Charred Shine: Small Batch Artisanal Tennessee Moonshine

Introducing Charred Shine

It’s just another day dreaming and bottling up inspired new spirits here at Short Mountain Distillery. We take great pride in bringing you the the finest flavors in Small Batch Artisanal acter Tennessee Moonshines that perfectly blend the best today with the history and traditions of our rich heritage. Introducing Charred Shine Tennessee Moonshine. With just bottled 650 bottles available, it’s not going to be around for long.

Perfect Unique Tennessee Christmas Gift

Charred Shine is a barreled spirit that is very rare and exceptionally smooth. The bottle design features Cole Washburns’ 'Traveler's Moon' Coin, which well matches the character and quality of this original batch. If you’re looking for a unique Tennessee gift this Christmas, pick up a bottle or two of Charred Shine, before it’s all gone. While you’re at it, go ahead and pick up a couple for yourself, too. Trust me, you’ll thank us later. Or sooner.

You can taste the history

You see, with Short Mountain Distillery’s Tennessee Moonshine, you can actually taste the history. Short Mountain has a long, rich history producing some of the finest moonshine in all of the United States. Following the civil war, there were 18 legal distilleries operating in the area. Although Prohibition in 1920 attempted to permanently erase all traces of moonshine from the land, the heritage of whiskey making lived on. At Short Mountain Distillery, we are proud to be a part of honoring that rich heritage today. Why don’t you stop in and see us? We’d love to show you around.

Stillhouse Restaurant: Spectacular Simplicity

The Discovery

Do you remember, as a child, the first time you stumbled upon that seemingly ordinary rock that once unearthed, revealed the most fantastic crystalline treasure inside? It became your most prized discovery. When you couldn’t carry it with you, it remained a precious secret carried in your heart until you could hurry back to marvel at its spectacular beauty again. Discovering Stillhouse Restaurant for the first time is a lot like that. Except that, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t keep the secret to yourself. The experience is simply too scintillating not to share.

A Rustic, Unadorned Gem

Perhaps it’s the beautifully evocative natural setting. Tucked away in the heart of Tennessee, amidst rolling hills and dappled trees, lies a rustic, unadorned gem. That rare gem is Stillhouse Restaurant, birthed earlier this year within Woodbury Tennessee’s 300 acre Short Mountain Farm. The property is also home to the award winning Short Mountain Distillery, which is quickly emerging as the region’s favorite producer of Tennessee bourbon and artisanal moonshine.

An Inspired Menu

The menu at Stillhouse Restaurant features a refreshingly creative meld of traditional Southern-American dishes, reimagined in exciting new ways. Many dishes are inspired by Stillhouse’s namesake, the adjacent distillery, such as the Short Mountain Shine Burger, or the Stillhouse Catfish. Other favorite menu items include Shrimp & Smoked Gouda Grits, Braveheart Black Angus Ribeye, and a classic Southern pick 4 that might include White Beans & Ham, Fried Okra, Mac & Cheese, and Sauteed Greens. And you just may want to come back for a late breakfast of Chicken & Waffles from the lunch menu!

Locally Sourced Farm-to-Table

Possibly the most appealing aspect of the Stillhouse Restaurant is the manner in which they approach the menu. Relying as heavily as possible on seasonally fresh, locally sourced ingredients in a farm-to-table approach, Stillhouse achieves a rare symbiosis of refined simplicity and sophistication. Says owner Todd Hollandsworth, “Every sauce and entree is made from scratch. We buy as organic and local as we can for the freshest Southern dishes.”

Less Than an Hour Away

The Stillhouse Restaurant is less than an hour away from Nashville. It is an excellent choice for a romantic dinner with artfully hand-crafted cocktails and a constantly changing selection of desserts made fresh daily. Lunch patrons often gravitate to the fresh-made daily soup and salad bar, and after, head over for a leisurely tour of nearby Short Mountain Distillery. Looking for a space for your special event? You can always reserve the grand banquet room, with or without catering by Stillhouse. Need gluten-free or vegan options? No problem.

Apple Season at Short Mountain Distillery

When the heat of summer gives way to a crisp, cool Tennessee autumn, Short Mountain Distillery celebrates with Apple Pie Tennessee Moonshine. This type of moonshine is available all year; however, the best time to enjoy it is when the air is crisp and sweaters are the fashion.

Benefits of eating apples or adding them to delicious recipes and drinks are vast. Here are three of the top health benefits of apples.

1. Weight Loss - These little red, and green and golden fruits are less in calories and fill you up. They are a sweet, satisfying snack and add a wonderful flavor to moonshine. Apple pie moonshine from the Short Mountain Distillery is a great after dinner drink, with or without a slice of pie.

2. Heart Health - Apples are great for protecting your heart. They are a part of the "eat red" campaign and helps strengthen your heart from the inside out. This glossy fruit packs 14% of the daily value of immune-boosting vitamin C.

3. Antioxidants - Apples are loaded with antioxidant compounds, which prevent the bad cholesterol (LDL) from inhibiting inflammation and from oxidizing.

Nashville, Tennessee moonshine, from the Short Mountain Distillery, comes in several flavors. Created using all natural ingredients like brown sugar, pure apple juice, cinnamon and the family recipe of moonshine, Apple Pie Moonshine exceeds every expectation for taste and apple content.

For a delicious apple inspired cocktail, begin with 1 ¼ ounce of Short Mountain Moonshine. Add a dash of vanilla and 4 ounces of apple cider vinegar. Use a cinnamon stick for a garnish, and for an extra special treat, cover the glass rim with brown sugar.

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.
