When we hear the word “moonshine” we may think of the illegal bootlegging of whiskey that was done in the 1900’s in the Deep South. Believe it or not it is still being made today. But today I am not talking about the bootleg type of moonshine I am talking about pure American Born Moonshine founded in Nashville, Tennessee 2012 by Patrick Dillingham and Sean Koffel. It was their mission to create the most authentic tasting moonshine with a smooth – great taste, 100% corn mash that’s sweetened with sugar. American Born Moonshine is made up of four very distinct flavors: Original White Lighting, Apple Pie, and Dixie Sweet Tea. The tasty moonshine is inside mason jars with a very interesting pouring system that makes it look super top notch. As American Born Moonshine continues to grow its presence both in the South and now the West. The company is anticipating going nationwide in the next few years. The product is available in Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and California. The average retail price is $24.99 for a 750ML jar.
