Would it be akin to moonshine, would it not work, would it just be an undrinkable sludge?

Pre-Rum...

Basically you would be creating the fermented base for Rum which is distilled to make the spirit.

No... it would not taste like moonshine as that is a distilled illegal spirit. It would be very thin and dry assuming that you fermented it out completely. It would have a dominant estery-winey flavor that would be harsh and unplesant.
