Is this the end of the road for our favorite band of illicit distillers? Tuesday’s “Moonshiners” finds Mark and Digger feeling the heat, suspecting a police stakeout near their still site. They’re not about to let a little surveillance stop them, but they are taking precautions, prepping their teams for a potential showdown with the law. Paranoia runs deep in the backwoods.
Meanwhile, in a move that would make any whiskey aficionado weep, Howard downs the last of Tim’s father’s cherished rye, a decades-old elixir. Now, Tim faces a daunting task: recreate his dad’s secret recipe or risk losing it forever. The pressure’s on, and the stakes are higher than ever. Forget the cops; Tim’s facing his own personal distillery disaster.
This episode sees the moonshiners going to even greater lengths to hide their operations. We’re talking camouflage, decoys, and enough backwoods ingenuity to make MacGyver proud. The ever-present threat of law enforcement looms large, but the allure of illicit profits and the thrill of the chase keep these moonshiners coming back for more. One wonders if they spend more time hiding than distilling these days.
“Moonshiners” airs Tuesday, February 25, 2025, on Discovery.
