History
Fog's End Distillery originally started business as C&C Shine LLC, but after a short and disappointing partnership. Craig Pakish bought out his partner and branded the business Fog's End Distillery. In his book, "Modern Moonshine Techniques", Bill Ownes presents C&C Shine as a how-to example start-up craft distillery on a shoe string budget. Craig Pakish for his part started the distillery as a second career having retired from the Monterrey Sheriffs Department after 24 years on the force.
Production
The distillery operates a single 60-gallon all copper still. The still is direct fired by natural gas. The design of the still is a traditional Arkansas Diamond type design. The Wash (distilling) uses is a traditional no-cook, sour-mash whiskey recipe.
