The Original Moonshine Cocktails

The Original MOONSHINE, or ‘Shine as it is fondly referred to by those who sip and savor the spirit from traditional style mason jars, is clear corn whiskey crafted in the same “authentic tradition that moonshine has been made for hundreds of years.” They mean hand crafted from 100% estate grown corn, distilled four times in a Prohibition era copper pot still. All legal I’s dotted and T’s crossed.

I haven’t seen this product on local shelves, but have seen it available at several online retail venues in the $30 to $40 range. It comes in at 80 proof / 40% abv. Moonshine recommends enjoying ‘Shine neat, on the rocks or in specialty cocktails designed to feature the sweet summer corn flavor of this white whiskey.
