Moonshine Lore and IRS Crackdown Across Regions
A 1962 IRS report notes East Coast bootlegging forced legal liquor sales, with moonshine from large syndicates stockpiled in sugar and containers. The South features many small operators in dry counties, while North sees higher quality, dangerous blends. In fiscal year 1962, authorities seized 6,886 stills, destroyed 175,000 gallons of moonshine, 3.4 million gallons of mash, arrested 8,126, and confiscated $214 million in property. Cracking down on bootleggers remains essential as regulation began in 1619 Virginia.
