Production & Heritage

Piedmont Distillers holds the distinction of being the first legal distillery in North Carolina since Prohibition, and the Midnight Moon brand draws directly from the state's deep moonshining tradition. The base spirit starts with a 100% American corn mashbill, which is triple-distilled and blended with ultra-clean water that undergoes a five-step filtration process using Blue Ridge Mountain water. The result is a remarkably smooth, neutral corn shine that serves as the canvas for the peanut butter flavoring — allowing the nutty, roasted character to come through without harsh grain notes or excessive burn.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh roasted peanuts arrive immediately, followed by soft vanilla and warm grain. There is a gentle sweetness underneath that recalls peanut brittle more than raw peanut butter.

Taste: The entry is sweet and distinctly nutty, with bold peanut butter flavor dominating the mid-palate. The corn shine backbone keeps things clean rather than cloying, and a faint vanilla sweetness rounds out the profile. At 50 proof, the mouthfeel is light and accessible with minimal alcohol bite.

Finish: A gentle, low heat fades into lingering notes of peanut and creamy caramel. The finish is short to medium, leaving a pleasant roasted-nut aftertaste that doesn't overstay its welcome.

How to Drink Midnight Moon Peanut Butter

Chilled or over ice is the simplest approach and showcases the peanut butter character without dilution masking the flavor. At 25% ABV, this moonshine is already approachable enough to sip straight from the freezer.

• Peanut Butter Cup Martini: Shake with chocolate liqueur and cream for a dessert cocktail that leans into the candy-bar flavor profile.
• PB&J Shot: Combine with a raspberry or strawberry liqueur for a nostalgic pairing that balances nutty sweetness with tart fruit.
• Nutty White Russian: Substitute this moonshine for vodka in a classic White Russian — the peanut butter adds a roasted depth to the coffee and cream combination.

• Introducing friends to flavored moonshine with a crowd-pleasing profile
• Fun gift for peanut butter lovers or novelty spirit collectors
• Tailgates, game-day gatherings, and casual get-togethers that call for easy-drinking spirits

Why Midnight Moon Peanut Butter?

What separates this expression from the growing number of peanut butter-flavored spirits on the market is its base: a triple-distilled, 100% American corn moonshine filtered through a five-step water purification process. That clean foundation means the peanut butter flavor reads as roasted and authentic rather than artificially syrupy. Piedmont Distillers' heritage as North Carolina's first post-Prohibition distillery lends genuine credibility to the moonshine category in a way that many competitors cannot match. At 50 proof, it occupies a practical sweet spot — flavorful enough to sip chilled but versatile enough to anchor creative cocktails without overwhelming a drink with alcohol heat.
