Tim Smith shows a secret stash of his premium moonshine that he is hiding on Moonshiners Season 2. Tim is currently working on going legal to create his own brand of moonshine
Deputy Sheriff Chuck is “The Law” in Moonshiners Season 2
I am his biggest fan (seriously) and could not believe it when I saw the picture of you together at the Slugger Museum. I have a feeling he’s been to Louisville before and absolutely would love to meet him and wish him the best of luck.
Your blog and love of ‘spirits’ is palpable! You are so enthusiastic and it shows and I wish you much success. It’s so nice to see someone representing the great bourbon state of Kentucky.
You are reminding us of something that is truly Americana and rooted deep in the craft.
Thanks for all you do!
You’re a fraud & an imbecile if you believe the Feds will allow you to go legit after you blatantly thumbed your nose at the law by having your “secret stash” aired on TV! Foolish man you shouldn’t be allowed to ever make hooch ever again! The Feds need to put lowjack inside your skin so you can be constantly monitored by anyone anywhere anytime! The fact you work as a volunteer Fire Chief is even MORE disgusting because you’re supposed to be a ROLE MODEL not a degenerate criminal! The shear fact that you’re on the “tour circuit” collecting money for the privilege of your appearance is beyond laughable as well as JANKY! You can still be arrested for your actions – the evidence is YOU admitting everything you do on the show! And to those misguided fools who praise your ways – they should be penalized for aiding and abetting.
This goes to justice prudence, your a dumbass. First of all if Tim really showed his moonshine hidin, or him makin moonshine, he would be in jail. As far as we know, that’s water in the bottles. The atf knocked on his door, didn’t arrest him cuz they have no hard evidence that he.made it..so as far as I’m concerned, them red necks are ten times smarter then you. Period.
And to add on, you say, you can still be arrested for the evidence you shown on the show, well maybe you should take a second.look at the law. Gotta have hard evidence to convict someone. He’s got none, just makin water. Your are a disgrace to America thinkin you know the laws when really, your far from it. You should be arrested for bein a dumbass and mad that someone got around the law and you didn’t. Why do you think the show is on its second season, because there is nothing illegal on what they show on the show. They move water as far as we know. Your a dip shit go to hell.
@Justice Prudence
As far as I’m concerned the only law being broken is the government taking away our rights. I don’t even drink. But I love my country and freedoms. It comes down to one thing…..money. George Washington made it for the same reason Tim does. America is a shadow of what it was. Time we all stood up to these scumbag politicians and SHOWED them our rights.
God bless America!
