Health Benefits of Bourbon

What a surprising headline. Does whiskey, bourbon, and moonshine have real benefits? The short answer is "yes." Short Mountain Distillery, the makers of Tennessee moonshine and special bourbon, want you to know the health benefits of their hand crafted special blends.

Many believe drinking any alcohol is bad for a body, but there are actual advantages to moderate bourbon consumption.  Here are a few reasons for adding bourbon to your diet.




Protecting the Heart - Bourbon helps prevent clots in the arteries, which reduces ones chance of a heart attack and stroke. The antioxidants help by restricting the oxidation of lipoproteins in the blood, the major cause of heart attacks.

Weight Issues - Nutritionally, this after dinner drink contains only 65 calories per serving and is a low energy drink. One or two ounces a day can help a person maintain their current weight.

Mental Health - Bourbon helps slow down Alzheimer's and dementia at the onset. Whiskey also makes brain activities more efficient, even at an advanced age. 

Other advantages of Bourbon, if it has farm fresh organic ingredients, and from a good distillery, such as the Short Mountain Distillery, range from mild to serious. Studies show you can use bourbon as a cancer preventative, as well as the cure for the common cold and flu.  

Local moonshine can help your health in many different ways. However, you will need to drink responsibly and with moderation to continue to feel great. Never drink and drive.   

Short Mountain Distillery offers distillery tours with tasting of several of their award-winning bourbon and other spirits. After a tour, enjoy farm-to-table meals at the Stillhouse restaurant.
