Not sure how to ask this question correctly. I have only had a sip of real shine about 30 years ago and have been drinking store bought stuff for the last few years. I know store shine isn't really considered real shine, so I have no idea on what real shine should taste like. The only non-flavored store bought that I have had is made by a certain "moonshiner gone legal" and I am not too partial on the taste. I am working on building my still and after my vinegar and sacrificial runs I was planning on doing something like Gerber or Birdwatchers which hopefully will be the most simple for a first run. What flavors should I be looking for as I test it throughout the run.
I want to get it right before I start trying to make watermelon shine, which my wife has been begging for.
How to tell if your shine tastes good?
