About

Located directly on the Appalachian Trail in downtown Damascus, Virginia, Appalachian Heritage Distillery is a generational family operation with roots dating back to 1919 when Grandpa Bud Justus began clandestine moonshining in the Appalachian Mountains. Four generations later, they produce premium spirits including vodka, gin, bourbon, and rye using traditional methods and a unique copper pot still, all while maintaining their heritage in this tight-knit mountain community.
