The Process

Palmetto Moonshine is made from four main ingredients - corn, sugar, water and yeast! From these four ingredients the mash is produced and sits in containers for a couple of weeks to allow the fermentation process to start.

​

From there, the mash is poured into the 100% copper still and is heated up by the burners below. Once the mash reaches a certain temperature, it vaporises and rises into the cap. From there it travels through a copper pipe and into the thumper. The thumper re-evaporates the alcohol and filters out the mash, which double cooks the mixture to make it extra smooth.

​

The purified vapour then travels into the worm. The worm contains running cold water and a coiled length of pipe. The alcohol vapour then condenses into liquid moonshine!
