About Us

Shot in the Dark Craft Distillery, veteran owned and operated since opening in 2016.

The inspiration for the distillery came from a promise that our Founder, Kevin Hetterley, made to his dad before he passed away. He promised to share his Apple Pie Moonshine with everyone.

Below is an excellent article from when we first started the distillery.

A message from us

Rooted in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, Hetterley’s Moonshine influence comes from time honored family recipes from the prohibition era. We take pride in the fact that our spirits are hand crafted and distilled from local corn straight from the Walla Walla Valley. You won’t be disappointed! Enjoy! - the Hetterleys
