Who better to start a moonshine distillery than Robert Bondurant, a grandson of Jack Bondurant, one of the famous Franklin County moonshine running Bondurant Brothers (aka Bondurant Boys) from the Prohibition period. You may ask what sets Robert apart from his moonshining grandfather since he will also be distilling and selling moonshine like his grandfather… Robert pays taxes on it and is licensed by the Federal Government and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Therefore, he is considered a distiller not a moonshiner in the eyes of the government.

Robert knew when he saw the distillery’s current location, the Old Roller Mill in Chase City Virginia, that it was the perfect location… it had a history that dated back to the Prohibition period, too. He chose Chase City not only for the Old Roller Mill location, but because Chase City is known across Virginia for it’s outstanding tasting water. Combined with his other top quality ingredients, recipe, and family history, Bondurant Brothers Distillery Moonshine “shines” moons above the rest.

Robert hopes that when visitors step into the distillery, they will feel like they have stepped back in time. A time when moonshine flowed freely and good times were had by all. Robert’s goal is to revive the core of what started the family legacy… to make a moonshine that will “shine” above others that consumers will seek out. The original Bondurant Brother’s moonshine was enjoyed in speakeasies across the county. Robert has his eyes on the world and it all begins at his distillery in Chase City, Virginia.
