During the prohibition period, the Bondurant Brothers of Franklin County, Virginia (Howard, Forrest, and Jack) were legendary for running moonshine. So much so that the movie Lawless was made in 2012 based off of the Bondurant Brothers' illegal moonshine business as written by Matt Bondurant, one of Jack's grandsons, in his bestselling book; The Wettest County in the World.
Fast forward 80 years, Jack Bondurant's grandson, Robert, has taken over the family business and is now based out of Chase City, Virginia. Through research and what could be remembered of the family recipe and tweaking the western Virginia prohibition style process for mass production distilling, Robert revived the family business, but legally this time.
