@meJess My 100% Irish Great Grandmother, who lived to 89 years of age, and had a single shot every day of her life, told me this, she distilled her own with a small set up using barley grain like how she was taught from small childhood while growing up in Georgia. I wish so very much that my mother didn't take my older brothers and myself to iowa when I was ten in July 1980, when I got back to the Portland area in 1988 when I was 18 she couldn't teach me because she no longer had her little still and was living with her youngest daughter in an apartment since when my Great Grandfather died in 1985.
@NativePortlander1970 100% Irish but grew up in Georgia? American spelling perhaps? My Irish friends who actually live in Ireland tell me it’s correct with an e in it.
@meJess Her ancestors were part of the "indentured servant" slavery that went to the southern states from the 1600's to late 1800's, their English landlord accused them of being in debt and sold their debt plantation owners.
