Sugarlands Shine Patti's Wild Mayhaw Moonshine, Tennessee, USA

Sugarland’s Legend Series is in honor of legendary moonshiners like Patti Bryan, who comes from a long line of moonshiners. Growing up in rural Louisiana she was raised by her third generation moonshiner father, who took great pride in Patti’s natural moonshining abilities. Patti, who is now a mother, business owner, hunter, and angler, has a passion for moonshining that shines through her Wild Mayhaw moonshine spirit. The inspiration behind Patti’s Wild Mayhaw moonshine is the hawthorn berry (Mayhaw being its colloquial name) a native American fruit, which grows in the Southern U.S., predominantly in Louisiana. The berry gets its name from the time of year that it’s harvested: every May. When the spring-time fruit gets plucked from the tree branch, it’s taste is tart and bitter, very similar in flavor to a cranberry. Hawthorn berries are most popularly combined with sugar, and made into sweet Mayhaw jelly. Patti’s signature wild Mayhaw shine balances the sweetness of Mayhaw jelly and the natural tartness of the native Louisiana berry. Bottled at 55 Proof. Pick up your Patti’s Wild Mayhaw today!
