Add Gatlinburg to your summer getaway list, and partake in a tradition as old as the country itself with a visit to Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine, the first moonshine distillery in the history of East Tennessee.
Gatlinburg, the home of Ole Smoky, is also the gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a beautiful destination for hiking, biking, horse riding, fishing and more.
Get the full moonshine experience at Ole Smoky at the Gatlinburg Distillery, The Holler, where visitors can make moonshine, from cooking and fermenting to bottling, a practice only legal in the region since 2009. The company’s roots can be traced to the early settlers of the Smoky Mountains, and its story is an authentic story of moonshine production.
The distillery makes more than 20 flavors of moonshine and whiskey, ideal for tastings. Try the Original Unaged Corn Whiskey, White Lightnin’, cherry, blackberry, the popular apple pie, strawberry, peach and lemon drop. Stop by after a day in the national park, or take some friends for a bachelor or bachelorette party. Visitors can also enjoy specialty house-made cocktails and free live local music. Visit the website for a lineup and to learn more about the distillery.
