O'Donnell Moonshine
Odourless, flavourless, potent and super-smooth High Proof O’Donnell Moonshine is the real deal. This Manchester-based business has recreated the elicit alcohol experience as would have been smuggled into the Chicago speakeasies by leading Irish American gangster, O’Donnell. In the time of prohibition, farmers took to their barns to create spirits under the light of moonshine using grains, potatoes or other veg disguising it in jam and honey mason jars as the authorities were on the lookout for large bottle purchases. Also blended into delicious liqueurs, this moonshine collection is super drink-easy.
https://dippletipple.com/products/roast ... moonshine/
Roasted Apple is a smooth and tempting moonshine liqueur, a delectable combination of apples, almond, cinnamon and vanilla blended with our high-proof spirit. These sumptuous flavours are then tied together with a squeeze of lemon added just moments before bottling.
https://odonnellmoonshine.co.uk/products/roasted-apple
My guess is its a Neutral Base then flavours and sugar are added.
You could start by looking up the numerous "apple pie" recipes available on the net, the drink not the pies. Work from those recipes till you get the result that you want.
I doubt that this stuff has much to do with the crushing, fermenting or distillation of apples.
Going to need a good reflux still to make the neutral.

+1 on the neutral with additives. There are literally hundreds of recipes out there Dodgy. Apple juice and 118
:EDIT: NZC hit it on the head. In fact I think I’m going to save that recipe for myself. Thank you sir :thumbup:

For my next 3 batches I used Walmart brand jugs of juice. I would buy a few jugs at a time until I accumulated about 25 gallons. I would also add several cans of concentrate to boost the gravity a bit. For the first 3 batches I used ec-1118 yeast and for the most recent batch, I used 71b-1122. I believe the 1122 made a bit of flavor improvement.


is this the bit your referring to please

Gotta love marketing wanks. I'd be amazed if the original product was anywhere even close to odourless or flavorless. :lol:

Not to mention that the original would have likely only crossed state lines ... not country borders as with O'Donnell's. As per their website:


All our Moonshines are made out of the best quality ingredients and are vegan, allergen & gluten free as well as free of any artificial preservatives. Distilled & bottled in Germany with strict adherence to distilling regulations, our Moonshines are of premium quality.

Well, I'd agree if you said crossing oceans, but crossing international borders yes it absolutely did. In fact some of the booze Capone sold came in by rail from Moose jaw Canada.

Lot of different "interpretations" of apple shine.
A few years ago I was in a discussion how roasting brings out more flavors of apples & peaches - I'm sure other fruits as well.
Just wondering, depending on exactly what you're looking for, if anyone has tried Panty Dropper with roasted apples?

I've done my bit by linking to S-Cackalacky's method. It's up to you to make it your own or size it for your still. I've used the idea to put down a ferment that will be bottled and primed to make sparkling hard cider.
