Told truth about Amanda Bryan from Moonshiners: Master Distiller.
Overspeeding, gambling, drug trafficking, extortion, etc. — these activities may seem familiar as common illegal acts a person might commit. However, there are also rarer crimes, one of which is manufacturing moonshine—creating illegal liquor.
Discovery Channel has introduced a series called Moonshiners, which highlights a wide variety of personalities. One of them is Amanda Bryant, a fair-skinned, red-haired distiller from Philadelphia. She showcased her raw talent and skills on the show. Bryant claimed that she learned the process of distilling liquor by reading and watching online videos, without any real formal training.
Amanda Bryant on Moonshiners: Master Distiller
When she joined the show, Amanda was mentored by two legendary moonshiners, Mark Rogers and Steven Ray Tickle, with whom she shared most of her screen time. Determined to earn the title of Master Distiller, Amanda competed against two other participants, taking on challenges to craft various spirits such as rum, vodka, whiskey, and gin—all with her own unique twists.
Amanda’s creations were judged by three well-known figures in the moonshining world: Mark Ramsey, Tim Smith, and Eric “Digger” Manes.
In one episode, titled “Nuts on the Line” (aired in 2021), Amanda introduced an unusual idea—infusing two unexpected ingredients into alcohol to create a flavorful spirit. She used walnuts, wildflower honey, and incorporated nitrogen oxide to pressurize the alcohol and solid walnut particles, speeding up fermentation. Thanks to her innovative approach, she impressed the judges and won the competition, earning the title of Master Distiller.
After her victory, Amanda was given the opportunity to sell her recipe through Sugarlands Distilling Co. as part of her prize. She later became a recurring cast member in the latest installment of the show, appearing in six episodes, including Summit of Champions, It Takes a Minute, and Southern Discoveries, all released in 2022.
