Richard is definitely the most innovative moonshiner, he’s made some extremely intricate spirits all on a backwoods setup. He’d be balling if he could set up an industrial distillery
Man i love how Richard is not afraid of the competition and he is willing to talk it through with them, at the same time he doesnt say yes thats correct.
Mike is nowhere near the level Richard is at. I believe in Richard's level of skill over Mike all day long. Oh sure Mike can bring it, but Richard has studied it & has studied the history of the art of making anything & everything you can make into a nice smooth drink that everyone can enjoy. That's why Mike is not in this competition of a sipping cream. He couldn't handle it IMO. You heard the 3 judges, all 3 could be great sipping drinks inside every home in America. Just depends on you taste palettes on which one you perfer. Myself I would want all 3, because I like all 3 flavors of these.
This is everything about what the Southern US should be known for. Down home hospitality, good intentions, simple living, effortless charisma, and a real sense of down to earth joy that you could see yourself living for until you die.
