During my visit, I had the opportunity to taste some of Moonrise Distillery's offerings, and I was blown away by the complexity and depth of flavor. The bourbon had a rich, velvety texture with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak, while the rye had a bold spiciness and a smooth finish. It was evident that every detail, from the selection of grains to the aging process, had been carefully considered to create a truly exceptional product.
In addition to their commitment to quality, the family behind Moonrise Distillery is also incredibly warm and welcoming.
