During Prohibition, moonshine was distilled at a very high proof. It was Edgefield Judge William Devore who coined the phrase, “Edgefield whiskey is mean enough to make a rabbit spit in a bulldog’s face,” when describing Edgefield’s illegal moonshine trade in the 1920s.

Carolina Moon Distillery is reclaiming the culture of small-scale distilling as a craft, returning to the use of quality corn and fresh, local ingredients. Whereas major distillers use the entire run, we only used the “heart” of each batch to yield the best spirits possible.

We ensure that each individual batch meets the highest quality standards, using absolutely no shortcuts. Our products are distilled, bottled and packaged by hand here at the distillery. The pride we feel in our products extends from the selection of quality ingredients, right through the finished product.
