Ep 7. Scotch on the Rocks

In "Scotch on the Rocks," the seventh episode of season five of Moonshiners, we follow several of our favorite moonshiners as they continue their work in the backwoods of America. This episode sees tensions running high as our moonshiners struggle to maintain their operations under increased scrutiny from law enforcement.

The episode opens with Tim Smith, one of the most famous moonshiners in the business, as he continues to feel the pressure of his run-ins with the law. Tim knows that he needs to keep his head down if he wants to avoid getting caught, but he's itching to get back to making moonshine. With winter fast approaching, he knows that he needs to act fast if he wants to get a good supply of moonshine stockpiled for the months ahead.

Meanwhile, we catch up with Mike and Jerry, two moonshiners who are always looking for a way to stay one step ahead of the law. In this episode, they decide to turn their attention to the lucrative Scotch market, as they believe that they can create a premium brand of moonshine that can rival the real thing. Their plan is to make a batch of high-quality Scotch-inspired moonshine that they can sell for top dollar on the black market.

As usual, there are plenty of obstacles in their way. For one thing, making a good Scotch-inspired moonshine is no easy feat. They need to use just the right combination of grains and flavors if they want to get it right. And even if they do create the perfect batch of moonshine, they'll still have to figure out how to get it to market without getting caught by the law.

Elsewhere, we check in with Josh, a moonshiner who is known for his unique approach to making moonshine. In this episode, he decides to experiment with a new method of distillation that he hopes will make his moonshine even stronger and smoother than before. His new technique involves chilling the moonshine down to near-freezing temperatures, which he believes will help to remove any impurities and give the final product a crisp, clean taste.

Of course, even a seasoned moonshiner like Josh can run into trouble from time to time. In this episode, he finds himself in a tight spot when the law comes knocking on his door. With his moonshine operation threatened, he has to decide whether to stay and fight or to cut his losses and run.

Throughout the episode, we see tensions running high as our moonshiners struggle to keep their businesses running. With the law closing in and the need for top-quality product increasing, the pressure is on to get things right. As the moonshiners push themselves to their limits, we're left wondering how they'll manage to pull through the challenges that lay ahead.
