Because you can't duplicate the taste of good "corn."

Jim, I can find 'shine being made within ten miles of my house here in southeast Ohio and on a trip to TN. and KY. this summer, a local friend of mine down there brought in some that was as good as you ever tasted. It was from Bill in Alabama's old stomping grounds in east TN.

Real decent shine is an art an often passed on through generations and its as different from other whiskeys as scotch is from bourbon, so I imagine the market will always be there.
