Mountain Moonshine - Final Release

Published May 2025. Details may have changed.

Apline Distilling is proud to unveil the final release of Mountain Moonshine—a 100% corn whiskey, handcrafted by our Founder & Master Distiller, Rob Sergent.

Rooted in Appalachian tradition and refined in the heart of Park City, this small-batch spirit is available exclusively at @alpineparkcity and our Distillery, while supplies last.

Made from a traditional mash of stone-ground cornmeal and cracked corn, Mountain Moonshine is slow-fermented to develop depth and character, then distilled just under 160 proof. The result: a clean, sweet whiskey with a delicate kiss of barrel age—honoring Rob Sergent’s Kentucky roots and dedication to the art of slow craft.

“Mountain Moonshine represents the heart of traditional American distilling—pure corn, slow craft, and a commitment to flavor.”— Rob Sergent

To mark this final batch, Alpine Distilling is launching a curated cocktail collection that celebrates the spirit’s rich heritage and versatility.
