Troy & Sons Distillery
True mountain moonshine is made from corn, and we hunted throughout the WNC mountains for the perfect strain – and found it just a few miles from Asheville. The corn had become virtually extinct everywhere except on the McEntire Farm…believed to be lost from Eastern Tennessee since 1840. Crooked Creek Corn™ is an heirloom open-pollinated white corn that has been grown on the McEntire farm for over one hundred twenty years. Analyzed by researchers at the University of Tennessee, this “lost corn” is an unadulterated, non-genetically modified original American corn, making our moonshine a true American spirit. Each batch of Troy & Sons moonshine is made using Crooked Creek Corn™ and locally milled Southern white corn.

Distillers never fail to mention the quality of their water and the importance of this water in making fine spirits. Troy & Sons is situated in the middle of the world’s oldest mountains, and the water from the Blue Ridge Mountains is pristine, pure and plentiful. The abundance of hidden creeks made distilling possible, and early settlers didn’t have to travel far to find free running, wild water that is naturally cold and soft. As we say in the hills, we use the water first. Think about it.
