Moonshine has long been associated with a particular image but MoShine is a new brand that's challenging those preconceptions. MoShine is the newest venture from Multi-Grammy winning, diamond-selling hip-hop superstar and entrepreneur Nelly that offers a playful nod to his hometown St. Louis, MO.
MoShine comes in two flavors, Peach and Passion Fruit, and its rule-breaking spirit mirrors that of the music icon. This triple-distilled, corn-based moonshine was developed in collaboration with award-winning Piedmont Distillers and the versatile end product is smooth enough for shooting or pairing with a wide variety of mixers like lemon-lime soda, sweet tea, lemonade or even energy drinks.
As Nelly says, "I'm taking a country tradition and mixing it up for everyone to enjoy."
