Making moonshine and bootlegging have long been traditional Prince Edward Island activities. One company makes a legal version called, Strait Shine. It is distilled by The Myriad View Artisan Distillery Inc. located at Rollo Bay, Prince Edward Island. Strait Shine tastes something like a French Marc or an Italian Grappa. But, more powerful. It is HG’s favorite after-dinner drink. (Second best is Bagaco, a Portuguese Marc produced at another PEI distillery). HG takes modest sips of a small amount of Shine since it carries a punch. This is wise since HG precedes it with a generous cocktail (or two) at 6PM and much wine with dinner. This alcoholic regimen keeps HG (pardon the allusion) in good spirits.
