Review: Catdaddy Moonshine
Catdaddy Moonshine was introduced in 2005 by the Piedmont Distillers in Madison North Carolina. They would later launch the Midnight Moon line of moonshine. It is handcrafted in small batches from corn and triple distilled. A blend of spices is then infused before bottling at 80 proof. While the video with Kate Upton dancing to the Rej3ctz Catdaddy single may be quite entertaining, this was done to support the 2012 Daytona 500 race where she was named the Grand Marshall, and not to support the moonshine. My guess is it still helped Piedmont sell very many bottles of Catdaddy. Read more
