Manitoba Moonshine is here and we couldn’t be more excited to reveal it to the world!
Produced from 100% Manitoba grown rye in small, limited batches, this premium spirit is ultra-smooth and balanced. (We know what you’re thinking, most moonshine is distilled from corn, but we wanted to shake things up and show off the beautiful grain that our Manitoba farmers work so hard to produce!)
This versatile spirit is extremely unique, displaying distinctly sweet aromas of fruit, florals, and honey, while harmoniously bringing forward hints of black pepper and clove on the palette. The finish is warm, with a lingering mellow spice for an overall clean, light bodied craft spirit unlike any other. It is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail.
We're launching Manitoba Moonshine this coming weekend at Third + Bird and will have tons in stock at the distillery after the market. We hope to have it in stock at most Manitoba Liquor Mart stores as well by mid November. Stay tuned for details on when you’ll find it in stores!
