Stumphole whiskey was whiskey that farmers used to hide in the stumpholes of trees so nobody else could find it. Lee is probably referring to prohibition days in the United States. Apparently Boo Radley used to try and keep his Whiskey a secret from his parents.

Olease submit each phrase one at a time. Thanks.
