The art of making moonshine has been passed down for generations as it was in my family. My great-great grandfather, great-uncle, and grandfather were moonshiner’s and I want to continue the tradition by making traditional moonshine with family recipes. We use all natural ingredients in every step of the process. The only way to make true moonshine is use fresh and natural ingredients, but it’s not moonshine if its not made in a moonshine still like the one we are using, which was hand crafted not store bought, like everything we make. Our product is classified as a distilled spirit specality by the federal government because it does not fall under any other class of product. We spend alot of time and money to make less product, but it is the highest quality moonshine you can find in the woods or the store. We can trace our recipe back over 150 years, when everything was hand made in these mountains with pride. We are as authentic as it gets. We use oak barrels to make our mash, a real moonshine still, lcoal corn stone ground at a local water wheel mill, and we recycle our spent mash by useing it as hog feed like moonshiners have done for generations. If you want to know what moonshine really taste like in these mountains 150 years ago then try Howling Moon.
Our straight white moonshine is the recipe of moonshiner and bluegrass star Raymond Fairchild. Raymond has two gold records and is recognized by the Internationl Bluegrass Music Museum as a pioneer of Bluegrass. In a few months we will also offer fruit flavors from my family recipe and in time a variety of moonshine flavors and styles generations old that are rare even in these mountains. Some of the flavors will be seasonal because we will use local fruits and some will be consistent. We are making moonshine the traditional way with old Appalachian recipes and a traditional moonshine still. Our products will be available in Western North Carolina first. We plan to grow, but we wont compromise our quality or our traditional methods, which take longer to produce alcohol, but the quality is better and the moonshine is genuine.
