As we commemorate Bourbon Heritage Month, we’re getting back to where it all started with the Neeley Family Distillery and moonshine.

We’ll sip on their authentic Kentucky moonshine and hear the stories of the now “legal” family business, which has operated in Sparta, Kentucky, since 2015. There will be some show and tell with a still busted up by legendary Kentucky Agent “Big Six” Henderson and the family who found it. Kentucky author Chris Skates shares his family’s legacy story detailed in his new book Moonshine over Georgia.
