O’Donnell Moonshine is where tradition meets a new world of taste. Just like gangsters of the American Prohibition, we bottle our liqueur in stylish preserving jars known as Mason Jars. 'Moonshine' is the illegally distilled alcohol of the era, and our name derives from the leader of one of the most notorious Moonshine gangs in Chicago; Mr Spike O'Donnell.
The origin of our Moonshine lies in the beginning of 20th century America — the time of Prohibition. Throughout the 1920s, the sale and production of any alcoholic beverages was completely prohibited which led to devastating consequences. During this period, unemployment was followed by a sharp rise in crime and corruption. The citizens rebelled by continuing to illegally distil the liqueur on farms, sell it to smugglers known as "bootleggers" and serve it in "speakeasy" bars. On top of all this, drinking continued and the smuggler gangs took control of the alcohol business. Consequently, the state lost considerable tax revenue and eventually the law was repealed by then-President Roosevelt.
