Bourbon Underworld - The Dark Tale of Prohibition

from The Mash Bill Podcast · host Whitney Rye

Bourbon didn't disappear during Prohibition-it became the foundation of a criminal empire, fueling fortunes, betrayals, and a war fought in the shadows. Bootleggers seized loopholes, corrupt officials turned a blind eye, and whiskey flowed through underground networks guarded by those willing to kill for it. The government's war on liquor only made bourbon more powerful, shifting control from mobsters to corporate giants who still shape the industry today. This is the story of rebellion, survival, and the lasting scars of a law that tried—and failed—to erase America's native spirit.
