Like his forebears, Mr. Sutton had brushes with the law, and was first convicted of selling untaxed liquor in the early 1970s. He mostly kept out of trouble after that, though friends say his nickname came from an unfortunate encounter with a balky barroom popcorn machine. But he was well known as a distiller around his native Parrottsville.
I never got to know Popcorn Sutton, but had seen parts of the documentaries that he had been in. I did not know of his passing until yesterday, 1/8/10. We go to the Maggie Valley area a lot, also Gatlinburg, Cherokee, and Newport TN., and had hopped to look him up sometime. I will have to agree with his wife, the government killed him. Rest In Peace, Popcorn.
i am sorry to hear of the passing of popcorn sutton,it really sadden me i was hopping to meet him one day and have been looking for his book me and my liker but cant find it.we go to pigeon forge tn. and sourronding areas every year.everyone is right the goverment killed him,what harm can one man do making his shine,it is sad that they have so little to do but go after him,he was not hurting anyone,mrs.sutton i wish u well and hope u can find happeness.my thoughts and prayers are with u.
I agree. I actually picked up a copy of the book for about 30 bucks a year ago. Then after he died last March, I have seen the same book sell for five hundred dollars on EBAY. I am not sure as to how limited a book like that was. My copy had 400+ pages, was a great read. As I am writing this, I am checking the book sites, and all of them are sold out, so the book may be out of print now, I am not sure of this. Let me know if you see any or know of where to read it online somewhere. My edition is the first edition, from 1999. I just saw where the 2009 revised edition was signed by the author and that only one bookstore was permitted to sell it. I guess that is why it is so hard to find anywhere else. Definitely will be a collectors book one day. I guess I will hold on to mine.

ebay is selling the full bottles. very pricey but maybe cheaper than a long gas guzzling drive. beware of the shipping. USPS is illegal and some are doing that. i went to Memphis and bought a case. VERY tasty.
Just picked up some of popcorns likker and its by far the best I've ever sipped on from legal to illegal shine I've drank in the past man wish I could have met the man so glad that he left his recipe to one man and was able to keep a part of Marvin Popcorn Suttons legacy alive better than great shine
Shine, white lightnin, stump hole water, copper spring, don't matter what you call it. It's part of freedom to make it. Just cause it ain't taxed don't mean that the law needs to make America lose good good people for it. Let a man make his own. Not like just anyone can make good stuff anyway. You make a bad batch you might not drink no more.
Best bet would be to locate someone in Tennessee that picked up a case while it was still for sale.
Initially it was only sold in three stores.
The bottles are pretty cool, they are mason jars with numbered lids, much like the numbered jars Popcorn was using determine the head and tail of the liquor run.
I have a picture on my blog.
In 2002, he appeared in a Neal Hutchens documentary Mountain Talk and quickly became popular in various documentaries following this successful appearance. Part of his fame was due to the fact that he was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for illegal distilling spirits.
You can no longer buy moonshine produced by the original Popcorn Sutton because he died in 2009 after committing suicide to avoid jail and because of his cancer diagnosis. But this original recipe still exists.
While the original popcorn company no longer produces this whiskey, there are however still some out there who do make it using the original recipe and guidance from Popcorn's homemade videos. You can however still buy some Popcorn Sutton branded products directly from the original company. Or make your own! Click here for the recipe.
There are quite a few Popcorn Sutton fans out there who carefully watched his methods on documentaries to reproduce his original recipe. You can even find the recipe online if you want to give this infamous Tennessee Whiskey a try.
There are also rumors that the original Popcorn Sutton site will also start reproducing their legendary whiskey soon. So keep your fingers crossed because you might just be able to buy this original brand in the near future.
Popcorn loved moonshine and he was tremendously popular for his fine brew. Back then, the production of moonshine was still illegal and he was soon caught making and selling his liquor. He was arrested for making moonshine and the illegal possession of a .38-caliber handgun in 2009.
Originally, he would have been sentenced to 24 months in jail but the U.S. District Judge Ronnie Greer considered his age of 62 years and his diagnosis with aggressive cancer and reduced his sentence to 18 months that was to be served under house arrest.
Making your own Popcorn Sutton moonshine is a great way to learn more about this legendary moonshiner and it is also a good way to learn how to make quality spirits the same way bootlegger moonshiners once made this fine tasting beverage.
