As far a experiential vacations go, you’ll not find a better souvenir than a cask of whiskey or other spirit that you created. The expert staff at Moonshine University will, of course, be available to give as much advice and feedback as requested, but the product will be all yours as you call the shots during the week-long process.
We’ll spend Sunday afternoon sampling different products to help you zero in on a custom-designed mashbill to suit your tastes.
Monday will be spent mashing two batches in our 250 gallon cooker. Why two? To make sure you have enough to fill a barrel.
When the mash is ready, it’s distilling time. We’ll take you through a stripping run and a spirit run on Thursday and Friday.
Once the distillation process is finished, we’ll put it into a barrel that you picked out and toasted or charred yourself.
We’ll begin with some essence training and then by working with you to capture the flavors and aromas you desire.
Now that we know what you’re after, we’ll start mixing and measuring ingredients to create the recipe of your dreams on our table top stills.
After dialing in your botanical blend on a table top still we’ll scale up to our 50 gallon carter head still.
No need to drink straight from the still, we’ll bottle it for you and then send it to a distributor to make sure everything is legal.
