off a lot of heat
473
00:17:54,667 --> 00:17:56,100
because they're
not working as hard.
474
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:57,367
And by creating more heat,
475
00:17:57,367 --> 00:18:00,166
it's going to cause this mash
to work off a lot quicker.
476
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:02,567
I think she's stirred in
pretty good right there.
477
00:18:02,567 --> 00:18:03,600
[Mike] Looks good.
478
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,367
While me and Jerry
wait for the mash to work off
479
00:18:05,367 --> 00:18:06,700
and get ready to
rock and roll,
480
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:08,166
we're heading back to the shop
481
00:18:08,166 --> 00:18:10,300
to try to create this
valve system
482
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:12,200
and everything that we're
gonna put into our column
483
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,266
to make these two runs work.
484
00:18:14,266 --> 00:18:15,567
We'll make it happen, brother.
485
00:18:15,567 --> 00:18:16,767
[Jerry] Oh, yeah.
486
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:23,000
I got the condenser, Paige.
487
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,100
Let's do it.
488
00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:25,367
[Tickle] Well,
we're here in Tennessee
489
00:18:25,367 --> 00:18:28,000
and we're trying to make
a lavender moonshine
490
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,867
for Danielle Parton.
491
00:18:29,867 --> 00:18:31,166
First thing we need to do
492
00:18:31,166 --> 00:18:33,667
is extract all the oils
out of this lavender
493
00:18:33,667 --> 00:18:35,300
because that's
where the flavor is.
494
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:37,967
All right, I got my part in.
495
00:18:37,967 --> 00:18:40,667
Now, there are no barriers
in the illegal world,
496
00:18:40,667 --> 00:18:42,867
so we've experimented
a whole lot,
497
00:18:42,867 --> 00:18:44,700
and we've got
knowledge of techniques
498
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:47,266
that legal distillers
just don't know.
499
00:18:48,567 --> 00:18:49,967
[Henry] Not but one like it
in the world.
500
00:18:49,967 --> 00:18:51,133
I got that
little submarine still
501
00:18:51,133 --> 00:18:54,100
that we used several years ago
with some CBD extractions.
502
00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:56,567
-Ain't she pretty?
-Beautiful.
503
00:18:56,567 --> 00:18:58,500
-As long as it works.
-It'll work.
504
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:01,000
It'll hold 6 gallons
of Danielle's liquor.
505
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,400
We should produce 2 gallons
of that high-proof alcohol.
506
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,300
Put your burners down.
507
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:08,467
We're going to put
that 100-proof alcohol
508
00:19:08,467 --> 00:19:09,967
in our pot right here,
509
00:19:09,967 --> 00:19:11,367
and we can get, like,
510
00:19:11,367 --> 00:19:14,367
180-proof alcohol out
of this thing.
511
00:19:14,367 --> 00:19:17,166
We're going to basically
use it as a solvent
512
00:19:17,166 --> 00:19:19,700
to strip the essence
out of this lavender.
513
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,600
That's all right.
We got her now.
514
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:22,500
[Henry]
Get some alcohol in there.
515
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:23,967
You think you can
find any around here?
516
00:19:23,967 --> 00:19:25,367
-I got a little bit.
-[chuckles]
517
00:19:25,367 --> 00:19:27,200
Now, distilling
high-proof liquor
518
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,667
is very, very dangerous.
519
00:19:30,667 --> 00:19:33,567
The vapors off of this
are highly explosive.
520
00:19:33,967 --> 00:19:35,000
It's strong, man.
521
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,066
You damn sure don't want
a match around it.
522
00:19:37,066 --> 00:19:39,767
If it hits that open flame,
it'll blow all to hell.
523
00:19:39,767 --> 00:19:41,467
[Tickle]
You cannot use an open flame,
524
00:19:41,467 --> 00:19:43,266
so we use electric burners.
525
00:19:43,266 --> 00:19:46,100
But if there is a leak
and this gas gets out
526
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:49,300
and any spark or
ignition source hits that...
527
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:51,300
-Let's get the burners on.
-[Danielle] Okay,
let's plug 'er in.
528
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,266
Have you ever poured
5 gallons of gas on a bonfire
529
00:19:56,266 --> 00:19:57,400
and just lit it?
530
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,000
Well, that explosion
right there,
531
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,166
it's got nothing on
this explosion.
532
00:20:02,667 --> 00:20:04,400
There we go.
533
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,500
So long as we keep it between
75 and 85 degrees Celsius...
534
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:13,467
Ethanol has a boiling point
of 77 to 80 degrees Celsius.
535
00:20:13,467 --> 00:20:16,166
We've got to keep these
burners at that temperature.
536
00:20:16,166 --> 00:20:17,100
If we don't,
537
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:18,367
the water is going to start
to come over,
538
00:20:18,367 --> 00:20:19,433
and we do not want that.
539
00:20:19,433 --> 00:20:21,600
We're trying to strip
the alcohol from the water.
540
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,667
And that's what gives you
the high-proof
that we're looking for.
541
00:20:24,667 --> 00:20:25,767
[yelps] Uh-huh.
542
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:27,266
We ought to have
something any time now.
543
00:20:27,266 --> 00:20:28,233
[Paige] I can smell it, y'all.
544
00:20:28,233 --> 00:20:30,000
[Tickle] Bad time
to light a cigarette, huh?
545
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,500
Very bad time to.
546
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:33,967
-There we go.
-[man] There we go.
547
00:20:33,967 --> 00:20:35,367
-[Henry] Here we come.
-[Tickle] There it is.
548
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:37,166
[Danielle] Math happenin'.
549
00:20:37,166 --> 00:20:39,000
Throw some lavender in there
and see what we've got.
550
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,867
-[Tickle] Yeah, start steeping
that lavender in there...
-[Danielle] Let's do it.
551
00:20:40,867 --> 00:20:42,667
-Yeah.
-...getting some extraction.
552
00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:44,800
Let me see if I can't find
something to stir it with.
553
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,000
[Danielle]
I think that smells good.
554
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,166
[Henry] That's some
strong stuff, isn't it?
555
00:20:47,166 --> 00:20:48,467
Here we go.
556
00:20:48,467 --> 00:20:50,100
She turns purple quick.
557
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:51,667
[Paige] How long are you
supposed to let it steep?
558
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:52,600
[Henry] Ten minutes.
559
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,200
[Tickle] We check
our high proof-alcohol,
560
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,266
and we put the lavender
over in it.
561
00:20:56,266 --> 00:20:57,700
-All right.
-[Tickle] All right.
562
00:20:57,700 --> 00:21:01,700
We can actually see
the extraction happening.
563
00:21:01,700 --> 00:21:03,667
-[Henry] Oh, yeah. I think--
-[Danielle]
I think it's working.
564
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:05,000
I think we're gettin'
more out of it
565
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,667
than I thought
was gonna get out of it.
566
00:21:06,667 --> 00:21:08,266
Now let's squeeze that.
567
00:21:08,266 --> 00:21:10,500
[Henry] Yeah,
squeeze it tight.
568
00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:12,300
[Tickle] We can
watch the colors change.
569
00:21:12,300 --> 00:21:14,367
You can see the oil
coming out of it
570
00:21:14,367 --> 00:21:16,567
mixing with
this high-proof alcohol.
571
00:21:16,567 --> 00:21:17,700
Yeah, well, look at that.
572
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:20,166
It looks like it's got the oil
in it already, don't it?
573
00:21:20,166 --> 00:21:23,166
Because it's breaking
everything down
in this lavender.
574
00:21:23,166 --> 00:21:26,100
This right here is one of the
coolest things I've ever seen.
575
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:27,500
All right,
I think that's good.
576
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:29,200
[Henry] It's got this
strong lavender smell, too.
577
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,667
[Tickle] It does, too.
578
00:21:30,667 --> 00:21:33,266
Now I want this to work.
I really do.
579
00:21:33,266 --> 00:21:37,600
But the smell of this lavender
is extremely overpowering.
580
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,266
I've got serious doubts on how
this liquor is gonna taste.
581
00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:43,367
Well, that's the best y'all
have smelled all day.
582
00:21:43,367 --> 00:21:45,500
Well, take some of
your house mash with us?
583
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:46,967
Yes, sir.
584
00:21:46,967 --> 00:21:48,567
What our plan is now,
we're gonna take it,
585
00:21:48,567 --> 00:21:51,266
put it over in the thumper
and run some of her liquor,
586
00:21:51,266 --> 00:21:52,233
one of her mash bills,
587
00:21:52,233 --> 00:21:54,467
and let it come over
and pick up the essence
588
00:21:54,467 --> 00:21:56,400
and the flavors of
that lavender,
589
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,367
and, hopefully,
590
00:21:57,367 --> 00:21:59,200
that's exactly
what she's looking for.
591
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,867
[Tickle] All right,
set that pot back up...
592
00:22:00,867 --> 00:22:02,667
-[Danielle] Hope for the best.
-Hope for the best.
593
00:22:07,166 --> 00:22:08,400
[Digger] You got
to look at it this way.
594
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,066
We're not running
from the law.
595
00:22:10,066 --> 00:22:12,100
We're just getting
out of the way.
596
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:13,467
-[Mark] Okay.
-Yeah.
597
00:22:13,467 --> 00:22:14,767
[Mark] Yeah,
that might make me feel
598
00:22:14,767 --> 00:22:16,800
-a little better about myself.
-[Digger] Yeah.
599
00:22:18,467 --> 00:22:20,166
[Kelly]
We was worried about you.
600
00:22:20,166 --> 00:22:23,100
[Mark] We got away from youse
back theres a little bit.
601
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,567
Damn, it looks
like a furnace collapsed.
602
00:22:25,567 --> 00:22:26,767
[Kelly] It did.
603
00:22:26,767 --> 00:22:29,100
The chore right now is
to remove anything
604
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:31,467
that could be
considered contraband
605
00:22:31,467 --> 00:22:32,867
and send us to jail.
606
00:22:33,467 --> 00:22:35,000
That steel pot,
607
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,367
...the thumper
and the condenser,
608
00:22:36,367 --> 00:22:39,667
any ingredients,
any heaters, any burners.
609
00:22:39,667 --> 00:22:40,867
they gotta go.
610
00:22:40,867 --> 00:22:43,200
Let's put everything we can
in his truck
611
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,367
and knock this stuff down
and let you guys get going.
612
00:22:46,367 --> 00:22:49,266
We're moving with purpose.
We're not wasting our time.
613
00:22:49,266 --> 00:22:52,367
We know that time
is of the essence here.
614
00:22:52,367 --> 00:22:54,867
We've got to get out of here
as quickly as we can.
615
00:22:54,867 --> 00:22:57,000
[tense instrumental music]
616
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:00,600
[tense instrumental music]
617
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,100
Well, the way I feel right now
is like I'm at gunpoint.
618
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:06,266
Getting out of the way
of the law
619
00:23:06,266 --> 00:23:09,967
when you're doing
something illegal
at the same time,
620
00:23:09,967 --> 00:23:13,200
it really makes you think
twice about this business.
621
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,600
[Mark] When Digger and I
decided to expand
our business,
622
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,200
honestly, looking back,
623
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,500
that might not have been
such a good idea.
624
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:22,700
We got the potential here
of building us an empire.
625
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:26,467
I want to get from state line
to state line with liquor.
626
00:23:26,467 --> 00:23:29,800
Certainly, the bigger you get,
the more eyes you draw
to yourself.
627
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,567
So, you know, in hindsight,
maybe bigger isn't always best
628
00:23:34,567 --> 00:23:36,066
All right, let's get you
all loaded up.
629
00:23:36,066 --> 00:23:38,567
It may not always be this way.
630
00:23:38,567 --> 00:23:41,000
Push it on in there, Digger.
631
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,467
If this law enforcement
problem goes away,
632
00:23:44,467 --> 00:23:47,100
then, yeah, maybe we can
come back at some point.
633
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:49,900
-All right, see you guys
in a little while.
-[Amanda] Be safe.
634
00:23:51,166 --> 00:23:53,467
Let's get out of here, Kelly.
635
00:23:58,266 --> 00:24:00,066
[Jerry exhales]
Tell you what, Mike,
636
00:24:00,066 --> 00:24:02,600
I believe we get all this
put together
637
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,900
If this successfully works,
638
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:06,000
it's gonna be a game changer.
639
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,567
I do believe you right, man.
640
00:24:07,567 --> 00:24:09,400
You know,
one of the challenges
me and Mike's got right now
641
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,867
is we got
two different orders
at two different proofs.
642
00:24:11,867 --> 00:24:15,100
It would save us a lot of
time, money, headache, energy,
643
00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:16,900
if we could do it all
in one shot.
644
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:19,266
You know what's gonna be cool
as all get out, man, to have,
645
00:24:19,266 --> 00:24:21,467
you know, two different
jar rigs on there
646
00:24:21,467 --> 00:24:24,367
doing two different flavors
at the same time,
647
00:24:24,367 --> 00:24:25,667
one coming off of
a higher proof
648
00:24:25,667 --> 00:24:27,767
and one coming off of
the lower proof.
649
00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:30,166
[narrator] To make two liquors
at different proofs
650
00:24:30,166 --> 00:24:31,867
during a single run,
651
00:24:31,867 --> 00:24:36,200
Mike and Jerry
will install a valve module
at the base of the column,
652
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,700
splitting the alcohol vapor
into two paths.
653
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:44,600
The first will send vapor
straight from the pot
into a copper arm
654
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,266
through a spice-packed jar rig
and into a condenser,
655
00:24:48,266 --> 00:24:51,000
yielding a lower proof
eggnog shine
656
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,100
with just one distillation.
657
00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:57,367
The second path
lets vapor rise
through the column,
658
00:24:57,367 --> 00:25:03,000
condensing and re-vaporizing
across perforated plates
to increase in proof.
659
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,200
It will then pass through
another jar rig packed with
candy canes,
660
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,266
creating a high-proof
peppermint shine.
661
00:25:11,266 --> 00:25:15,300
So, right above this,
we're gonna have
this module right here.
662
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:17,266
-Yup.
-[Jerry]...to the valve.
663
00:25:17,266 --> 00:25:18,734
So, this will go right here
in the middle.
664
00:25:18,734 --> 00:25:20,967
-[Mike grunts]
-[Jerry] So, we can actually
control the amount of steam--
665
00:25:20,967 --> 00:25:23,667
We can shut this on and off
as little or as much
as we want to.
666
00:25:23,667 --> 00:25:26,867
So, we can control
what goes up and what goes out
the bottom.
667
00:25:26,867 --> 00:25:29,166
The column is set up
with modules,
668
00:25:29,166 --> 00:25:30,500
and it's different sections.
669
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:32,800
We're gonna
tap into the bottom
of this column,
670
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:33,967
valve system in there.
671
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:37,066
[Jerry] That'll let
a little steam through.
672
00:25:37,066 --> 00:25:38,667
Half of the steam's
getting higher in proof,
673
00:25:38,667 --> 00:25:40,266
half of it's getting lower
in proof.
674
00:25:40,266 --> 00:25:41,967
[upbeat instrumental music]
675
00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:44,300
-We're close.
-[Jerry] I like that one.
676
00:25:45,900 --> 00:25:48,367
My God, that's all the money,
ain't it?
677
00:25:51,767 --> 00:25:54,100
[mimics inhaling]
678
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:56,867
[slurps, laughs]
679
00:25:56,867 --> 00:25:59,467
I don't make one
to toot on with it.
680
00:26:01,367 --> 00:26:03,567
You know, one good thing
about this gate valve
being in place
681
00:26:03,567 --> 00:26:05,567
is that we're gonna be able
to adjust this on the fly,
682
00:26:05,567 --> 00:26:09,367
as needed. So, if we see
that one jar rig's getting
more pressure than the other,
683
00:26:09,367 --> 00:26:12,800
all we gotta do
is simply either open it up
or close it, one of the two,
684
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,000
and we'll have
a lot of stability
with that gate valve
685
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,033
in both the jar rigs.
686
00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:20,166
It's gonna be
a steam-regulating
machine, son.
687
00:26:20,166 --> 00:26:21,500
You know, this still comes out
a lot more flexible
688
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:24,066
to do whatever we need
for our customers.
689
00:26:24,066 --> 00:26:27,266
Take this bad boy
and put it on top of there,
like that.
690
00:26:27,266 --> 00:26:29,266
-Then, we just barely
crack this thing.
-Crank it. [whistles]
691
00:26:29,266 --> 00:26:32,166
Let it start warming up
and going, traveling over.
692
00:26:32,166 --> 00:26:33,767
Then, mine will start running
by the time.
693
00:26:33,767 --> 00:26:35,367
-Yup.
-We're playing it just right,
694
00:26:35,367 --> 00:26:37,400
-we'll be done
at the same time.
-Done at the same time.
695
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,767
[Jerry] I'm excited, man.
696
00:26:38,767 --> 00:26:40,500
Now that we got
all this stuff built,
697
00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:43,567
now it's time to get it
in the woods and run it
for its maiden voyage
698
00:26:43,567 --> 00:26:45,066
and just see
how well it works.
699
00:26:45,066 --> 00:26:47,467
Well, by golly, we're ready
to get this thing
to the woods now.
700
00:26:47,467 --> 00:26:50,767
It's time to go, son.
I tell you, our mash
is ready to rock and roll.
701
00:26:50,767 --> 00:26:52,300
-Let's do this, son.
-Let's go.
702
00:26:58,700 --> 00:26:59,767
[Tickle] All right.
703
00:26:59,767 --> 00:27:02,100
He's gonna tell his story,
is he gonna work or not?
704
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:05,467
We're trying to create
a lavender moonshine
for Danielle Parton.
705
00:27:05,467 --> 00:27:08,967
Fortunately, Danielle
has some family land
around here
706
00:27:08,967 --> 00:27:12,000
that we can go
and run this stuff outside.
707
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,767
Now, the reason we're running
this stuff outside, because
it's extremely dangerous.
708
00:27:16,767 --> 00:27:20,166
It is still
a high-proof spirit
with an open flame.
709
00:27:20,166 --> 00:27:21,467
Plus, let's be honest,
710
00:27:21,467 --> 00:27:24,000
I really don't want to be
in an enclosed building
711
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,266
with this much lavender scent
for too long.
712
00:27:27,266 --> 00:27:29,166
-God damn, it smells strong.
-There's a smell to it.
713
00:27:29,166 --> 00:27:32,600
-Mmm, that smells good,
don't it, H?
-[Henry] Mmm-hmm.
714
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,767
[Tickle] We've got
our lavender essence.
715
00:27:34,767 --> 00:27:36,667
We're gonna put this stuff
in the doubler
716
00:27:36,667 --> 00:27:38,800
and, hopefully,
that pulls some flavor
717
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,100
and aroma through
to the finished product.
718
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:43,100
And we might oughta
throw some water
on that, Henry,
719
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:45,166
-before we light this flame.
-Yeah, man. I got ya.
720
00:27:45,166 --> 00:27:48,567
[Tickle] We've got to be
very careful with this run
because we do have
721
00:27:48,567 --> 00:27:51,000
a 180-proof alcohol involved.
722
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Light that baby up.
723
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,667
Throw the fire into it then.
724
00:27:53,667 --> 00:27:54,367
All right.
725
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:00,100
Labyrinth time.
726
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:02,667
Well, she done worked out,
that's for sure.
727
00:28:02,667 --> 00:28:05,166
-[Henry] And that's one of
your main mash bills.
-[Danielle] Mmm-hmm.
728
00:28:05,166 --> 00:28:06,900
So, I know that my mash
is a good mash
729
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:09,567
'cause I use it
for all my flavors
in the distillery.
730
00:28:09,567 --> 00:28:12,900
What I don't know
is what this lavender extract
is gonna do to it.
731
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:14,667
I don't know if,
when we heat it up,
732
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:17,000
it's gonna be too much heat
for the extract,
733
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,800
or we're gonna get that bitter
carrying through
734
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,767
-We don't put that cap on it.
-Mmm-hmm.
735
00:28:20,767 --> 00:28:22,000
-Nothing. All will boil off.
-Mmm-hmm.
736
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,166
So, you don't have to
worry about it getting
in the system.
737
00:28:24,166 --> 00:28:25,400
[Tickle] Yup, there she goes!
738
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,600
[upbeat instrumental music]
739
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,000
I've got a few concerns
with how this liquor
will turn out.
740
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
If we over-extract these oils
out of the lavender,
741
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,266
our liquor is gonna be bitter.
742
00:28:35,266 --> 00:28:38,767
Now, if these oils
don't mix properly
with the alcohol,
743
00:28:38,767 --> 00:28:41,100
we'll have an oily residue
on top.
744
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:42,400
I just hope it tastes good.
745
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,166
-[Tickle] That's what
we're trying to figure out.
-[man] Yeah.
746
00:28:44,166 --> 00:28:47,867
And to be honest,
even if we get
all these things right,
747
00:28:47,867 --> 00:28:50,066
I'm not sure
lavender is a flavor
748
00:28:50,066 --> 00:28:52,200
that people are even gonna
wanna drink in moonshine.
749
00:28:52,767 --> 00:28:54,200
I can tell you right now,
750
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,433
-something's happening,
'cause she's coming over.
-[Tickle] It's hot?
751
00:28:55,433 --> 00:28:57,867
-This is gonna work.
I have full faith.
-Is that right?
752
00:28:57,867 --> 00:29:00,367
[gas hissing]
753
00:29:02,667 --> 00:29:04,367
-[Tickle] Lookie yonder!
-[Henry] There you go, Dani.
754
00:29:04,367 --> 00:29:05,667
-She's rolling, ain't she?
-She's atomic.
755
00:29:05,667 --> 00:29:06,767
[Danielle] There we go!
756
00:29:06,767 --> 00:29:08,367
Magic is happening.
757
00:29:08,367 --> 00:29:12,066
Well, here it is.
It's finally started
dripping and running.
758
00:29:12,066 --> 00:29:13,567
[Henry] Check it out, Dani.
759
00:29:13,567 --> 00:29:15,266
[tense instrumental music]
760
00:29:15,266 --> 00:29:16,367
All right, y'all ready?
761
00:29:16,367 --> 00:29:18,567
I was ready, baby.
Been a long time coming.
762
00:29:24,467 --> 00:29:25,467
[instrumental bluegrass music]
763
00:29:25,467 --> 00:29:26,767
[Tickle] Lookie yonder!
764
00:29:26,767 --> 00:29:28,400
-There you go, Dani.
-She's rolling, ain't she?
765
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,667
-[Henry] She's atomic.
-[Danielle] There we go.
766
00:29:29,667 --> 00:29:33,467
Well, here it is.
It's finally started
dripping and running.
767
00:29:33,467 --> 00:29:35,200
-[Henry] Check it out, Dani.
-All right, y'all ready?
768
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,166
I was ready, baby.
Been a long time coming.
769
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,667
[music fades out]
770
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:42,767
Mmm-hmm.
771
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:45,500
It's not overpowering,
772
00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:48,000
and I think it's something
I can take back with me
to the distillery,
773
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,166
all the lessons
that we've learned.
774
00:29:50,166 --> 00:29:51,800
It's exactly
what I want it to be,
775
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,867
enough lavender flavor,
but not overpowering lavender,
and not bitter.
776
00:29:55,867 --> 00:29:57,100
-[Henry] We think--
-Wow!
777
00:29:57,100 --> 00:29:58,567
The flavor is there.
778
00:29:58,567 --> 00:30:00,066
It's not overpowering.
779
00:30:00,066 --> 00:30:03,166
So, I think this is
a perfect base for me to go
work with in my distillery
780
00:30:03,166 --> 00:30:05,367
to turn it into
a commercial product.
781
00:30:05,367 --> 00:30:06,500
I like it.
782
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:09,266
I think I can make
a slew of cocktails with this.
783
00:30:09,266 --> 00:30:11,200
My imagination is fulfilled.
784
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,166
You know, Danielle
might be onto something
785
00:30:13,166 --> 00:30:15,367
with this lavender moonshine
right here.
786
00:30:15,367 --> 00:30:17,567
It'll be hard to get it
any better than that.
787
00:30:17,567 --> 00:30:18,800
It's pretty good
788
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,867
If we start making this
out in the backwoods,
789
00:30:20,867 --> 00:30:23,867
we could have
the illegal market
driving the legal market,
790
00:30:23,867 --> 00:30:27,467
as well as the legal market
driving the illegal market.
791
00:30:27,467 --> 00:30:29,166
This could be a win-win
for everybody.
792
00:30:29,166 --> 00:30:30,600
Well, I tell you,
it is pretty good.
793
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,367
You're being awfully selfish
with that jar over there.
794
00:30:32,367 --> 00:30:36,367
It's a brand new product,
right? I mean, you oughta
let a man try it.
795
00:30:40,066 --> 00:30:41,600
[upbeat instrumental music]
796
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,600
[exhales] Damn,
you smell that?
797
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,300
-Smell that alcohol,
can't you?
-[whoops]
798
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:49,667
Now is the time. We're heading
to the woods to make
our two runs of alcohol,
799
00:30:49,667 --> 00:30:52,667
high-proof peppermint
and low-proof eggnog.
800
00:30:52,667 --> 00:30:54,967
Let's get some still parts
in here and get
this column built.
801
00:30:54,967 --> 00:30:57,266
Yeah, we gotta get
everything put together.
802
00:30:57,266 --> 00:31:00,467
Today, we're gonna be running
two different jar rigs
with two different condensers.
803
00:31:00,467 --> 00:31:02,967
One of the new little
additions, ain't it?
804
00:31:02,967 --> 00:31:05,367
Nice little T-connector
going in.
805
00:31:05,367 --> 00:31:07,500
So, we're running the eggnog
off of the lower jar rig,
806
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:10,467
which, automatically,
that's gonna be a lower proof.
807
00:31:10,467 --> 00:31:13,600
And with that valve
in the middle, we can
open that on up a little,
808
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,700
let it run up to the top,
which, that's gonna be reflux,
and as it goes up the column,
809
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:22,066
and producing
the higher proof alcohol
for Jerry's peppermint shine.
810
00:31:22,066 --> 00:31:24,166
That valve right there is
very simple,
811
00:31:24,166 --> 00:31:27,300
but yet very essential
to what we're gonna be
doing here today.
812
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:31,100
-[Jerry]
Wanna hold it right there?
-[Mike] Yeah, I got it.
813
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:32,700
You know, every time
we add something
to this still, you know,
814
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:33,867
we're definitely making it
more complicated.
815
00:31:33,867 --> 00:31:36,166
But it's given us
a lot more features
816
00:31:36,166 --> 00:31:37,800
that, really,
no other still's got.
817
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,567
Eggnog coming off
on that side.
818
00:31:39,567 --> 00:31:42,166
-We got some good old
peppermint on this side.
-Peppermint on that side.
819
00:31:42,166 --> 00:31:44,967
-Low-proof and high-proof.
-[Mike] Well, it's ready
to fire up baby.
820
00:31:44,967 --> 00:31:46,900
[intriguing
instrumental music]
821
00:31:46,900 --> 00:31:48,367
The way we're gonna infuse
the flavors
822
00:31:48,367 --> 00:31:51,200
is just like any other time
we're out here
running this pot.
823
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,500
I've got damn allspice,
824
00:31:52,500 --> 00:31:56,367
I've got nutmeg, cinnamon,
vanilla bean, clove.
825
00:31:56,367 --> 00:31:58,166
I'm just gonna drop it
in the jars,
826
00:31:58,166 --> 00:32:02,166
let it infuse nice and slow,
and get that lower proof
827
00:32:02,166 --> 00:32:04,767
eggnog flavor
that we're looking for.
828
00:32:04,767 --> 00:32:07,100
I believe this is gonna be
a good peppermint shine
right here.
829
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:08,500
The candy cane shine.
830
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:11,367
Lookie yonder, we got steam
going into the eggnog.
831
00:32:11,367 --> 00:32:13,100
We got liquor, Jerry!
832
00:32:13,867 --> 00:32:15,000
[Jerry] Lookie there!
Lookie there!
833
00:32:16,367 --> 00:32:18,567
Boy, smell that aroma.
834
00:32:18,567 --> 00:32:19,567
Smells good.
835
00:32:19,567 --> 00:32:21,767
I mean, that smells
like Christmas time.
836
00:32:21,767 --> 00:32:23,967
-We'll dump these heads out.
-Get rid of it.
837
00:32:23,967 --> 00:32:26,767
Now, we got our eggnog
running pretty smooth here.
838
00:32:26,767 --> 00:32:28,667
Let's let some steam go, baby.
839
00:32:28,667 --> 00:32:30,967
We're gonna open the valve up
a little bit more,
840
00:32:30,967 --> 00:32:32,700
let that steam travel
up that column,
841
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:35,266
and get Jerry's
peppermint jars to dancing.
842
00:32:35,266 --> 00:32:36,867
-[gas hissing]
-[Jerry] You hear that?
843
00:32:36,867 --> 00:32:38,667
You can hear it rattling
up through there.
844
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:41,166
Seems like it's traveling
pretty good. Are you still
running over there?
845
00:32:41,166 --> 00:32:44,066
Still running over there,
looking good.
846
00:32:44,066 --> 00:32:46,400
-We got alcohol.
-[Mike] Got a little liquid
in there.
847
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:47,166
We're just gonna do...
848
00:32:47,166 --> 00:32:48,433
Ooh, it's hot.
849
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:50,600
-It's just about at the bottom
of the thump post.
-[Mike] Hmm.
850
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,000
We got liquor on it here, man.
851
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,567
-[Mike] Liquor, liquor!
-[Jerry] It's there.
852
00:32:55,567 --> 00:32:56,767
[Mike] Pepperminty!
853
00:32:56,767 --> 00:32:59,166
See what it smells like.
854
00:32:59,166 --> 00:33:03,467
By God, that, right there,
is high-proof
dry peppermint alcohol.
855
00:33:03,467 --> 00:33:07,567
I tell you what, man,
these jars are starting to do
their thing on both sides now.
856
00:33:07,567 --> 00:33:11,367
-Here we go, brother.
-[Jerry] Yes, sir.
857
00:33:11,367 --> 00:33:13,867
That's two clear jars
right there, baby.
858
00:33:13,867 --> 00:33:17,266
I'm gonna tell you what,
either one of these customers
are gonna be tickled to death.
859
00:33:17,266 --> 00:33:19,467
Let's get 'em down there
and see.
860
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:23,900
-Oh, my God.
Dude, that smells.
-[exclaims]
861
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,100
[Mike] Mmm.
862
00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:30,100
-What do you think?
-Surprisingly pleasant.
863
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:31,467
-[Jerry] You like that?
-Oh, it's good.
864
00:33:31,467 --> 00:33:33,100
-[Jerry] Well, here--
-Tastes like a spiced rum.
865
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:35,100
No. Hell, no. Wait a minute!
866
00:33:35,100 --> 00:33:37,400
I'm liking these flavors
coming through here.
867
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,800
And it's in a clear jar.
868
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,700
I think the only thing
that's made me sick
with eggnog
869
00:33:41,700 --> 00:33:43,400
is the thick sweetness of it,
870
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,000
because the taste right here
that I'm tasting,
871
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,867
I believe anybody would drink.
872
00:33:47,867 --> 00:33:49,166
What do you think about
the double peppermint?
873
00:33:49,166 --> 00:33:51,600
I smell it coming off the jar
right now.

Son, that is high-proof.
877
00:33:58,300 --> 00:34:00,600
This peppermint shine,
I'll tell you what,
it's right on the money.
878
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,500
It's got just a little bit
of sweetness from that candy
of the candy cane.
879
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:05,867
It's got the peppermint taste.
880
00:34:05,867 --> 00:34:07,700
It's very pungent.
881
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:10,867
I'm gonna tell you what,
this customer is sure
to be delighted.
882
00:34:10,867 --> 00:34:12,767
To eggnog
and peppermint, baby.
883
00:34:12,767 --> 00:34:13,734
Two runs!
884
00:34:13,734 --> 00:34:15,900
-On one thing of mash.
-Two different proofs.
885
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,200
There you go.
886
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,667
[Mike] Me and Jerry's
been through the wringer
this year, man.
887
00:34:19,667 --> 00:34:21,300
Our still's been blowed up.
888
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:23,767
We've had to go down
to Mississippi and back.
889
00:34:23,767 --> 00:34:26,066
We went through
Hurricane Helene.
890
00:34:26,066 --> 00:34:27,367
The whole nine yards, man.
891
00:34:27,367 --> 00:34:30,000
But here we are,
dead of winter,
892
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,667
running the best liquor
of our time.
893
00:34:32,667 --> 00:34:37,166
The potential is endless
for this still, and for what
we can do coming up.
894
00:34:37,166 --> 00:34:39,166
We're gonna change
the moonshine world for good.
895
00:34:39,166 --> 00:34:40,567
Y'all better watch out.
896
00:34:40,567 --> 00:34:42,767
Yeah, we better cool it
on the drinking, son.
897
00:34:42,767 --> 00:34:44,767
We got a long night
ahead of us.
898
00:34:44,767 --> 00:34:45,900

we've had to clean out
all these still spots,

00:34:58,300 --> 00:34:59,767

it would have come to this?
-[Digger] Yeah.

I wouldn't have,
but yet here we are.

I ain't never been
to this place. Have you?
906

[Digger] Yeah, been years ago.
Jeff's got a barn.
907
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,367
We can put some stuff there.
908
00:35:16,367 --> 00:35:19,000
[Mark] I mean, I'm worried
about me and you,
909
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,100
but I'm worried about
all of our teams.
910

We're the ones that got 'em
in this situation.
911

that's gotta be done,
we gotta take it on our own.

and I understand.

they don't want any holes,
no matter what size they are,

in that liquor still

I can figure out,

when we weren't looking.

that just something as simple
as this
1000
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:19,367
means the difference
in incarceration and freedom.
1001
00:41:20,367 --> 00:41:22,800
But, you know, come spring...
1002
00:41:23,500 --> 00:41:24,667
we'll be back.
