Tim Smith's Climax Moonshine Original Recipe is a pot-distilled moonshine made from a family recipe of corn, rye and barley malt, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
Tim Smith is a moonshiner from Climax, Virginia, known from Discovery Channel's Moonshiners, and Climax Moonshine brings his family recipe to the legal market. The brand launched in Georgia and South Carolina before going national, and it is now sold in all 50 states.
The Original Recipe is pot-distilled from a mash of corn, rye and barley malt, following Tim's family tradition, and bottled clear and unaged. The label, with Tim's hound dog emblem and the words original recipe, pot-distilled, celebrates its backwoods roots.
Expect sweet corn and grain on the nose, a smooth, lightly sweet palate with a touch of rye spice, and a warm, clean finish.
Climax Moonshine is smooth enough to sip chilled or over ice, and bold enough for cocktails. Mix it with lemonade and fresh mint for a moonshine smash, with sweet tea and lemon for a Southern cooler, or with ginger beer and lime for a moonshine Mule. Use it as a base for homemade fruit infusions with peaches, apples or cherries, or add a splash to hot apple cider on a cold night. Pair it with barbecue, fried chicken, cornbread and biscuits. For Moonshiners fans and anyone who loves Appalachian spirits, it makes a fun gift and a great conversation starter.
