Full Throttle’s Legendary S’Loonshine

If a guest wants a spirit that is 100% specific to Full Throttle, they are looking for S’Loonshine.

This is Full Throttle’s custom moonshine, named after the famous saloon. It shows the boldest traditions of American distilling. It is special because the recipe is proprietary, giving it a distinct smoothness and kick. Visitors can only get the original S’Loonshine flavor and the unique packaging here in Deadwood. Tourists and fans of the culture value this special spirit.

Also, S’Loonshine is great for mixing into cocktails, enjoying as a shot, or simply sipping straight to toast to the outlaw spirit of the Black Hills.
