Ole Smoky Moonshine...
meet Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton, legendary Moonshiner
1946-2009
East Tennessee/Western North Carolina's most notorious moonshiner was laid to rest Mach 2009, but the lure that's always surrounded his life lives on. He was recognized as a living legacy to the days of illegal whiskey production in East Tennessee.
He had been arrested in 2007 by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He was convicted in 2008 of possessing a firearm as a felon and distilling spirits without lawful authorization. At the time, authorities found nearly 1700 gallons of moonshine on his property and in a storage unit in Maggie Valley, NC.
A few days before the 62-year-old was expected to self-report to a Kentucky penitentiary to serve an 18-month sentence, he was found dead by his wife in his "three-jug Ford." The Ford Fairlane got its name from the three jugs of moonshine he traded to get it.
Popcorn looked like a living caricature with gray beard, faded overalls, checkered shirt and feathered fedora. He embodied a kind of Appalachian archetype, a character trait of fearlessness and fierce loyalty to regional identity.
Tennessee recently changed the laws and the first federally licensed distillery, Ole Smoky Distillery, opened in Gatlinburg, TN in 2009.
