Sutton's Beauty (Apple Pie Moonshine)
Description
Popcorn Sutton is a legend in the world of moonshine. If you've never heard of him . . . google it! Sutton Beauty is a type of apple. Thus, Sutton's Beauty . . . my attempt at an apple pie moonshine.
INW Two Apples/CAP Cinnamon Sugar/WF Caramel Butter/FA Vanilla Bourbon makes up the "apple pie" side of this recipe. I wanted a subtle cinnamon mixed with a buttery caramel layered with the apples. I knew I wanted some vanilla, but nothing overly creamy. I opted for FA Vanilla Bourbon . . . I thought it would play nice with the moonshine side the recipe.
I used Liquid Amber to add a little cooked/fermented layer to the apples.
I went with the combo of Kentucky Bourbon and Whisky for the moonshine aspect, though moonshine is typically a white, or clear, whiskey produced and sold without any aging. This does a good job of bringing a subtle booziness to the caramel/cinnamon apples.
I'm really enjoying this as a SNV . . . mixed it up 60vg/40pg. Enjoy!Recipe
