Nope. Screech is strictly a Newfoundland thing. It's similar to shine in that it is mainly Molasses and water that is fermented, distilled and aged but it is now an actual manufactured product and can be purchased legally there.

Shine comes in many family recipes that all involve molasses and water but also various combinations of sugar and a vegetable mash. It's more 'stilled' than distilled, it's never aged and it definitely is not legal.
