Moonshine has an interesting history. The word “moonshine” is derived from the term “moonrakers” used for its clandestine (by the light of the moon) nature of the operations of illegal Appalachian distillers who produced and distributed whiskey. Moonshine has found it way into the mainstream, more than ever, and STILLHOUSE® SPIRITS CO., known for its acclaimed STILLHOUSE® Moonshine Whiskey, has expanded its portfolio with four new flavors: Red Hot, Peach Tea, Apple Crisp and Coconut. All are infused into the award-winning moonshine spirit, and packaged in the Brand’s patented glass jug.
STILLHOUSE SPIRITS CO. was founded in 2012 with STILLHOUSE® Original Moonshine and has received two medals at the San Francisco International Spirits Competition. Derived from corn, the premium spirits company uses 100% estate-grown corn in a propriety recipe and distills it five times for a superior flavor and purity. The four new infused moonshines are built on a foundation of STILLHOUSE® Moonshine Whiskey and gain their individual, artisanal personalities through the infusion of all-natural flavors.
