Charles Baudo, a graduate student studying molecular biology at St. Louis University, fills bottles with moonshine Saturday at the Grand River Spirits distillery in Carbondale. Baudo was one of many volunteers to help bottle the distillery’s new moonshine product, Red Eye Cherry. The distillery produces brandy, aged-whiskey, bourbon and three flavors of moonshine. Karen Binder, one of three partners who own the distillery, said the owners started the business as a way to showcase resources and ingredients from southern Illinois.CHRIS ZOELLER • DAILY EGYPTIAN
