I was tempted to buy some straight Shine and some fruit Shine the other day, but at $20- $25 a jar I thought I'd ask if anyone here recommends it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Is Store Bought Shine any Good?

What mdwest said. It's not the same stuff, but it's still pretty good.
As far as flavored shine- it pretty much tastes the same if that's what you're looking for. Store bought apple pie shine is very close to homemade. Regular white lightning is a different story.
If you're looking for the real thing...lol... I might know a guy so pm me.

while i sell store shine, i readily tell people their money is better spent on either vodka and good quality mixers, or a decent bourbon. and, yes, like most things in life, home made is almost always better. o)
Out here in AZ it is hard almost impossible to find shine. I lived in NC for awhile and had some good shine there. I like the store bought stuff I liked it ok. It is not like the really thing. I would love to get my hands on some of the Popcorn shine or Tim's from Moonshiners. If anybody would like to help a AZ hillbilly I will pay for it.

Really depends on the quality of the homemade shine you buy. There is a lot of shit shine out there but the good stuff is definitely better than store bought. Just don't expect to buy bath tub shine and be impressed.
its honestly pretty good. Im a frequent purchaser of the Midnight Moon Apple Pie and Blackberry shine. The blackberry is very smooth but will bite you fast! The apple pie has a great flavor but a rubbing alcohol aftertaste but still damn good!
Thanks guys. I don't really expect it to be as good as a good homemade version, but I may give some a try. My local Packy has a few brands but the only one I've heard of is Midnight Moon. Probably try their Apple Pie.
