When Simon Duggan, founder of The Cornish Moonshine Company, came up with the idea of developing a moonshine, he hadn’t quite anticipated that his playful plans had the makings of a prosperous business model. Since deciding to ‘take a punt’ and produce 200 litres of moonshine, all made from 100% Cornish barley, Simon has been overwhelmed by the demand. Based in St Austell, he branded the unaged white whiskey ‘Cornish Moonshine’ and soon named his company accordingly. Employed by Simon, proven entrepeneur, Hamish Ludbrook tells us: “The Cornish Moonshine experience is an interesting one. We always start by allowing our customers to smell the moonshine straight from the bottle. They tend to get a fright, because it smells like it could singe your nose hairs! However once they build up the courage to take a sip, they find it to be one of the smoothest ti es they ve ever tasted.” It’s no surprise then that this unique Cornish product has taken the Cornish drinks market by storm and this coming Christmas, we expect that there’ll be a bottle or two conspicuously wrapped beneath more than a few trees.
