Premium and Heritage Driven
Hand-poured in small batches with 100% soy wax, crackling wood wicks, and premium fragrance oils, Bootleg candles are built for a clean, long-lasting burn. Housed in authentic vessels inspired by prohibition heritage, every candle delivers outlaw-worthy quality without compromise.
The Bootleg Story
Our roots run deep in Appalachian tradition, and that's never going to change.
Get The Most Out Of Your Candle
Keeping It Lit
It is especially important to trim your wood wicks before relighting. After it burns there will be some loose, flakey burnt wood on the top of the wick. Just pinch or trim that and it'll light right back up.
Avoid Tunneling
Always allow your candle to produce a full melt pool before putting it out. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size and shape of the candle. Try to take this into consideration before you light it up.
Burn Time
You can expect approx. 80-90 hours out of our mason jar candle and 40-50 hours out of our whiskey glass candle. We recommend not burning more than 4-6 hours at a time to avoid excessive fragrance burn off. This will insure you get great scent throw each time you light your candle.
All Used Up
Once your candle is burnt to about 1/4" from the bottom, it is at the end of it's life. Just throw it in the freezer for a bit to shrink the wax and you can clean it out and reuse the vessel for something else. Our mason jars make great vases. Our whiskey glasses of course make great whiskey glasses in their next life!
