• Mash Bill: 64% corn, 24% rye, and 12% malted barley
• Age: 4+ years
• Bottle Proof: 100

Description:

The nose is robust with apple and peach notes backed by vanilla and caramel candies alongside cardamom and clove. The palate is initially led by the peach and apple notes before cardamom and anise surge with a splash of caramel and vanilla. The finish is dominated by wonderful baked orchard fruits before drifting slowly into drying oak spice in the form of cardamom, clove, and anise.

History:

There are places in the world that were well-known for being home to outlaws.  Tombstone, Dodge City and Deadwood to name a few.   Although it is less well-known, Sharptop Mountain was once listed among them.   Moonshiners, arsonists and other troublemakers used to call Sharp Top Mountain their home.  Lawlessness was the way of the land, and people took the law into their own hands.  In the late 1800’s, Clark McClain declared that “Neither God’s nor man’s law applies on Sharp Top Mountain.”, he was right.  In honor of that acknowledgement, we are proud to present McClain’s Lawless.  A blend so hardcore, that it should be illegal.

History:

Named after the pinnacle resort of the Tate Mountain Estates, this whiskey is made from the finest spring water in the North Georgia mountains.  Taken from a spring in the Appalachian Mountains, this pure source of water provides a distinct taste like no other.

From 1930 through 1946, the Connahaynee Lodge was the favorite summer getaway of wealthy Atlantans.  The lodge was constructed principally of chestnut logs and fieldstone.  There were multiple chimneys that vaulted well into the skies above the then cleared top of Burnt Mountain.  The lodge was so prominent that people at Amicalola Falls could see it some eleven miles away.

Tragically a fire broke out at the lodge in the spring of 1946 and destroyed the location within a few short hours.  Its distance from town and remote location prevented fire crews from saving the site.  Today, all that remains of the lodge are its fieldstone foundation and one solitary chimney that rises to a towering height just beneath the tops of the surrounding forest.

History:

Sometime in the 1830’s the Fields family settled here in North Georgia from North Carolina. In 1890, Thomas W. Fields and his cousin Eli, along with 20 other men gathered together, in the valley just east of Sharp Top Mountain, to retaliate against informants who testified about their moonshining business. Their group, the Honest Man’s Friend and Protectors, set out to get revenge.

Eli was tried and sent to prison that same year. A few years later, after he was released, he and his wife Rachel relocated to a 100 acre parcel near Hendrix Mountain and they raised nine children. Eli, like his father before him, was one of the best distillers around. He and his children made moonshine and brandy from their own fields & orchard.

His son, Walter, and daughter Maude carried on Eli’s legacy. Early in Walter’s life, he lost his leg while trying to board a train and turned to moonshining to make a living. Walter became “Peg” (pronounced “Pag”). He continued making liquor and ended up being one of the last genuine old-time whiskey makers in the region.

We were hoping that there was a cool story about some pirate that stole treasure and then buried it under some ole oak tree up in the North Georgia Mountains. But unfortunately our area lacks pirates and the closest history we could find that fit, is a legendary local moonshiner that happened to have a peg leg.

Description:

This is our traditional Corn Whiskey.

History:

In the days following the Civil War, the southern economy was ravaged.  Creative farmers turned their modest orchards into a bountiful cash crop:  Moonshine.  The Federal Government, upon realizing their missing tax monies, sent out an army of revenue agents to prosecute the moonshiners.   In response, a group of men secretly banded together to thwart the efforts of the revenue agents and their local informants.   Thus, the Honest Man’s Friend and Protector was born – an outlaw group of vigilantes filled with indignation at the perceived overstep of the government.   As Sherwood Forest was to Robin Hood’s band of merry men, the forests surrounding the North Georgia mountains became the hiding places of the HMF&P.   This handcrafted moonshine takes its name from this shadowy group of old and is imbued with the very same waters of their primeval woods.

History:

Pickens County, located at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains in north central Georgia, was formally created on December 5, 1853, from Gilmer and Cherokee counties. The county was named for Andrew Pickens, a South Carolinian who served as a general during the American Revolution (1775-83). In the first decades following its creation, the county gained small tracts from Gilmer County and Cherokee County, while giving land to Dawson, Gordon, and Cherokee counties. The history of modern settlement in the area began when Georgia created the Federal Road, its first state highway, across the Cherokee Nation in 1805.
