Stephen Gertman, Master
Distiller, organized Ascendant Spirits with
the help from friends and family in late 2011. It is the first craft distillery
in Santa Barbara County to legally produce whisky, vodka,
moonshine, and other spirits since prohibition. Ascendant Spirits uses
the best American grains and local organic produce to make its distinctive,
handcrafted spirits. A 500-gallon American-made custom-built copper still is used
to patiently produce small batches of distinctive spirits.
Silver Lightning Moonshine is
ultra-premium moonshine with floral and maize (from the 100% American yellow
corn) notes and a mildly sweet finish. It is also received the 2013 Double Gold
Winner at the New York International Spirits Competition. The SoCal MoonshineFlash is a fun drink with the agave syrup adding a
caramel-like flavor and tangy zing from lime juice. The lime juice actually
softens the moonshine’s harsh bite (straight up). It’s strong stuff but could
easily be used as a vodka alternative.
