So far, Copper Creek Distillery has produced three different flavors of moonshine: apple and grape (both 80 proof) and straight regular moonshine called “Il-Lic-It,” which is 90 proof. Owners Greg Shuford and Randy Berry plan to make brandy and their special signature heirloom blend. They intend to add four other flavors of moonshine: apple pie, peach, chocolate and coffee. Those will be 60 proof.
After much work and effort, Copper Creek Distillery in Marion is producing quality liquor that is “hand crafted one drop at a time.”
