Small batches
of Corn Whiskey, crafted beyond the watchful eyes of 'revenuers', is part of the lore of the region. Rodney Facemire brought the business
into the daylight when he
obtained the license for the nations  smallest still in 2002. Isaiah Morgan products were available
in state
licensed spirits retailers but couldn't be sold at the site
of their creation, disappointing many tourists. Rodney conceived the
vision of mini-distilleries, formed a team of government and
business leaders and created what can become a new industry for the
state. Today tourists can observe the crafting of the Southern  Moon,
Rye, and Grappa at the distillery and purchase a
souvenir of their personal glimpse of mountain history and culture. No visit to the area can be considered complete without a visit to this historic site.
