Everything about Josh Lindler, owner of JAKAL Distillery, says backwoods, Southern and downhome. That is by design. Located in Lexington, JAKAL produces a line of craft moonshine, corn whiskey and rum, all guided by Josh’s self-taught expertise.
Josh got the idea of making his own moonshine six years ago after buying and tasting other less-than-legal moonshine. He felt he could make a better shine and decided to give it a try. “When I first started,” Josh says, “I didn’t have anyone to teach me, so I taught myself. I read up on the process, kinda learned to pick my way through it.”
Remaining true to the moonshine tradition was important to Josh. In fact, he taught himself the craft like so many before him… in the woods, in the middle of the night with only the company of his still and the moon. He purchased his first still, which was made out of a steel drum, and worked on his process and recipe for an entire year before he felt he had created “his shine.” He admits that he ruined a lot of first batches.
