Tucked away in the charming hamlet of Yalaha, Florida—just beyond Tavares, north of Clermont, and northwest of Orlando—lies the Yalaha Bootlegging Company, a hidden treasure for spirit enthusiasts. This boutique distillery, nestled within the scenic Blue Bayou Farms, crafts an irresistible array of moonshine flavors, alongside standout brandy and rum offerings. Housed in a revitalized storefront, their tasting room and shop invite you to savor the fruits of their labor—literally, as their moonshine is infused with blueberries grown right on the farm.
Yalaha Bootlegging is renowned for its moonshine, a bold, unaged whiskey with deep Southern roots. Once the stuff of clandestine stills, today’s moonshine is a celebrated, regulated spirit, elevated by natural and artificial flavorings. Their lineup is a testament to creativity and craftsmanship, featuring:
- Original Blueberry Moonshine: A smooth blend of farm-fresh blueberries and cane sugar.
- Watermelon Moonshine: A refreshing twist on a summer classic.
- Peach Moonshine: Juicy, ripe peaches in every sip.
- Apple Smack: A spiced delight with hints of cinnamon and crisp apple.
- Blueberry Moonshine: Made with organic blueberries, cane sugar, and a drizzle of blueberry syrup for extra depth.
- Cranberry Moonshine: A ruby-red beauty crafted with tart cranberries and cane sugar.
- Southern Pecan Moonshine: Aged in oak barrels, blended with blueberry brandy and pecan wood chips, then matured for six months to perfection.
Beyond moonshine, Yalaha Bootlegging showcases its versatility with Blueberry Brandy and Pieces of Eight Rum—a swashbuckling spirit made from Florida cane sugar, brown sugar, molasses, and organic blueberries.
Stop by their store on the south side of FL-48, right next to the beloved Yalaha German Bakery and Delicatessen, where free tastings await. Discover a taste of Florida’s spirited heritage at Yalaha Bootlegging Company—where tradition meets innovation in every bottle.
