Such an operation usually involves an organization of whiskey-runners, including a distillery owner, still hands and individuals to truck the moonshine to its destination, said Calhoun.
Once there, he said the whiskey is sold out of "shot houses" or "nip joints," illicit bars often run out of individuals' homes, as well as legitimate bars that sell the moonshine on request.
"They call it corn," said Calhoun. "You go in (to a bar) and you ask for 'corn.'"
Many of these establishments, he said, are located in urban black communities.
"Since the big commercialization of (moonshine began), a tremendous amount of it goes to black communities," he said.
