The show debuted in 2011 and ran for 14 seasons.

Law had his own distillery, Law's Choice Distillery, in Virginia that he operated with his cousin, Henry Law. According to the distillery's website, the Law family has been creating whiskey for over 60 years.

According to Law's biography on the "Moonshiners" page on Discovery Channel, Law "grew up making and running shine with his cousin Henry, under the tutelage of his uncle, the world-renowned outlaw moonshiner, Amos Law."

"Henry and Kenny have had one another’s back since before they can remember. When prosecutors handed Kenny the choice to rat out fellow moonshiners or go to prison, Kenny took the same path as his cousin, Henry, honoring the code of silence and opting for years in federal prison," the biography concluded.

Other notable stars on the show include Mark Ramsey, Tim Smith, Digger Manes and Amanda Bryant.
