Popcorn Sutton’s mythic moonshine now on sale. Yes, LEGALLY.

Chris Knight's avatar

I kept meaning to post an extensive write-up about the Second Annual Popcorn Sutton Acoustic Jam, held in Maggie Valley, North Carolina two months ago. Guess it just sorta collided with some other stuff going on in my life at the time. But I have heard bunches from event organizers who were delighted at the turnout and now, there is serious talk afoot about making it an ongoing yearly festival. Maybe even one taking place across an entire weekend (and in the fall when it would be cooler 🙂

Well anyhoo, here’s the BIG news of the day, friends and neighbors!

Popcorn Sutton’s Tennessee White Whiskey – AKA real honest-to-goodness moonshine – is now being sold in Newport, Tennessee! This is the real deal: made according to Popcorn’s very own original recipe with the permission and blessing of his family, which is in a partnership with country music legend Hank Williams Jr. to bring Popcorn’s legendary likker to store shelves for legal consumption.

(Longtime readers of this blog can rest assured, that I am already planning to make a border run to get some 🙂

Here’s the website for Popcorn Sutton’s Tennessee White Whiskey, which currently leads only to an e-mail alert sign-up page. But rest assured: the good stuff is being sold as of this evening. That’s the word from Popcorn’s widow Pam Sutton and now, it is my good pleasure to spread the word 🙂

    This isn't popcorn's recipe. It tastes nothing like the original. It's about half the strength at almost twice the price.

    For one thing, it is not possible to "edit out" remarks within a comment. Not with Blogger as it currently is capable of doing as a platform, anyway…

    Secondly, I have tried to maintain a very lenient policy so far as comments go on this site. And it so happens that ALL these inquiries about Popcorn Sutton's 'shine were well within the bounds. I have to operate on the assumption that people leaving comments *do* know that they are leaving them on a public forum for all the world to see and therefore are taking all the risks and responsibilities that come with that.

    I have four full ones he made himself have had it for quite a few years. My uncle lived not too far down the road from him. That's about as good a recipe as ever was or ever going to be. Hank jr. He's quite the American patriot he's welcome to half of what I got left if he wants it. This is great news I hadn't heard until I saw this moonshiners show tonight for first time. I don't watch much TV too busy but when I saw show this was first Man I thought of. Popcorn was a Picasso type artist if his trade what a great shiner. I'm sure he's missed a bunch by all who knew him and wish I had that privledge of knowing him myself. I did get to know his work but never knew the man a shame I'm sure I could've met him had I thought the end was coming. Artist and master of his trade
