Original
Moonshine
Wyoming has a rich history of moonshining. Our sparsely populated spaces and propensity for outlaw antics made our state an ideal place to produce illicit alcohol. While we of course are doing it legally, we are taking cues from the history that surrounds us to inform our production methods.
Our Original Moonshine is not simply our whiskey before it has been aged. In fact, it’s not a whiskey at all since it uses a historic recipe of corn and sugar as the mash. These ingredients were readily accessible around here during prohibition and the purchase of them was easy to explain as feed for livestock and supplies for a ranch. Our production methods reflect those that would have been used by skilled moonshiners to create a distilled product that was as refined as they could achieve on their equipment leaving it anything but neutral. Thus, our moonshine is clean and drinkable right out of the bottle, and also certainly not neutral.
