In fact, the only one in the family never to get busted was his dear mother. Throughout the years, this rebellious approach to living sent Junior’s father and brothers in and out of prison. Running moonshine wasn’t always easy, or legal for that matter, but the Johnsons did what they had to do to keep food on the table. And, about 150 years later, Junior’s family kept the tradition going in order to survive.
Back during the Whiskey Rebellion in 1791, his ancestors were some of the first to make ‘shine in Appalachia. It’s deep in his roots and it flows in his blood. JUNIOR JOHNSON WAS BORN TO RUN MOONSHINE. Junior sipped, smiled, and gave two thumbs up to the best damn moonshine ever made. Midnight Moon was officially born when Piedmont Distillers, North Carolina's first legal distillery since Prohibition, called on Junior at the mechanics shop on his old farm to taste-test what would become Midnight Moon Original. It’s then blended with ultra-clean water that has been through a five-step filtration process, and the result is a very smooth spirit with a subtle sweetness from the corn. Midnight Moon does not have the harsh, heavy corn taste people often associate with illegal moonshine. However, we use a state-of-the-art distillation process to make a superior quality spirit that’s very clean and ultra-smooth.

Jeffrey currently competes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
