Of course, the most famous one is Lynchburg, Tennessee, where Jack Daniels is produced, however, it's also in Moore County, which is a dry county.

The state license should be easier to obtain; however, some states are more amenable than others for starting a distillery.

If a person wishes to legally distill alcohol, they have two options. The first option is to obtain a Federal Distilled Spirits Permit. This is the permit that industry giants like Jack Daniels and Makers Mark distilleries possess, which makes it legal for them to distill and distribute to the public.
As one might imagine, this permit is very difficult to get. In short, unless an individual is opening a distillery with the intention of selling their product in liquor stores, don't even bother looking into getting a distilled spirits permit; it's way too expensive and complicated for a home distiller to obtain.
Instead pursue a fuel alcohol permit which we'll describe next. Option two is a Federal Fuel Alcohol Permit link below. Be advised that the conditions of the permit only allow a distiller to use the alcohol they produce for fuel purposes, not for consumption. List the type as a "pot still. This will be the identifying information for the still. Note, those not planning to use their still for alcohol do not need to get a permit or register the still with the federal government. However, for those who are going to use the equipment to distill alcohol, the use your order number which is also your serial number on all permit paperwork.
State distilling law is different in every state. Some states have no laws on owning a still, but prohibit the distillation of alcohol such as Colorado , which charges a small fine if one is caught doing so while other states prohibit possession of a still unless it's for fuel alcohol such as North Carolina, which requires a state fuel alcohol permit.
Some states may prohibit possession of distillation equipment and distilling altogether. Google state laws to find the rules and regulations in your state. Also, make sure to comply with these rules and regulations.
