Woodbury, TN Home of the Best Aged Moonshine this side of the Country!


What is Moonshine?
The most common definition of moonshine is – high proof distilled spirits that are generally produced illicitly. Referred to also as white lightning, hooch, homebrew, mountain dew, and white whiskey, Moonshine is illegal because it is brewed in the home which makes it nearly impossible for the government to tax it. Kentucky and Tennessee are famous for the production of Moonshine. Certainly the ever popular folks at Short Mountain Distillery are no strangers to the finest tasting and best aged Moonshine this side of the country – their one of a kind, extraordinary Short Mountain Shine. Typically made with corn mash as its main ingredient Moonshine is extremely strong and can be distilled in all different flavors.

Best Aged Moonshine
Moonshine mellows out and changes its flavor over time. This aging process is critical to the ultimate taste and the strength of the brewed Moonshine. At Short Mountain Distillery we spend a great deal of time and technique in our unique aging process. Our best aged Moonshine is aged in oak barrels just like it was hundreds of years ago. These oak barrels are considered to be the best and most effective way to age liquor. The flavor generated by the oak barrels will change over time. In the beginning of the aging process the oak can very well present with a smoky taste and smell. No need to be alarmed. This smoky flavor will mellow over a period of time and simply requires patience on your part as the aging process unfolds. Truly, you will ultimately find yourself in the presence of the best aged Moonshine in all of Tennessee.

At Short Mountain Distillery we are proud of our exceptional reputation of being one of the best all round distilleries in the country. We are every bit as proud of our superior tasting Short Mountain Shine that has been recognized time and time again as the strongest, tastiest and smoothest Moonshine Woodbury, Tennessee produces.

The land, that is. That’s probably this place has been such a favorite place for artists, musicians, and dreamers to gather, really, for as long as anyone can remember. It’s a fertile place, filled with natural wonder. And we love it.
Inspired.
Just like our process for creating the finest small batch artisanal moonshine around. It’s founded on some of the same recipes and fine craftsmanship passed down from many generations, fueled by keen imagination. Of course, in a place as inspiring as Short Mountain, that’s not too surprising.

Short Mountain Distillery Tours


The Cooper Cave Spring at Short Mountain Distillery.

A Birdseye View at Short Mountain
Short Mountain has a long and celebrated history as the producer of some of the finest moonshine in the entire country. Like a closer look? For a birdseye view of the manufacturing process of our authentic Tennessee moonshine, check out the distillery tours at Short Mountain Distillery. We love sharing about our organic permaculture farm practices with all our guests. You’ll also learn about local history, as well as our heritage of whiskey making here in Cannon County.
Boon to Local Farming
There were 18 legal distilleries operating in Cannon County after the end of the Civil War. The distilleries provided added value to surplus crops, contributing greatly to the vitality of the local agricultural framework.
Prohibition
With Prohibition in 1920, the relationship between farming and distilleries was shattered. Nonetheless, the heritage of whiskey making lived on. The cave spring at Short Mountain became a refuge for those who sought to continue the craft during this time, namely famous Moonshiners like Cooper Melton. It is said that Mr Melton used our farm’s cave spring to make the moonshine that supplied the speakeasies of Al Capone.
