From all reports (I've drunk moonshine, but never Popcorn's stuff), his product had absolutely nothing in common with the water-clear, gullet-searing industrial ethanol commonly thought-of when corn-whiskey is discussed. His whiskey was a warm dark-amber and smooth as silk -- to quote someone more experienced than I: "Popcorn was an artist."
