JB Rader's Hooch 103
New Look. Same Authentic Mountain Heritage. Formerly known as JB Rader's 103 Proof Moonshine, Hooch 103 steps into a bold new era with rebranded packaging, while keeping the exact same uncut, backwoods recipe that JB Rader and Popcorn made side-by-side back in the day. Unfiltered, uncompromised, and distilled in 100% traditional copper pot stills, Hooch 103 remains the gold standard of real Appalachian moonshine.
Product Overview & Tasting Notes
Proof: 103 (51.5% ABV)
Flavor Profile: Earthy corn mash with a smooth, lingering warmth. Unapologetically bold yet clean on the palate, carrying the signature sweetness of raw grain balanced by the bite of authentic mountain shine.
Aroma: Fresh corn, warm grain, and subtle mineral undertones from traditional copper distillation.
Finish: Strong, robust, and exceptionally smooth for 103 proof, leaving a long, traditional Appalachian "hug."
The Same Legendary Recipe
While the label has evolved to Hooch 103, the spirit inside the jar hasn't changed a bit. JB Rader learned the craft of mountain distillation through decades of hands-on experience in the hollers, mastering the delicate balance of copper, corn, and patience alongside Popcorn. Every drop pays homage to that unwritten history, offering an authentic taste of freedom and American craftsmanship, poured straight from the copper still to your glass.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy it straight out of the jar, over a single drop of ice, or as a high-proof base for classic mountain cocktails.
