Looks like a clever name from the piney woods. Maybe they finished it with a drop of turpentine

"Seized in the raid were a 50-gallon boiler, a four-burner oil stove, coils, numerous jars of finished stump juice ready for market and fourteen 15-gallon capacity kegs filled with moonshine. The total market value of the confiscated goods was nearly $3,000. Confiscated liquor from somewhere in Schoolcraft County."
