City Lights Shine, a moonshine distilled and bottled in Las Vegas by 17A Stillery, has deep (and potent) roots in NASCAR.
Mike Dolan, co-founder and distiller of 17A, was a NASCAR official for more than 20 years, and his radio designation was 17A. Brendan Gaughan, the other founder and a member of the prominent Gaughan family of Vegas, is a retired NASCAR driver who competed in more than 500 races across three series.
City Lights Shine comes in original moonshine, distilled to 82 proof, and blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, cherry lemon and salted caramel, each distilled to 80 proof. The spirits sell for $39.99 for 750 milliliters on the website, citylightsshine.com.
The distillery currently ships to 32 states, offering about two-thirds of the U.S. the spirit of Las Vegas.
