Moonshiners: American Spirit

Tim and Tickle head to Kentucky to investigate the legend behind Elijah Craigs invention of bourbon whiskey in 1789. Sourcing old-school ingredients and equipment, they attempt to become the first in two centuries to taste Americas original bourbon.

Tim and Tickle head to Chicago in search of Al Capones lost Prohibition gin. As Howard builds a prohibition-era pot still and barters for a 1920s clawfoot bathtub, the three shiners start a run hoping to taste the lost spirit a century after its heyday.

Tim lures Tickle to Kentucky on a quest to unearth the origins of sour mash whiskey and why it changed American distilling forever. With help from Howard and Art, they build a period-correct pot still to recreate a recipe nearly two centuries-old.
