Available legally for the first time in 2017, Neeley Family Distillery’s Kentucky Moonshine has provided the fuel for the Neeley’s long, storied history of Appalachian bootlegging for eleven unbroken generations of distillers and moonshiners. Distilled from a closely guarded recipe unchanged since 1913, when Royce Neeley’s great grandfather modified the family’s original recipe with the addition of sugar, this moonshine is triple distilled and utilizes a thumper charged with calcium-rich, limestone filtered water. After coming off the still at a fiery 63.5% ABV, the spirit is gently proofed down to a formidable 60.1%—the same ABV as the moonshine Royce illegally distilled and sold in college.
