Amos Owens (ca. 1822 – 1906), aka The Cherry Bounce King, was a nineteenth and early twentieth century moonshine producer who lived in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Of Irish descent, his grandfather fought in the Battle of King's Mountain in the Revolutionary War. He was renowned for the mixture of whiskey, honey and cherries and "[p]eople from all over the South visited him to taste his celebrated beverage." At its peak, the "cherry bounce" that Owens produced on his Cherry Mountain, North Carolina estate was served as far west as the Mississippi River.
