About Us
Almost a hundred years ago in the United States the 18th amendment was passed banning the production, sale and distribution of alcohol. The clandestine era of distilling by moonlight had begun.
Farmers quickly began to produce Moonshine in their back yards to meet the demand of the smugglers and bootleggers who took great risk in moving the moonshine by night. They bottled in Mason jars so at not to raise suspicion from the authorities who were quickly hot on their trail. O’Donnell Moonshine aims to bring the spirit and taste of those times back to the 21st century.
Our moonshine is made using traditional methods, the best available ingredients and bottled in those same traditional American “Mason Jars”.
O’Donnell Moonshine is proud to offer 3 liquors to date “Roasted Apple” (20% ABV) with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla, “Bitter Rose” (25% ABV) made with Grapefruit and our “Tough Nut” (25% ABV) made from Hazelnut, Caramel and a hint of whiskey. And of course, our core spirit, aka: the already infamous “High Proof” (50% ABV) is a smooth wheat based spirit distilled within traditional methods for an easy finish.
Just brought from the Oxford Christmas Market. Was unbelievable how smooth the drink was as a 50% strength spirit. Could drink straight with ease and tastes amazing with any mixer. – Tough Nut

The only problem with this stuff… there isn’t enough of it!! It’s beautifully balanced bottled bliss and my new absolute favourite tipple! - Roasted Apple

Found at great British tattoo convention 2018. Had 3 jars since may. Tough Nut is the s**t son!

This stuff is delicious. I have found myself drinking it straight out of the jar. My other half has even stopped giving me strange looks because he’s tasted it and understands why I couldn’t wait for a glass. - Bitter Rose
Blue
Wow! Absolutely love this product. Bought it to try as we had run out of our favourite toffee vodka. This product is far superior to any other similar product that I have tasted. Smooth, rich toffee flavour and with a punch at 50 proof. Get one while they’re still available! - Sticky Toffee
