Bayou Terrebonne Distillers is a marsh roots company founded on the belief that honest joy is distilled from hard work and earned victories, both big and small. Our purpose is to preserve a family tradition along with the unique culture and beauty of the Bayou Region.
Our story begins on the bank of Bayou Terrebonne during Prohibition. Our great grandmother Lily, Houma’s 1st Mardi Gras Queen and a moonhshiner, lit a fire under a 6 gallon copper pot still, igniting a family tradition. The legend goes that local revenuers turned a blind eye to Lily’s operation because her moonshine was too damn good. Nearly a century later, we’ve continued her legacy on the very same bayou.
