So what's the best way to store moonshine?

The proper way to store a banjo is with a trash compactor. icon_biggrin.gif:D-->

Oh, you said you were serious...

Okay, detune all the strings a half-step lower. You want to maintain close to the original playing pressure on the neck and bridge, but leave a little room for temperature expansion. Use a case humidifier to keep the head from cracking and the wood from drying out. Store the case flat on its back, never on its side or standing up. icon_smile.gif:)-->

Do you know a really good way of "smoothing" cheap whiskey?

I was shown long ago, to cut cheap harsh burning whiskey with a little bit of 'Southern Comfort'. It works too. I buy 'military special', or 'Thames River' whiskeys (which are basically the local version of cheap-generic. They tend to be a little hard on the throat though. By mixing maybe one gigger of Southern Comfort into a fifth of rott-gut, if comes out smooth.

In my home, overseas we always stocked the good stuff. Since returning stateside, I was serving 'Chivas' or 'Crown Royal', as we have found the good whiskeys to be so expensive. But recently I have been stocking my decanters with this even less-expensive version.

Try some?
