Moonshiner

This week legendary moonshiner Edwin Coe Dupuis died at the age of 96. His moonshine whiskey became legend in the Atchafalaya Basin of Louisiana. Philadelphia food critic Craig Laban met "Coe" recently and has an appreciation of a man that turned swamp water into liquid amber. (4:00)

>>> Music before and after this moonshine piece was performed live by Sonny Landreth on location and is not available.
