XXX Shine

All the charm and comfort of southern sweet tea with a twist of lemon and a shot of Moonshine to keep the smile on your face.

Philadelphia Distilling was the first craft distiller in Pennsylvania since Prohibition. In 2005 when the law where opened up and the founders applied for their license, the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board officials had to make one up because an official form did not yet exist. Their first product was the patriotically-named Bluecoat Gin. And it was a success. Fifteen years later they have expanded, added new stills, and developed a range of quality Gins, Vodka, and even Absinth.

So, why are there three Xs in the name of XXX Shine LiberTea? The same thing it has meant for more than one hundred years. When you are talking about Moonshine, the Xs on the jug or bottle indicated how many times it had been distilled. Generally, three of those Xs was as hard or strong as you could get.

XXX Shine LiberTea is triple-distilled corn Spirit — White Lightning — that has been infused with natural tea, a bit of real honey, and a twist of lemon. It tastes like hometown southern sweet tea with a serious kick. It tastes great on the rocks for a warm afternoon tipple, but mix it 50/50 with lemonade and you have a nicely intoxicating Arnold Palmer cocktail.
