The Distillery at The Underground at The Mob Museum

Prohibition made it illegal to brew beer or distill liquor, so America’s unquenched thirst for alcohol demanded an underworld solution. The Mob filled the void, smuggling spirits into the country and producing moonshine from hidden stills. This exhibit tells the stories of bootleggers, rumrunners and the government agents who tried to take them down. The centerpiece is a working still producing moonshine so you, too, can have a taste of this formerly forbidden engine of American commerce.

Take a journey through Prohibition with The Mob Museum’s Distillery Tasting that involves sampling the Museum's award-winning moonshines. The tasting experience includes a variety of award-winning moonshines and encourages visitors to develop an appreciation for the flavor of moonshine, especially since our moonshine is as authentic as it can safely get.
