More information about Old Moonshine
Put yourself back to the beginning of the previous century in America - the time of Prohibition. The production of alcohol was simply forbidden. And what did the resourceful Yanks do? They still distilled liquor in hidden distilleries in the middle of the forest. They did this illegally, of course, i.e. in black and mostly at night by the light of the moon. That's why they called their schnapps Moonshiner. The mysterious three XXX mean that the Moonshiner was distilled at least three times. The Leverings Old Moonshine Apple Pie is made according to an old American recipe that Carl Levering tracked down on one of his trips to the USA.

Leverings Ossenkämper
In 1808, Carl Levering founded a grain distillery just outside the small Westphalian town of Schwelm. From here, one looked all around over large pastures where the numerous herds of cattle traditionally spent the summer. These oxen meadows were simply called "Ossenkamp" in Schwelmer Platt. "Ossenkämper" was then also the name Carl Levering gave to his distinctive herbal liqueur, which is still one of the most popular specialties of the fine Kornbrennerei Levering. Even today, our master distillers continue in the tradition of the old craft - because a good distillate needs above all time and care! The extraordinary purity and fullness of taste of our distillates and liqueurs have won over a growing circle of connoisseurs and gourmets over 200 years. Even beyond the regional borders.
