Old Fashioned Moonshine Strikes Gold Again
2 Medals in 7 Days for Dark Corner Distillery

Acacia honey, caramel corn and pudding pie are not the first flavors that come to mind when conjuring up the image of moonshine; but that’s exactly how the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI) described Dark Corner Distillery’s Moonshine at the 2014 International Review of Spirits. “Amazingly smooth and balanced at proof with great subtle sweet corn flavors. Great Moonshine,” stated the BTI tasting panel.

The judges enjoyed it so much they awarded it a Gold Medal and 92 out of 100 points. This highly coveted award raises the total medal count for Dark Corner’s flagship Moonshine to 15, only after receiving a Silver Medal from the Inaugural Straight Up Texas Spirits Competition earlier the same week.

The Beverage Testing Institute was founded in 1981 with the objective of providing fair and impartial reviews for consumers. Spirits from all over the world are judged blindly on nose, palate, balance and finish. This year’s judging took place on February 26th in Chicago, IL.

Founded in 2011, Dark Corner Distillery is a Greenville, SC based micro distillery most famous for producing the World’s Best Moonshine. Defined by heritage, the distillery offers visitors to the store on Greenville’s Main Street a unique experience, including product tastings, distillery tours and distiller training courses.
