Tennessee Legend White Lightning is a small-batch unaged corn whiskey moonshine from Tennessee Legend Distillery in Sevierville, Tennessee, bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof).
It is the backbone of Tennessee Legend's line and the base from which nearly all its products are made.
It strikes your tongue with a bolt of potent flavour that is as close as you can get to traditional backwoods 'shine, with all the heat and none of the burn.
Made from a mash of 100% corn, it is a straight, no-nonsense spirit made as nature intended.
It comes in Tennessee Legend's handled jug, and it can be mixed with nearly anything you set your heart on.

How to Enjoy It
Sip White Lightning chilled as a shot for the traditional moonshine experience, or tame it with lemonade, sweet tea or ginger ale over ice. It is a great base for homemade infusions: add sliced apples and cinnamon, fresh peaches, cherries or jalapeños to a jar and let it rest for a few days. It also makes a bold Moonshine Mule with ginger beer and lime, or a Moonshine Sour with lemon and honey. At full 100 proof it holds its own in any mixer, so a little goes a long way in a pitcher of lemonade or a big batch of punch. Pair it with barbecue, fried chicken, cornbread and smoked sausage. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
