Craft Distillery to Open in Georgia
Grandaddy Mimm’s Authentic Moonshine opens October 8, 2016, at 161 Pappy’s Plaza, Blairsville, Georgia.
The Grand Opening celebrations include moonshine tastings, guided tours of the distillery and the official ribbon cutting of Northeast Georgia’s newest visitor destination followed by an evening of live music.
Distillery tours will run continuously through the day, and visitors of, ahem, “appropriate age” receive a free souvenir bottle of Grandaddy Mimm’s Authentic Moonshine with each paid tour.
The Grandaddy Mimm’s Gift Shop, which features t-shirts, shot glasses and Mason jars also houses the restored covered wagon once used to transport corn, sugar and moonshine years ago. Guided tours show the process of how three simple ingredients – corn, water and sugar – are transformed into a potent liquid that until a few short years ago was illegal to manufacture.
Grandaddy Mimm’s currently distills six products: 100-proof Corn Whiskey, 140-proof Mule Kickin’ 140 and 40-proof Apple Brown Betty, Fresh Peach Cobbler, Wild Cherry Cobbler and Blueberry Cobbler.
