Sugarlands Butterscotch Gold Moonshine

Product Description

Sugarlands Butterscotch Gold: Kettle Corn at the County Fair, Bottled

In the mid-1800s, a handful of European settlers from Ireland and Scotland made their home in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Due to the abundance of sugar maple trees in the area, they affectionately renamed it the "Sugarlands." To this day, the region's rich land, abundant corn, and predominance of sugar maple trees have made it a moonshiner's paradise, and Sugarlands Distilling Co. carries that legacy forward from its home in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where the distillery first opened its doors in 2014.

Butterscotch Gold brings out tastes of brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla that call to mind memories of kettle corn at the county fair, layered with slight hazelnut notes and a lingering cream flavor that contributes to a long, welcome finish. It's a genuinely nostalgic, indulgent moonshine, decadent enough for dessert lovers while remaining smooth and easy to sip or mix. That quality has earned real recognition, Butterscotch Gold has taken home a Platinum Medal at the SIPS Awards and a Silver Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Whether sipped over ice, blended into coffee, or drizzled into a dessert cocktail, Sugarlands Butterscotch Gold delivers the comforting, candy-shop sweetness its name promises.
