Tall Pines Moonshine Distillery sits on Goodin Hollow Road in Noel, Missouri, just a stone’s throw from the Arkansas border in McDonald County. This small-batch operation focuses on traditional moonshine production, staying true to the Ozark Mountains’ deep-rooted distilling heritage. The distillery opened its doors to bring authentic moonshine back to a region where it once thrived during Prohibition era.
The founders wanted to honor the craft traditions that made this corner of Missouri famous among those who knew where to look. They’ve built their operation around small copper stills and time-tested recipes that would make the old-timers proud. The distillery produces several varieties of moonshine, each crafted with attention to the methods that built the area’s reputation.
Visitors get a taste of authentic Ozark moonshine culture without the legal risks their predecessors faced. The operation maintains that traditional feel while meeting modern safety and quality standards. You’re not just tasting spirits here—you’re experiencing a piece of regional history that survived decades underground before emerging into the light.
