Established in late 2012, Moonrise Distillery is located in the foothills of the Southern Appalachian mountains as you enter the City of Clayton in Rabun County, Georgia. This location was chosen for its rich moonshining history and

to compliment the local area by providing jobs, promoting local history and tourism trade to people traveling through this area.
