About Bootleg Candle Company

Bootleg Candle Co. was born from the rugged spirit of Appalachia and the untold stories of America’s Prohibition era. Every product we craft — from hand-poured soy candles to wax melts and reed diffusers — pays tribute to the moonshiners, craftsmen, and storytellers who turned simple ingredients into legend. We blend nostalgia with authenticity, creating scents that capture moments of an older America: charred oak whiskey barrels, the smoke of hidden stills, fresh-cut timber, and the sweet notes of homemade shine. Each fragrance tells a story — of rebellion, craftsmanship, and life lived on your own terms. Our candles are 100% soy wax with crackling wood wicks, hand-poured in small batches for artisan quality. Our wax melts and diffusers carry the same dedication to purity, using clean ingredients and long-lasting fragrance. Everything we make is designed to deliver not just a scent, but an experience — a step back in time to a world of speakeasies, copper stills, and mountain air. Bootleg Candle Co. isn’t just about candles — it’s about preserving heritage and sharing the outlaw soul of Appalachia through premium craftsmanship. Each jar, cube, and bottle carries the mark of American grit — made for those who appreciate authenticity, storytelling, and the art of doing things the old-fashioned way.Read their story
