I remember having his moonshine in the house as a kid. Living in Maggie Valley NC, my mom used it for when we had colds. I can remember him driving down the valley. We'd all stop and watch that old 32 Ford pickup until we couldn't see in anymore. A true legend in the valley.
I can imagine growing up and getting blackout drunk whenever you get a cold
You should have tried the other clear he made. 😳
ive been to maggie valley a couple times and i love it.i didnt know they used to have moonshine there lol.
@@rory.a5360 there's moonshine all in these mountains
Lmao 😂!!
JB looks just like Popcorn now.
John Smith and drink rot gut whisky your entire life.
westbender 820 I was referring to strong alcohol
I thought the same...bring on the conspiracy theories
JB looks like a few years older JB .no one Els .
I was so blessed to be part of the filming of Popcorn Suttons last dam run of likker he truly was a legend i still have half a jar of the shine he made on a shelf in my house sealed in wax never to be touched again
Finding an old jar of popcorns liquor would be the equivalent to finding the holy grail. It's so valuable now it's crazy
I have an unopened gallon that he made in 2005 that my grandpa gave me when he died.
@@projectpat2262 take you a half tea cup of that lacker(liquor) you'll be rolling around in the bushes
@D3M0BST3R we already know this but it's still entertaining
@@terrywilson1813 no, the show is fake but popcorn really did make shine. He is a legend and did have charges on him for making likker
@@projectpat2262 you interested in selling it?
Knowing popcorn, he hid a few gallons in his stomach before he passed.
To think that there are random jars of alcohol out there somewhere still sittin exactly where Popcorn put em, and KNOWING the type of man he was, just gets me😂
I guarantee you that there’s at least one pint jar in some stump or log or buried somewhere on Snowbird Mountain that hasn’t been touched in my lifetime. Popcorn hid it so good even he couldn’t find it. 😂
I've had Digger's shine and if it was anything like Suttons then there is no doubt it was the best ever made.
back when i was in high school in '10 I saw popcorn sutton's documentary of his last damn run of likker. I dont mean any dissrespect to Popcorn, but we cant honestly say he made the best shine ever (that said it probably is one of the best in our days), but we do know he was the last legitimate moonshiner. Killed himself when the feds came to take him to prison. He was one of those legitimate American icon's that we can have the pleasure to say we shared the same timeframe with, him and Johnny Cash.
@@RedMojaveBraveUSMC he had been diagnosed with cancer as well so he decided his time was up regardless.
This is like a gta side mission 🤔
@Crazy Comedy or a read dead mission
@@driptroll4754 i thought the same lmao
Same lol
Same wtf😏
Same not
Aww. R.I.P Popcorn. remember watching his documentary just before he passed what a Awesome fella. great stories and a true gentleman. respect and love from the UK
What was the documentary, if you don't mind me asking
@@CommentAndFavorite "last damn run of likker I'll ever make" its on CZcams I believe
I’d buy a jar simply to put on the mantle in honor of Popcorn 🌹
Hope you know this show is fake btw
Juan Rios so popcorn wasn’t he was at it for years before this show
I make drinking likker. Not looking likker- Popcorn
@@glock1inthetop45 hahahah that will be your little secret say it twice it will make you feel better
First it would have to be authenticated that Popcorn made it plus he did not make the best shine I ever drank.
Was expecting them to go on a wild goose chase but they ACTUALLY found some of popcorn’s shine that’s wild
3:08, *kicks the mans door down* ‘well, there’s a lot of history to this place’
To me it doesn't matter if it's true or false because it makes her happy thinking that popcorn's moonshine lives on out there...!!!
I can't trust anybody else (cept' y'all and all these camérmen and pérducshun peoples)
Lol. You know damn well they bottled up some liquor, went into popcorn’s house, replaced the boards and hid it, then came upon it like “oh hey, look, these boards are different” lol
For real it’s even in the exact same jugs they use
Plus the sharpie writing on it
I still remember the pint of popcorn shine I got years after he passed away... haven't had anything close to it since. My wife gave it to me for birthday present. Had popcorn shine and it has a taste to it you won't forget.😊
You know I'm at the point in my life where I pretty much feel like I have seen and heard at all but listening to Mark and Digger watching some of these old videos has brought a smile and a couple laughs out of me and I'm telling you I can't remember the last time I smiled or laughed but some of the s*** that comes out of their mouth has made me laugh
Deep
These videos motivated me to build my own still from the crap in my garage. I started turning out triple distilled 90% and it was very fun
Even triple run your probably pushing 140 proof if you are running a pot still, not 180.
Funny thing is, if you want a beverage Id aim for a lower like 60, 100 max. Its the water with the alcohol that absorbs or carries flavour.
@@totallylegalshit7579
Well excuse me for embellishing, it was 89.5% and A hydrometer doesn’t lie, neither do I. If you don’t believe me I could hardly give a shit.
@@grahamwagner1880 actually if you got 89.5 im really impressed. Sorry if I came off like an ass, I can do that at times.
Did you build a reflux still or just a pot still?
I always had heard it was near impossible to break 75% with a pot still, and you needed a proper reflux with plates get near 90.
Am I wrong? Educate me, because I'd love to build a better still on the cheap.
@@totallylegalshit7579 ok. I used an old stainless steel pressure cooker with some old copper line for a hot water tank. I found it all in my garage that my dad left behind years ago. I started watching the show “moonshiners” and realized they were giving hints at the end of every episode. I replaced the valves with attachments for the copper tubing and a plug for a meat thermometer. I set my temperature low but gauged it with a laser thermometer to get it right. I just let it drip, never a stream, while I sat at the table keeping an eye on it and tasting it once in a while to separate heads, body and tails. I then would distil the body 2 more times and my product was done. I certainly didn’t expect to get that high quality but my father told me about sugar-shine. Get turbo yeast and nothing but water and sugar, in 5 days you are ready to cook… and I didn’t mean to imply you were rude, so the apology is all mine brother. Have fun with this info sir🙂
@@grahamwagner1880 i run a similar setup, but I switched from a pressure cooker to a giant stock pot that I seal with flower paste.
One improvement I made over my last still was to have a way bigger lline leaving my kettl, reducing down to my half inch line for my worm. Got the idea from old school still, think the parts called a "lynn arm".
Condenses vapour before the line, sped up my drip but stayed just as potent.
Next im going to add a thumper, maybe 2.
You have fun as well, thanks for the tips.
RIP Popcorn.
Mr Moonshine.
Vicki Diana Coghlan NOOOO
They could literally just make some liquor and have his wife vouch for them and say it was a lost batch of Popcorns liquor and ppl wouldn’t question it. Lol
those jars looks pretty clean for sitting there for 20 years almost
Also the spider webs are all around them but not on the bottles themselves.
@@BenRajan
Alcohol got on his drawers when it was being filled up.. spidys hate alky hall
I have family that makes moonshine down in Kantuckee and I just want to say that while Popcorn was 100% legit, he wasn't the ONLY actual moonshiner left. He was however one of the last remaining OG's left that used to run moonshine the old school way and fr is a living legend. However, everyone and there mother with legit relatives there knows where to find the stuff so I would imagine there is still some kick a** moonshine rolling around. In Kentucky, living in those mountains it's not like you can just run down the road to the corner store... well, you can but that "corner store" will be about 10-15 miles MINIMUM if you are lucky. Realistically 20-40 miles, and that's driving slow speeds of 25-35 mph navigating up and down hills. So, you have to make do with what you have as best as you have it. It's all about sustainability and a far less reliance on outside resources compared to other places. I don't think many people understand how isolated these mountain treks and backroads can get. Those Appalachians are freaking huge. When you can see for dozens of miles and you don't see s*** for civilization, the mountain dew coming up as the sun increases the temp outside, and the sounds of nature are echoing down the valley... you know exactly where you're supposed to be and where you're not all at the same time lol. At least you can look around and admire the beautiful works of art that nature has provided for you to ponder upon as you stand there lost as f***.
Are you black or something feller cause you sure talk like it lol
"Be a good boy... thats merely a suggestion if ya can't" HAHAHA
They're like characters from red dead redemption who tarveled 2 the future
Perfect Rockstar voice actors
Jr. Johnson , and Dale Earnhardt were MOONSHINERS . My daddy used to go there to get his liquor. Also Sam Brawley was in the movie about Jr.Johnson running liquor. The movie was made up in Wilkesboro NC and some of it was filmed at Sam Brawleys garage here in Mooresville NC. Dale Jr. lives right out Shinnville road 10 minutes from my house.
Think you need to get out the house more
Wow imagine that. Bottled and looking fresh and clean when everything else is dusty
In boxes with a cardboard cover?
"when we got married we talked about the what ifs and he told me he buried 60 gallons of moonshine somewhere but didnt tell me where" wtf was the point of the conversation then? Was she suppose to open up a work camp for troubled teens and have them dig a 6 by 6 hole?
I love the south, and I think the stereotypes that they're stupid are largely untrue. But sometimes....sometimes it's true.
Nice holes references
You’ve got to go and dig those holes..
😂🤷🏻 good movie. You right
@@thelastmanonearth2631 Lol you think just the south has a patent on being dumb? Have you looked around lately??
You thirsty Stanley?
I remember as a kid going to one of my step-dads friends houses and they gave me a glass of "water" that I drank in 2 gulps.... It was straight moonshine and I literally passed out about 30 minutes later. 🤣🤣
Then they went to town on your bottom?
@@sassythesasquatch1571 😂 🤣 🔥
@@sassythesasquatch1571 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@sassythesasquatch1571 foul
Straight Moonshine OG’s. I’d love to spend a weekend with these boys and make some shine
I can hear this accent all day😃
It’s definitely some fine shine I’ve had some . Mr Popcorn was the man
I love their values, they are good people!
“There’s liquor in these walls” makes me think of Arrested Development. “There’s always money in the banana stand!”
In the wall it’s in glass bottles when they pull it out they are magically in mason jars 😂
beautiful nature
1:25 🤣 "that's a...that's a tremendous amount of liikker" lol made my day
"Let's make sure it's liquor. It might be kerosine."
"Maybe." *sniff* "Nope."
Crazy, I just watched his last run, and seeing JB age between then and now is crazy.
I'd gladly buy 2 pints, 1 to drink in Honor of Mr. Sutton, and put the other one on the shelf for later Honor's .RIP Popcorn.
Sells by the gallon only, how much you want? LOLOL
Wow you gave me goes bumps good ppl meet good pplxx love you all
These are our Appalachian Legends in the flesh! I love seeing this
I thought the TABC raided his home and confiscated all his liquor? These guys just snoop around for a few minutes and pull a plank off his wall and find liquor.
When you find 800 gallons in a shed, out in the open. Would you start prying boards off the wall?
@@jbaker4900 doesn't matter if he would or not what matters is that the federal government absolutely will so you probably shouldn't believe everything you see on a TV show because they do things to make things seem more interesting than what they actually are
I can't trust anybody else (cept' y'all and all these camérmen and pérducshun peoples)
@John Smith why you so mad
@John Smith lol you want some fries with that salt?
@John Smith
Yet they "make illegal liquor", and are still walking around.
@John Smith
If they were really selling illegal liquor, they would be in prison.
These two clowns have their own distillery and have their own brand the show is FAKE.
there's always money in the banana stand
Ok Mr. manager
can you make brandy from them?
No one else got this. Lol love Arrested Development
Yes very easy to make brandy from bananas just let them turn brown before you use them to make sure all the starch converts to sugar
Hahahahahaha!
True Legend! I would bet Popcorn had stashes ALL OVER the place!
I love y'all too y'all act just like brother
The last line is hilarious
Love this show
Lol I can retired she looks retired already with respect
Big m was his abbreviation for our bar in Candler NC Mt view drive in, this is JC Caldwell 3,that was my dad's JC 2 our bar and grill.
That kick was strong as hell
I love this show 🌎🔥💯🇺🇸💪❤🙏
How I would love to live at my third cousin's house that would be so awesome God bless Popcorn Sutton
I don't drink anymore, can't with Crohn's....but I FN LOVE this show!
If it's you in ur pfp ur jacked for having fukn Crohns
An outlaw like popcorn is always good with me
Gotta love reality TV.
This was a good episode
0:05 every time I want to ask out a girl I remember this line it's worked out well for me thank you
Nice.. A board marked with a pristine roll of plumbers tape which was the exact spot and.no dust on the jars..I wish things were just a little more convincing sometimes
Pretty creative to mark the liquor Stash with a dart 🎯 🧐🤔
First time I drank moonshine I got a tattoo and got a black eye from a fight I don't remember starting ....
But was it good tho....
@@Quinnaka I think it was good cause even though I got black out drunk wasn't ashungover as if I drank vodka or tequila but it doesn't taste good at all
They should call it “popcorns last batch”
if it wasnt fake reality tv bs
Every batch was his last batch, lol
Dr. Doom, the show moonshiners is 100% real
Ya, just can't Help but To like the guys..
Rip Popcorn
He just wanted a swig of the moonshine he knew what big elm meant
POpcorn Shine is priceless
LMAO, if you could prove it was his and he did not make the best I ever had.
Please don’t believe that popcorn hid that. The producers hid it and made the whole thing up. Please don’t believe it lol
Those jars would be half full and as weak as beer.
Everyone knows it's just a lark though.
Why do you care?
Where’s the next part!?!
no dust on the bottles, what a set up, hidden stash the day before by the producers
Man these guys are fucking cool. I've been on a rabbit hole of these moonshine videos it's truly amazing
sept 9, 1999. 9-9-99. thats what i get from it. I recall this episode when it aired
I live in the U.K. and don’t drink much at all and even I knew of popcorn lol.
Moonshine proven to actually be made by popcorn would be a collector's item, i bet people would pay 300- 400 maybe more a jar for it.
They'd prob pay that much for a liter
Can't believe it was in his closet the whole time! Lol
I want you to find that $35,000 worth of moonshine so I can retire 🤣
I would pay a good price to taste some of ol popcorns shine
Man I hope they find that stash.....
I love ol popcorn more than anyone. Calling him or her the first lady of shine is a stretch. Elroy johnson sr and son junior johnson were up there somewhere.
0:34 can I make that a ring tone.
I would love to have one of. The. Little. Stills. They. Makt
Popcorn was like the Walter white of moonshine
The kings of drinking and driving
Taking that old cabin popcorn used and moving it somewhere would be a great attraction for her to make money.
and im sure a lot f people would visit just to get a glimpse of popcorns life. JS
Makes me want to make moonshine and live from the land
rip popcorn
That liquor is ten years old and worth it’s weight in gold if popcorn made it !!!!! 👍👍👍
Keep workin' on yer cypherin' Jethroe. 1999 makes ot over 20 YEARS ago.
I live in Kentucky and always loved stopping in Maggie valley NC on our way to mertle beach
You can't find more genuine and nice people as you'll find in Maggie valley
I can’t believe folks fell for this bull pucky lol as soon as that man passed everyone went a’looking in hopes to find anything that feller made lol
WHAT A BUNCH OF RUBES !!! All you folks just went hunting for snipes and got left holding the bag ...
thanks ... GOD BLESS !!!
The King of Moonshine
Idk if I could keep a straight face talking to these guys
Yesterday was the 20th year of that liquor bein made
I hunt daily catching more than a dozen of mosquito
