    Onyx Moonshine is an American twice-distilled alcoholic beverage. Although legally produced, it is marketed as "moonshine".[1] It is made in a microdistillery in East Hartford, Connecticut.[2][3] It was the official spirit of the 2012 Grammy Awards.[4]

    Production[edit]

    Onyx Spirits, the company that produces Onyx Moonshine, was founded by Adam von Gootkin and Peter Kowalczyk in 2011.[5]

    The product is distilled in reflux column stills from a mash of mixed corn and grain. After two distillations it is approximately 80% ABV, and is then diluted to bottling strength. The bottles are corked and labeled by hand.[5]

    The product is distributed in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.[6]
