If by Kentucky wind you mean Kentucky bourbon it can make for clouded issue’s I prefer Tennessee my self but if thing’s stay the same I agree that it is unlikely to be a problem.
Well… I’ve heard it told that if you have been drinking and you see double, drink till you see triple and go for the one in the middle.
Personally I’m not a big drinker… but my stories tell better if I pretend I am

Since you folk are talking about Whisky, I have a story 
I drove across northern Nevada this past summer and stopped in for a little gambling along the way. I haven’t played blackjack in a long time, but I used to play quite frequently. The cocktail waitresses would come buy and ask me what drink I wanted, so I’d say scotch and soda w/either Johnny Walker Black, or Chevis Regal. Either one was ok, they’d bring me the one I wanted. Not this last time. I noticed the casino-thing seems to have gone awry. Not as many of them, and the ones there are aren’t as opulent. Or as friendly. So I ask for a scotch and soda, saying Johnny Walker Black. The CW gives me a weird look, then brings me my drink. I taste it, complaining it isn’t Johnny Walker Black. She says “It’s JB”, same initials … lol …

As far as stories do you know what the difference is between a scar and a tatoo? A scar usualy has a better story behind it a tatoo usualy goes well I was drinking one night.

Agree as any self respecting southerner would but I when I have go to legal I go for Jack Daniel’s black but always keep a supply of the clear stuff on hand.
even our car’s agree as they like ethanol.
Yep! Stubborn carbonization on valves comes right off with that stuff! Who needs SeaFoam?
(The really good stuff is WhistlePig 10 and in a whiskey snifter. )

While reality TV gives us a phony inside view of moonshine and bootleggers there are quite a few artisans of the art of distilling spirits in north Alabama and central Tennessee whose product is quite good. An old customer with a taste for the stuff and a decades old relationship with several still operators gave me a quart for Christmas for years but he has passed away and I wouldn’t want to investigate the quality of an unknown product so I settle for bottles with stamps on them.

We have another thread on here about plastic radiators It make’s wonder what unscrupulous still operator’s now since there are no more copper radiator’s.
Not too many folks like Popcorn Sutton around anymore. And a lot of the commercial stuff is meant to adhere to the moonshine stereotype, so it’s more lighter fluid than a good beverage.
Interestingly with the boom in microdistilleries, “moonshine” is often better than ever. As the distilleries start up they want to get a product out and start making money, but the whiskey hasn’t had time to age, so they release white whiskey. Some of them are really good.
Brake lines.
