In this episode of The Southern Blueprint Podcast, host Matt Swift takes you on a captivating journey through the rebellious world of moonshiners and bootleggers during the Prohibition era. Learn how the 18th Amendment sparked a nationwide black market for alcohol, fueled by Southern ingenuity and the rise of illegal distilleries. We explore the fascinating stories of legendary figures like Amos Owens, Maggie Bailey, Junior Johnson, and Popcorn Sutton, and how their daring efforts not only kept the spirits flowing but also shaped the culture of the American South.

Plus, we’ll be reviewing Old Forester 1920, a bourbon that pays tribute to Prohibition-era whiskey, Southern Distilling Company's Old Hunting Creek Rye, an abandoned label from the late 1800's and sharing fun facts and the legacy of Southern moonshiners. We end the show with the eventual repeal of Prohibition. Tune in for a spirited deep dive into one of the most infamous periods in U.S. history. Cheers!
