Sugarlands Shine Mark and Digger’s Rye Apple Moonshine

Sugarlands Mark & Digger's Rye Apple Moonshine is from the Legends Series — master distillers Mark Ramsey and Digger Manes' East Tennessee heritage applied to a pure rye spirit infused with juicy gala apples and a refined blend of nutmeg, allspice, and clove that brings traditional pie spice complexity to the rye's earthy, grain-forward backbone.

The combination of rye grain and apple is a natural one — rye's spicy, earthy character provides a counterpoint to the sweetness and tartness of apple in a way that corn-based moonshine doesn't achieve. Mark and Digger's version uses gala apples for their sweet-crisp balance and layers in nutmeg, allspice, and clove to add warmth and depth. The result is an aromatic, warming moonshine that captures the essence of East Tennessee autumn and the craft knowledge of two of Appalachia's most celebrated distilling figures.
