Cannon County, Tenn. -- Short Mountain Distillery has just had
another celebrity visit. Shannen Doherty (Beverly
Hills 90210 / Charmed) and Holly Combs (Charmed
/ Pretty Little Liars), best friends for many years, visited the distillery
as part of their new travel show, Off The
Map, which will be shown on Great American Country in early 2015.
The
ladies shared with Short Mountain managing partner, Billy Kaufman, that they
are taking a ‘summer vacation’ from their Hollywood lives to travel through Kentucky,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. They want to seize the opportunity to enjoy
life in the South, an area of the country with which both are unfamiliar, with
the people who live there.
According
to the GAC sources, Off the Map is an
opportunity for Shannen, Holly, and the viewers, to expand what it means to
call America ‘home’. Fans can vote on where they want the ladies
to visit in each state on the GAC website. Drinking and making moonshine got
the vote for what to do while touring Tennessee. Perfect choice, since
Tennessee is where its manufacture began.
“Both actresses were extremely personable
and approachable,” said Kaufman. “They
drank shine, made shine and generally had a great time.”
Moonshine,
that backwoods staple that Granny Clampett kept safely hidden in her medicine
closet, is now out of the closet and becoming the hippest new addition to the
Farm-to-Table movement. And Tennessee’s Short Mountain Distillery, housed in
the hollers of Cannon County, is fast becoming Hollywood’s favorite place to
enjoy downhome fun and sip the once taboo liquor with the locals.
Just
a few months ago, Short Mountain Distillery was revealed as a shooting location
for Sage + Saints new music video “Take Me to the South,” co-directed by
Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame. It
was there that the now famous Kristen Stewart goat- holding photo was taken. Something
about the laid-back atmosphere makes stressed out stars relax and smile.
Shannen and Holly were no exceptions.
“Shannen and Holly stayed
longer than expected. We were all having a great time telling tall tales,
eating, drinking, and listening to the old time music,” Kaufman added.
