Original MOONSHINE – American Whiskey News

The Taste:
It blends the recipe of centuries ago with the smooth, refined flavors that appeal to today’s palate
Nose – Freshly snapped cornhusk, but only after a bare drizzle of pure water is added to open the nose.
Taste – Smooth, mellow and elegant. A mid warm sweetness of unrefined raw sugar, retaining the richness from freshly picked corn.
Finish – A pleasant and tempered clean finish, void of impurities, with a diffused and balanced lingering of warmth.
Versatility – the subtle, distinctive character is most noticeable when sipped just shy of neat with a slash of pure water. When wall bruised with ice, it transforms into a creamy, voluptuous, satiny texture. The mixability of this spirit is most friendly to any fruit that has medium or strong acidity, but is also well-matched with most mixers within the bartender’s repertoire.

Did You Know…
MOONSHINE was crafted by many U.S. Presidents….and outlawed by others.
For more then a decade it ruled New York’s most decadent and glamorous age of nightlife and was hotly pursued by federal agents. It gave birth to the nations second largest sport: NASCAR. During Prohibition MOONSHINE runners souped up their cars so they could get away from the law.

The STILLHOUSE Distillery:
The STILLHOUSE Distillery is located in historic Culpeper, Virginia.
The Culpeper area was a highly prized position for both sides during the Civil War. In 1863, over 20,000 soldiers clashed at Brandy Station just outside of Culpeper, engaging in what would go down in history as the largest cavalry battle in the history of the Western Hemisphere. All the corn that goes into the production of Moonshine is grown at the estate in Culpeper. The estate distillery houses a genuine sold copper pot still, which was constructed in 1930, there years before the end of Prohibition
