camouflaging moonshine color to resemble bourbon

old bottle found at Gettysburg
CAMOUFLAGE ARTIST RUNS AFOUL DRY LAW in The Courier-Jounal (Louisville KY), February 15, 1922, p. 2—

Lexington KY—Sam Wilcox is an artist, the officers say, but his talent had gotten him into a peck of trouble.

Wilson’s art has been directed into “illegal” channels, according to the warrant issued by prohibition agents, who arrested him at his home at Corinth KY.

Some of his work will be exhibited to the Federal Commission at his examing trial February 20.

He is accused of having offered his services and a preparation for coloring moonshine whiskey to look like old Bourbon.
