Peach Moonshine

Summertime is here to stay with this fruity, soft, and satisfying 50 proof moonshine. But don’t be fooled! It packs a peachy punch.

2009 was the year the State of Tennessee decided to change its laws, allowing the making of moonshine for the very first time in over a century. Ole Smoky was co-founded by Joe Baker in Tennessee, and the brand has created a broad range of flavored Moonshine and more than a dozen Whiskeys, as well as canned ready-to-drink cocktails. Touting themselves as Appalachian born and bred, the Ole Smoky family was among the first to step foot in the Smoky Mountains. They craft their whiskeys using time-honored traditions of whiskey making. Quickly following Tennessee's change in state law which permitted the distillation of spirits, Baker got to work crafting one of a kind, mountain-made moonshine, making Ole Smoky the first federally-licensed distillery in the history of East Tennessee. Their whiskey lineup includes Mango Habanero, Cinnamon, Root Beer, Peach, Peanut Butter, Vanilla Bean, Cookies & Cream, and several other expressions. Ole Smoky Butter Pecan Moonshine is among their lower-proof flavored offerings, clocking in at 35 proof. Flavored with butter, cream, toasted pecans, and caramel, with their own moonshine serving as the backbone, it's a super-creamy twist on the classic flavor combination.

Sugar cookies and cinnamon are one of those magical pairings that make a whole new kind of delicious. That’s why we took those flavors and blended it with our moonshine and some cream to create a Snickerdoodle you can pour over ice. Sugar, spice, and everything nice.

Maple Bacon moonshine is a sweet and savory spirit that combines the tastes of smoked bacon and candied maple syrup. The distinct blend is easily taken as a shot or combined to make a smoky, full-flavored cocktail.

Serve our Maple Bacon shine alongside peanut brittle, potato chips, donuts, bourbon, caramel, butterscotch or pancakes. Maple Bacon moonshine makes the perfect Bloody Mary! You can also use it as a substitute for sweet vermouth in a Manhattan.

Situated along the banks of the East River, Kings County Distillery is New York City's oldest operating whiskey distillery and the first distillery in New York City since Prohibition. Wedged between Williamsburg and Vinegar Hill, Colin Spoelman and David Haskell, the master distillers at Kings County, make hand-crafted bourbon and moonshine out of the 113-year old Paymaster Building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. A typewriter the two distillers found on the sidewalk in Williamsburg is used to make the labels that adorn their clear, flask-like bottles, while a hairdryer (made by Revlon) is used to afix each bottle seal. Handwritten scrawls on a chalkboard keep track of different batches, and mesh laundry bags are used as strainers. Before white whiskey, there was moonshine, otherwise known as whiskey before it is aged in a barrelthough the word can also mean any illegally-made spirit. Kings County Distillery's Moonshine is a corn whiskey made from 80% New York State organic corn and 20% malted barley. It is double distilled and reduced to a smooth, drinkable 80 proof. Bright with a sweet slap of corn, this is a very respectable take on a classic American whiskey.

Southwind corn whiskey moonshine began when two artists, Maxime Berthou and Mark Polep, took an old paddle steamer down the Mississippi River exactly 1712 miles of it. After two years of preparation the month-and-a-half journey took the pair through 10 states during the record-breaking 2019 floods. The 21-foot steamboat mostly putted along happily at up to 4 miles per hour (3.5 knots), though not without incident while the flooding provided a lot of driftwood for fuel, it also caused the rudder to break 3 times. The wood-fired engine took lots of hard work, with the pair working in 2-hour shifts. The duo had set out with several goals in mind: The adventure would serve as a basis for a book and film, but more importantly for us they would gather several samples of corn along the way from at least 10 different producers and create a moonshine once the journey was completed. But they couldn't just go about creating the moonshine the ordinary way. Once they moored in New Orleans, the boat was transformed into a floating distillery, producing moonshine from the 42 corn varieties they gathered from 10 different states. With the help of Big Easy's own Seven Three Distilling the pair created Southwind a moonshine that tells the story of the Mississippi River and their epic undertaking. 

Sure, apples and spice are nice. But they got a lot nicer when we turned up the heat. We spiked our Apple Pie Moonshine the only way we know how - by upping the proof. Take this swift kick to the apples!
