Episode 7: History Makes for Hallowed Ground
Short Mountain Distillery is located on Short Mountain Rd. A road I’m very familiar with. I drive it every time I go to band practice, but as I drove it for my interview, it seemed different. The distillery sits right in the middle of nature, nestled right at the foot of Short Mountain. The view from the parking lot is breathtaking. But, even with all the beauty, there’s so much dark history literally growing from these mountains. I park my car near the distillery’s restaurant and proceed to the building that houses all of the stills. It’s the end of the day, so they are beginning to close up shop. It’s almost dark, I knock and open the door. Billy is in the office, rocking a handlebar mustache and suspenders--essential clothing for all moonshiners.
I don’t waste any time. I tell him the story of Slim.
