National Geographic has a long reputation of hyperbole in headlining its stories, but hyperbole is part of marketing, right? And whether or not the wording is a bit exaggerated, it is always fun to note that local businesses get attention in national media. The local Louisville business that was recently singled out in National G, in a story titled ‘100 Places That Will Change Your Life,’ is Moonshine University.
A story in Insider Louisville reported that in a recent special issue of National Geographic, Louisville’s Moonshine University was ranked No. 20 in a list of “100 Places That Will Change Your Life.”
Moonshine University is part of the Distilled Spirits Epicenter at 801 S. Eighth St. There, small professional-level pot stills are used in hands-on workshops that teach the basics of distilling, followed by other courses that outline what is necessary to enter the distilled spirits business.
The write-up in National G touts Moonshine U thusly: “Bourbon? Rum? Absinthe? Name your poison, and the master distillers at Moonshine University in Louisville will school you in how to coax it out of corn, molasses, or wormwood.”
