Is the deadly drink known as Clerén the same as moonshine?

don’t forget TJ Swann! strawberry was my favorite
could never drink it without puking
ah, those were the days . . .
Dominican and Haitian authorities are searching for the Haitian guy that sold the contaminated Cleren. Lets see how long will this islandwide search last before they either capture the guy, capture the wrong guy and destroy his life, or give up.
watapuzzy.
You ain't a real man unless you've downed an entire fifth of MD 20/20 followed by a bucket of Church's fried chicken.
Clerén is actually prohibited in the RD, just as Haitian cigarettes are. That does not mean that they can not be found, you just have to know where to look. Clerén is usually bottled in recycled soda pop bottles. I've had a taste, and in my opinion, you can strip automobile paint with the substance.
The wide assortment of repurposed bottles is almost a trademark.... maybe all the different sizes is an attempt to align with the spare change in your pocket.
Followed up with a pint of Thunderbird................... too funny, but I surely remember them good ol' days
we didn’t even have Church’s 38 years ago!
OMG, I’m old . . .
in fact, I don’t ever remember eating anything when we indulged in these wines
that may have been the problem!
I guess depended on where you lived. We didn't do Church's but White Castle was the thing............
Back on topic............ Several months ago I was sitting in that little park just east of Napolitano Hotel on the malecon. The park is frequented by the less than fortunate peeps. One fellow starting chatting with me and after awhile he left and returned with a half pint bottle of something. From what I gathered it was some homemade "moonshine?". He later walked with me down the street to show me what house (shack) he bought it from. I think he paid like 50 pesos for the bottle. Lucky me I wasn't stupid enough to take a swig.
I dont think haitian cigarettes are prohibited in the RD. I actually switched to point haitian brand, they are like 1/6th of the price of my normal brand..
There is however a limit to how much you can "import" ( typically I get mine in dajabon )
How about five (5) bottles of Boones Farm Can't even stand the sight of the bottle to this day, what a freaking hang me over And I had to ride a Ferry 45 minutes back to mainland, ugh!
Man, I would want to see that turlet cleaned to my specs :ermm:
My worst experience with "pure" (Actually sugar) alcohol (Actually impossible to get 100% alcohol outside of a laboratory , as soon as you crack the seal water is absorbed into the hydrophilic alcohol) was at Montego Bay Jamaica
We were sitting around Doctor's Cave Beach Resort drinking Red Stripe one by one (No way could we convince bartender to sell pictures, we even poured glasses one by one into a pitcher so he could count, it was the speed or lack thereof of the waiters that was driving us nuts) slowly getting a buzz
Around 22:00 a mass of Chiefs "invaded" the place, they had booked every single room and apartment (Wondered why we couldn’t get a room in middle of summer) USS Mississippi, a fairly large Cruiser (About 600 sailors) large had arrived unbeknownst to us and every single Chief in good standing had leave (Along with 300 or so sailors added to our 2500) They politely asked if they could join our tables as we (Officers from our carrier) had taken up most of the indoor-outdoor tables at the piano bar if any recall the place, what the hell...we knew we could bunk with them and the food and parties would go all night, screw rank protocol in a foreign leave port
After another few hours, and several bottles smuggled in by the devious Chiefs, a "table boy" came by and asked if we wanted a bottle of "real rum" well we figured it would be from Appleton or one of the other fine breweries on the Island, but what does he bring back: This completely clear bottle of evil liquid
Apparently there is one distillery in all of Jamaica that makes the alcohol to distribute to the breweries, and us. We gently started sipping the stuff and passing it around, taking great amusement in everyone choking and gasping except this one old grizzled Senior Chief who would take about a 2oz chug, burp and say "ahh"
A waiter came by when I was gently sipping from the bottle and said "That gonna make your head go away" well sometime during the evening we had ordered champagne in silver coolers to impress the ladies, impress I did I woke when the sun came up with my face in a champagne bucket feeling like I had ridden the Cat without our airplane
Found out later it was 180-190 proof
GO NAVY! BEAT VIRGINIA!
I can't believe no one has mentioned my all time favorites... Night Train and Thunderbird. I actually sold Night Train in my bar at one time...
