Crude fermented water can be refined into modern [[moonshine]] by means of distillation to vodka, or rectified spirit, but it is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonshine#Legality illegal in most countries]. It is distinct from rum because it is typically made by molasses, a byproduct of the sugar refining process, or fresh sugar cane juice that has a discernible taste of its own. | |||
