Moonshine has a reputation. For some, it brings to mind Prohibition-era bootleggers speeding down dirt roads with jars of clear liquor in the backseat. For others, it’s the mysterious bottle passed around at family cookouts. But at MoonRunners Saloon, moonshine is more than a stereotype, it’s a craft, a tradition, and the star of our world-famous menu.
To set the record straight, here are a few of the biggest myths about moonshine, busted.
Myth #1: Moonshine Is Always Illegal
Busted: While its true moonshine earned its fame as an outlaw liquor during Prohibition, today’s moonshine is perfectly legal when distilled under regulation. At MoonRunners, our moonshine is sourced from some of the best distilleries in the country, ensuring it’s safe, high-quality, and full of flavor.
Myth #2: Moonshine Is Just “Unfinished Whiskey”
Busted: Many people think moonshine is simply whiskey that didn’t spend time aging in barrels. While some similarities exist, modern moonshine is crafted with its own recipes, techniques, and flavor infusions. Think apple pie, peach, and cinnamon spice, flavors that make moonshine a unique category all on its own.
Myth #3: Moonshine Is Too Strong to Enjoy
Busted: Yes, traditional moonshine had a reputation for being fiery. But today’s moonshine can range from smooth and sweet to bold and smoky. That’s why MoonRunners offers the world’s largest moonshine menu, with flights, cocktails, and mixes that let you enjoy moonshine your way.
