Ageing shine ? Not sure how that helps it...my Dad said he aged a quart one time for three hours,,didn't seem to help it a bit.
My Momma, in her older years, keep a pint of shine , with rock candy in it,,for coughs and colds.. and stuff. Our entire family was very sickly

I used to tease her in front of her Church buddies about using the 'shine' for just medicinal purposes,,and wearing the teaspoons into straight silver stems. I'd get that Momma 'Eastwood' stare and knew then to say no more lol
God Bless her Saintly Soul,,she was something else lol
