Step into a world where history, heritage, and hidden stills come to life. For generations, daring moonshiners braved the Appalachian mountains, dodging revenue agents while crafting their legendary “fire water.” These renegades, descendants of Scots-Irish settlers, kept their families afloat with secret whiskey recipes passed down through the ages.

Red River Gorge Distilled Spirits brings this rebel tradition into the spotlight. This auxiliary stop pays homage to the bootleggers who turned survival into an art form, blending old-world craftsmanship with a modern twist.
