Kentucky Mist Moonshine joins KDA

Kentucky Mist Moonshine has been announced as the newest member of non-profit trade group the Kentucky Distillers’ Association (KDA).

Kentucky Mist Moonshine is the 28th member to join the non-profit trade group

Kentucky Mist Moonshine will become the 28th member to join the trade organisation, which unites the state’s Bourbon and distilled spirits industry.

Owner of Kentucky Mist, Colin Fultz, drew upon his grandfather Henry Holbrook’s bootlegging history in the hills of Appalachia to create flavoured moonshines, using locally grown fruits and recipes passed down for generations.

“Colin and his team have done a fantastic job in resurrecting his family’s legacy and bringing jobs and tourism to this critical region of Kentucky,” said KDA president Eric Gregory. “We are inspired by their success and proudly welcome them to our distilling family.”

Fultz said: “Kentucky Mist is a craft distillery born from a deep heritage of distilling spirits in eastern Kentucky. We take pride in distilling every drop of alcohol used in our products and making flavoured moonshine using whole fruit for the most genuine of taste.

“We are very excited and thankful to be the newest members of the KDA and look forward to growing our relationship and our passion for spirits for many years to come.”

Kentucky Mist opened in 2015 in Whitesburg in the heart of eastern Kentucky coal country.

Products include flavoured moonshines such as Lemonade, Apple Pie and Caramel Apple, and others infused with blackberries, cherries, grapes and peaches. An aged corn moonshine and aged rum also are in the works, Fultz said.
