Most Prohibition stories usually revolve around mobs and speakeasies. The tale of Minnesota 13, the moonshine produced by the farmers in Stearns County, Minn., some 90 minutes northwest of downtown Minneapolis, is not one of these stories. It’s better than that.

After aging (not before) the whiskey is charcoal filtered akin to Tennessee’s Lincoln County Process — which is very unusual for two reasons.
