25 year old Spirit Founder Ben Murphy came up with the idea for a moonshine brand while he was at college in Appalachia USA. After graduation he took the idea back to his hometown in Ontario, Canada where he combined the artistry of a Master Chef and chemistry of a Mad Scientist to perfect his recipe for one of the worlds best tasting Moonshine Brands.

His brand has caught the eye of distribution groups in New York and Florida to help the USA launch of such flavors as Apple Pie, Cherry and Habanero Honey. Tune in to hear his ups and downs, how he told Mom and Dad and how he found mentors back in college to help him think out his dream.
