Abstract:

"From bootlegging moonshiners to innovative pioneers in distilling technology, distilleries have a rich tradition in our region." For more than a decade now, there has been an explosion of "small-batch spirits producers" in Western North Carolina. Prior to Prohibition, Nort Carolina had the largest number of legal distilleries in the country.
