Peanut butter liquors typically have a nostalgic flavor that is both smooth and savory, instantly transforming any cocktail into a standout.

How Midnight Moon Outshines Other Peanut Butter-Flavored Whiskeys 

You might be familiar with peanut butter whiskey, but let us introduce its bolder, more adventurous cousin—Midnight Moon Peanut Butter Moonshine. Here’s how we stand out from the pack:

•  Quality and Tradition: Every jar of Midnight Moon is handcrafted in small batches at Piedmont Distillers in North Carolina, the state’s first legal distillery since Prohibition. While flavored whiskeys are known for their smoothness, our moonshine recipe offers a bolder, crisper edge. Triple-distilled with Blue Ridge Mountain water, each sip delivers an ultra-smooth finish without losing that bold kick. Craft, tradition, and a touch of moonshine magic all in one jar.

•  Balanced Flavor, Big Kick: Other peanut butter whiskeys might sweet-talk you, but we keep it real keep it real. Midnight Moon Peanut Butter strikes a perfect balance between creamy, nutty richness and the powerful punch of moonshine. It’s smooth enough to sip but bold enough to stand out. We call that “peanut butter bliss.”

•  Cocktail Versatility: Our Peanut Butter Moonshine is a true multitasker in the world of mixology. Whether sipped straight or mixed into a cocktail, this spirit holds its own. Unlike other peanut butter-flavored whiskeys that may fade into the mix, our moonshine’s robust flavor adds rich, nutty depth to any drink you dream up.

 

In short, Midnight Moon Peanut Butter isn’t just another flavored moonshine —it’s a smooth, bold sipping experience that leaves peanut butter whiskeys in the dust. It’s time to embrace the nutty, adventurous side of moonshine! Learn more about how to make moonshine here.
