I might have to drive down for that. I was gonna say they make legal forms of both Palinka or Tuica (similar Romanian brandy) but the alcohol content is much lower than the "good stuff" right? I mean the range can be like 30%-80% or something crazy like that.

Yes I think the commercial ones are much lower in alcohol content .
The moonshine stuff Ive tried has usually always been better.

Nobody call me a traitor, but I prefer red wine to Whisky.

Now my father and I believe that from spirits it is best to drink vodka (a pure product, minimal side effects, compatible with almost any food) and whiskey (made from grains, a weak hangover, there is no vanilla smell like in cognac). Any fruit distillate is poorly tolerated by me. Of the light drinks, beer or cider is best for me.
