Broadslab Distillery

I grew up on this farm and was raised by my Grandfather, Leonard A. Wood.  We grew and sold produce here.  My grandfather also tended this farm with his father and made his fair share of whiskey here.  This farm has been in my family since the 1840s.

My Grandfather taught me a lot on the farm. I became intrigued with farming and moonshining at an early age.  He unknowingly did this by sharing all of his stories of times past.  My Grandfather was a farmer and a moonshiner up until the late 1950s when the feds decided it was time for him to retire from bootlegging.

I started this distillery producing a true, handcrafted, dirt to bottle, authentic moonshine using my Grandfather’s recipe as a way to diversify and produce a value added product utilizing the grains grown on the farm.  My goal was to stay engaged in farming on a small scale by making it profitable at a time when small family farms were becoming unprofitable and fewer in numbers.

As the years have passed, we are continuing the tradition of producing authentic moonshine but we have also grown into producing some very fine bourbons and rye whiskeys.
