Sugarlands Shine Blockader's Blackberry Moonshine

Blockader's Blackberry is one of the original flavors from Sugarlands Distilling Company, the Gatlinburg, Tennessee distillery that opened in 2014 at 805 Parkway, right on the main drag at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains, and named for the Sugarlands area of the national park that was once nicknamed moonshiners' paradise. Sugarlands distills on site, with the stills visible from the street, and its moonshines start from a corn-based spirit in the Tennessee tradition before the flavored versions are built on top of it and bottled in the brand's signature mason jar. Blockader's Blackberry was already in the lineup when the distillery's first Legends Series release came out in December 2014, and it has stayed a core jar ever since. It is bottled at 40 proof (20% ABV) in a 750ml jar, which puts it in sipping-liqueur territory rather than high-test shine. The distillery describes it as ripe blackberry layered with the floral fragrance of honeysuckle and lavender, with a velvety mouthfeel and a long, nectarous finish. Pour it over ice, top it with lemonade or soda, or use it in place of crème de mûre in a Bramble.
