Top 3 Distilleries in Gatlinburg You Should Visit
Are you heading to the hills of the Smoky Mountains with moonshine and whiskey on your mind? We can help you get started! Here are 3 of the top spots in town for finding the iconic corn in a jar here in Tennessee!
Sugarlands Distilling Company
$5 will snag you a taste of 12 shots of moonshine at Sugarlands Distilling Company in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. Plus, the experience is informative and entertaining! Sugarlands is consistently praised on their wonderful staff and great customer service. They’re also the official moonshine of Nascar, so racing fans will enjoy snagging some corn whiskey from their limited edition line. If you love Discovery Channel’s Moonshiners, you’ll also enjoy putting together some of their favorite recipes with gems off the shelf at Sugarlands! Try putting together an Adult Root Beer Float, Appalachian Evening Stroll, Blackberry Bramble or a Honeysuckle Shot!
Ole Smoky Moonshine and Barrelhouse
Ole Smoky welcomes millions of folks every year here in Gatlinburg and we know that they would love for you to stop by for a visit as well! Head over to The Holler for moonshine tastings and live music or to Barrelhouse for your whiskey fix! In The Holler you’ll also have the opportunity to see authentic-working moonshine stills and view the process in action. Have a few questions? Their very knowledgeable distillers will be happy to help! It’ll cost you just $5 for samplings and kicking back in the rocking chairs while enjoying daily live bands is always free! However, you’ll want to make sure that you load up on all of your favorite flavors as well as a t-shirt and a few souvenirs!
Doc Collier Moonshine
One of Gatlinburg’s best kept secrets is Doc Collier Moonshine. Doc’s is known for their flavors and though they’re not as sweet as some of the other distilling companies in town, their shots still hit the spot! Grab a few bottles of their Muscadine Moonshine, a few flavors that are more stiff and take a bit of time to listen to their stories and folklore about moonshine.
