Midnight Moon Cherry Moonshine

Midnight Moon Cherry Moonshine is a handcrafted, small-batch spirit from Piedmont Distillers in North Carolina, inspired by NASCAR legend Junior Johnson’s family recipe. Made from 100% American corn distilled in copper pot stills to 100 proof (50% ABV), it’s infused with real, fresh-picked cherries aged in the mason jar for a sweet-tart profile.

Product Description

This ultra-smooth moonshine combines a corn mash base cut with filtered water and real cherries for natural flavor infusion—no artificial additives. Sold in 750ml mason jars, it evokes Prohibition-era tradition with a vibrant red hue from the fruit, ideal chilled neat, over ice, or in punches.

Tasting Notes

Aromas highlight sour cherries with subtle heat and corn sweetness. The palate balances tart cherry dominance, mild sweetness, and moonshine kick without syrupy overload or harsh burn. Finish lingers with fruit essence and clean spirit warmth.
