"sounds like this hooch was made in a still out in the back woods somewhere"

Hey I resent that comment, that fine wine happens to hail from my home town, that reknown wine making region of Lachine, Quebec. It happens to have had the well earned reputation of being the libation of choice for the areas discriminating rubbies and it's empty bottles could be found gracing many a discarded brown paper bag. To celebrate special events such as the winter carnival it was often mixed with alcool which was high octane pure, unaged alcohol, to create what was called Caribou, a fine winter warmer.
