Midnight Moonshine

Junior Johnson’s Midnight Moon is based on the Johnson family’s moonshine recipe. Every batch is handcrafted in very small batches, made from American corn and is triple distilled to deliver a clean-tasting spirit that is smoother than the world’s best vodkas. The Midnight Moon fruit inclusions are hand-packed in traditional moonshine jars with real, honest-to-goodness fruit. No artificial colors or flavors. Just as moonshiners have done for generations, the real fruit ages in the jar, and all of the delicious flavor comes from the fruit itself – just as nature (and moonshiners) intended. All natural, real fruit inclusions are available in the following flavors: Apple Pie, Blackberry, Blueberry, Cherry, Cranberry & Strawberry.  each $21.99  750ml Jar

We also carry the regular Midnight Moon  $19.99  750ml  Jar

Some New Items

Ancnoc Peter Arkle Single Malt Whiskey
Nose : Rich and spicy fruit cake aromas are complemented by creamy vanilla and pronounced sticky toffee. The middle note of freshly picked green apples is accentuated by just a touch of blood orange zest. Complex and satisfying.
Color: Rich copper with amber highlights
Taste:  Sun-dried raisins and honey explode on the palate, followed quickly by vanilla ice-cream with hot caramel sauce. The finish is round and long, on the dark side of the fruit.

$64.95  750ml

Tequila Tapatio Blanco 110

• 100% Estate grown Blue Agave
• The Agave are hand selected by Jimadores and delivered fresh to the distillery where they are hand cut and placed in the oven.
• The Blue Agave are slowly baked for four days to transform the raw material into sweet fructose sugar. Once baked, the Blue Agaves are crushed and pressed in a modified sugar cane mill to extract the sweet agave juice (“Mosto”) which is then ready for fermentation.
• A selected fraction of freshly made “Mosto” is pumped into small wood fermenters to slowly ferment using a special in-house 75 year old yeast culture. Once the “Mosto” ferments into dry “Mosto Muerto” it is ready to be distilled.
• The first distillation is run through a 3,500 liter Stainless Steel Still, then the “Ordinario” is distilled in small (90-250 gallon) Copper Alambiques Tequilano Pot Stills.
• Barely filtered to preserve mouth feel, texture and viscosity of the estate grown Blue Agave.
