Grandaddy Mimm's Moonshine

Not too far from our place on Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee is a great spot to spend a few hours -- Grandaddy Mimm's Moonshine Distillery and Gift Shop. It has tours and a tasting bar for all the flavors, such as the signature 'shine the 140-proof Mule Kickin High Octane. Surrounding the place are other shops with all kinds of items for sale, plus some are not for sale and are, well, just a bit odd such as the John Wayne figure resting in a corner. It's a place worth visiting and the 'shine is worth buying. Don't forget to get the recipes that come with the purchase. This picture was taken in the over-sized chair just outside the entrance.

Once you purchase, come back to our place and "sit a spell" while you sip. Lakefront Mountain Suite
