    Moonshine sampling
    Andrea B.

    This was such a fun place to visit in Mount Dora! Serving up some delicious flavors of moonshine with plenty of choices of drinks and moonshine to take home. It's a very small place but there's plenty of seating outside to enjoy your drinks and luckily for us it was a perfect day outside. They offer a sampling for only $8 and you get to sample 9 of their moonshine flavors. Blueberry muffin moonshine was my personal favorite! The staff here were all so nice and informative and it was great to hear a little bit of history about moonshine.

    We had the Moonshine tasting. 8 yummy flavors of moonshine. I would highly recommend. The coffee flavored one was my favorite, then the lemonade and peach flavored ones. The server, Blake was adorable and very informative. The shop is small, but so nicely decorated and designed. If you are a drinker, I would highly recommend this cute shop for your moonshine needs.

    I saw the tik tik about this place and I definitely had to go here!! The hostess at the front told my boyfriend and I all about the place and how her grandma came to make it. Her name was Annie and she was the sweetest- I had the blueberry muffin shine with lemonade and it was only $13. I got it in a little Togo cup. You need to stop here when visiting Mount Dora!!

    This is such a fun place! There are so many flavors of moonshine so I'd recommend the tasting (but they have strict no sharing rules). For $8, it is a substantial amount of moonshine to try. You can opt out off any of the tastes or ask for half portions of any flavors you wish. There is a small bar in the back and they make delicious cocktails too! Super friendly folks. Our fave was the Blueberry Muffin so we purchased a bottle for about $36. Definitely will do back for some cocktails next time we are up that way.

    I went into Maws with no opinion, except, "I hope this place is great, because there has been nothing in this Mt. Dora location for such a long time." I went in and was greeted by a nice, enthusiastic, young gentleman, who I believe was one of the family owners. We was set up to provide a shot of around 8 different flavored moonshine options for $5. Seemed like a great intro to their product. Two of us opted in and we got an education on the varying proof of the moonshine and flavors. There is the straight up shine to start and then we moved into the flavors. Their are a lot of options, from iced tea, to watermelon, lemon, etc. I really liked the blueberry. The next thing I'm looking forward to is cooler weather to enjoy a "Maws Mixer" outside on the front porch area.

    It's something different but definitely not your traditional moonshine place. The place is very small and fits the theme of Thunder Mountain at Disney. It's very country and woodsy. Instead of the tour ($8), we went straight to the bar and ordered something similar to a Long Island Iced Tea. It was pretty pricey for the drink, and it seemed a bit watered down. The workers there seemed tired out too so they weren't as friendly. It seemed like working there on a Saturday afternoon was a "chore" for them. Maybe better luck next time with our experience.

    I'm not a huge fan fan of moonshine (always think it's too strong) but Maw's knows how to make really delicious moonshine- you have to try the moonshine tasting - the best conversations with the staff and how he explains how they make it and the different flavors is amazing. I do know that every time I walk in the staff makes you really feel like old friends and it's amazing! They have seasonal flavors that you need to try. It's not all about the shots either they actually have mixed drinks ti enjoy in the back and with the new seasonal summer flavor cotton Candy I have to go back to see if how the mix it up. It's definitely a must try and explore when you visit mount dora.

    I've had my eye on this cute little house on the corner for SO LONG and I'm thrilled to see that these folks have done such a wonderful job bringing it to life. We actually got there just as they were getting ready to close so, we didn't have the opportunity to try anything but, boy am I excited to go back! The Christmas decor was ON POINT. It's like a holiday dream walking in there right now. Dreamy and romantic Everyone working there was incredibly kind and willing to have a conversation. Honestly, it felt like walking into someone's home. They were incredible. They offer samples and mixed drinks as well as their bottles of Moonshine and witty merch. If you're familiar with some other Moonshine spots they do have some similar flavors like apple pie or the traditional white lightning but, they also have some unique offerings that have my mouth drooling (like strawberry jam!). I'll be sure to update as soon as I get to try everything!

    There was a description of each of the flavors for the tasting

    Maw's is centrally located in downtown Mt Dora. We visited on a Friday evening in December. They are a family owned craft distillery that produces their shine in central Florida. We did the $8 shine tasting which included 9 samples. The samples of each shine were from 40-100 proof. They were sufficient size to get a good taste of the different flavors while not getting impaired. Flavors included White Lightning, 100 proof, Blueberry, 40 proof and seasons Snow Cream, 40 proof which had sparkles in it. I enjoyed all the flavors. The employees were knowledgeable and friendly. Parking is available throughout the town but traffic picks up as it gets later. I recommend a stop into Maw's.

    This was such a fun place! I had heard about it from influencers on IG and I knew I wanted to go. We walked in and were immediately greeted by two friendly men. There is a small amount of seating outside but most of their seating is on the patio outside. Inside there is a tasting area where you can try 9 different moonshines for $12 and their moonshine for sale. They got us with the buy 4 get 1 free sale! They also have a little bar area where you can purchase moonshine cocktails. Their moonshine ranges from 40 proof all the way up to 100 proof. The tasting went from lowest proof and ended with the white lightning which was 100 proof. They will give you a pickle back chaser if you wish, I chose the chaser, lol. Mt. Dora is open container so you can get them to go while you meander around downtown. We opted for the tasting then each got a cocktail. All of the cocktails sound good but we opted for two that were on their special menu since we figured we wouldn't be able to get those all the time. I got a cocktail with the cotton candy moonshine and margarita mix. It sounded strange but thats exactly why I wanted it, because it's not something I'd normally get or be able to get. My BF got the root beer float and it was delicious. Both drinks were very good but his tasted just like a root beer float. They have live music on the patio and apparently it draws a pretty big crowd. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, if you are in Mt. Dora I highly suggest checking it out, it's a fun experience!

They had quite a lineup for tasting. And the samples are free! I enjoyed their orange blossom sweet tea vodka. The orange blossom makes it a little different than the usual sweet tea vodkas. On the menu, they have a John Daly cocktail. As a golfer and a fan of golf, I was destined to enjoy this cocktail. And their prices! Talk about a bargain! My drink was only $7.99. We had a few more samples and then I spied their seasonal frozen drink. It's a spiked "hot" cocoa! That frozen drink was so good. You could not detect the vodka in it but I'm sure it would kick in. I just had a sip of my husband's. So good. The store is super cute. They were busy decorating the place with Christmas stuff- even though Christmas is literally around the corner! Haha. A bit late but much appreciated. They have quite a bit of merchandise. Some is loggerhead and some is just cute gift type- for example- their tea towels are funny! I grabbed two for Christmas gifts. They have shirts, coffee mugs and tons of bar glassware. You can even buy bottles of their spirits. The place is a bit small. There's a Large table that seats about ten people and then standing room. You can see right into their distillery from the windows. Their spirits are offered at a few local restaurants, including The district, which is next door. Parking is along the street. The little lot across from them is gone- it's undergoing construction to be some retail building. Definitely stop by when you're in the area. Have a free taste, get a cocktail and pick up some gifts. Support local!

We are working our way through the Florida Distillery Trail and it's great because we are hitting up distilleries we might not have known about! If you don't know about the passport- https://www.floridacraftspirits.org/florida-distillery-trail/ here it is! The line up- my favorites, Rum and Bourbon/Whiskey. Heck YEAH. I skipped the white rum and went right into the spiced and dark rums- good gracious. The flavors! The dark rum actually tasted more like a good bourbon! Something I have found with some well made dark rums. Same notes, same mouth feel. The bourbon was also delicious and they make a single malt whiskey (Scotch Whiskey without it being called that) and it was seriously hard to pick a favorite! We snagged a bottle of the spiced rum and I convinced John to go with his gut and grab the single malt. He was leaning bourbon, because I lean bourbon- but the single malt would be something a little different on our bar. I would 100% buy these spirits again and I believe Paul said they are carried in ABC liquor stores- so maybe I won't have to drive to Ocala to get it! Yay. Happy stop on the trail!
