Troy & Sons Platinum Whiskey

The first true American Moonshine, honoring the spirit makers that produced for the circuit riding preachers of the 1800's. We are the only distillery in the world producing spirits made from 1840's Crooked Creek Corn, so we know we are producing a true Authentic American Spirit. It's our pleasure to bring to you The World's Finest Moonshine. On August 18, 2010, Troy distilled the perfect white liquor, using lost Crooked Creek Corn, smooth as silk with vanilla oak undertones. True mountain moonshine is made from corn, and we hunted throughout the WNC mountains for the perfect strain and found it just a few miles from Asheville. The corn had become virtually extinct everywhere except on the McEntire Farm, believed to be lost from Eastern Tennessee since 1840. Crooked Creek Corn is an heirloom open-pollinated white corn that has been grown on the McEntire farm for over one hundred twenty years. Analyzed by researchers at the University of Tennessee, this "lost corn" is an unadulterated, non-genetically modified original American corn, making our moonshine a true American spirit. Distillers never fail to mention the quality of their water and the importance of this water in making fine spirits. Troy & Sons is situated in the middle of the world's oldest mountains, and the water from the Blue Ridge Mountains is pristine, pure and plentiful. The abundance of hidden creeks made distilling possible, and early settlers didn't have to travel far to find free running, wild water that is naturally cold and soft. As we say in the hills, we use the water first. Think about it.
