Although they refuse to reveal their secret recipe, we can tell you that the moonshine contains corn, malted barley and several other grains. At 80 proof, Onyx Moonshine is both smooth and tasty, and lacks the burn of traditional moonshines. Full-bodied, it has notes of honey and apple on the nose that contrast wonderfully with spicy wood undertones before giving way to a refreshing hint of botanicals.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nUntil now, Onyx Moonshine has been available only in Connecticut. That's not to say it has gone unnoticed by the rest of the country -- Onyx was chosen as the \"Best Microdistillery in New England\" by \u003cem\u003eYankee Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e in 2012. Onyx Moonshine was also selected as the official spirit of the 2011 Country Music Awards and the 2012 Grammy Awards and was given to each performer and presenter in gift bags. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nHelp carry on the legacy of Connecticut moonshine and try a bottle today!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Onyx Spirits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Working from the historic Hilliard Mills in Manchester, master distillers Adam von Gootkin and Peter Kowalczyk have rekindled the legacy of Connecticut moonshine. Not often thought of as a traditional moonshine hotspot, Connecticut was actually one of only two states that failed to fully pass the Eighteenth Amendment, which introduced Prohibition to the United States. Once Prohibition began, however, hidden speakeasies peppered the state -- von Gootkin's own great uncle purportedly operated a speakeasy during Prohibition.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=4374\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Onyx Spirits bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Other Spirits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe understand that some people are explorers at heart, and the classics just won't cut it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those people, many other unique spirits are not listed in the main categories but are still worth the mention, such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/catalogsearch\/result\/?q=absinthe\"\u003eabsinthe\u003c\/a\u003e, aperitivos, and other Special spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou're welcome to check our excellent \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/other\/\"\u003especial spirit selection\u003c\/a\u003e, find your favorite in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/top-10-other\/\"\u003eTop 10 list of other spirits\u003c\/a\u003e, or explore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/other\/?price=0-50\"\u003eBest other spirits under $50\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Caskers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51411722731733,"sku":null,"price":46.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7810\/6581\/files\/onyx1_1_1.png?v=1745568354","url":"https:\/\/www.swiglab.com\/products\/onyx-moonshine","provider":"SwigLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
