Chicken Bones Liqueur flew off of store shelves, with lineups outside of NB Liquor locations last week, as the trucks arrived to drop the stock off.
President of Moonshine Creek Distilleries Jeremiah Clark says their original plan was to make around 25 hundred bottles this Christmas.
Because of the demand, Ganong Brothers Limited has decided to make more of the holiday treat.
Clark says, “Ganong Bros has agreed to make more chicken bones, just for us to make more of this liqueur. They started up their production line again, just for us,”
They’re providing another 45 hundred pounds of chicken bones to the distillery.
“We should be ready to start bottling the new liqueur by sometime later next week. Our goal is to try and get that back out into stores as soon as possible, so hopefully everyone can get a bottle,” Clark says.
Moonshine Creek Distilleries expected it would be a popular product, but not to this extent, “We had heavy traffic coming into our place. But at the NB Liquor stores themselves, a couple of places where we showed up to drop off cases of the liqueur, there were already single file lineups waiting for it,” Clark says.
He adds their hope to to produce another 6000 bottles of Chicken Bones Liqueur.
He doesn’t have an exact date as to when it will be in stores, but he suggests keeping an eye on the Moonshine Creek Distillery Facebook page for info.
With the success of the Liqueur this year, he expects Moonshine Creek Distilleries will be partnering with Ganong Bros Ltd again next Christmas to make another batch.
