In Search of Moonshine

By [email protected] | January 21, 2015

Nancy and I decided to take the day off and head to Gatlinburg, Tennessee in search of moonshine. Perfect time to drive through the Smoky Mountain National Park  with colors changing. It was a clear, crisp day with some fantastic views.

After seeing an elk wandering a residential home in Gatlinburg, We had hoped to spy an elk or two in the Great Smokies, but they were nowhere to be found. We once saw one of these magnificent animals wandering around a residential yard along US19 in Maggie Valley.

There are four great moonshiner distilleries in Gatlinburg; our longtime favorite Ole Smoky Moonshine, and new kids on the block Sugarlands Distilling, Davy Crockett’s Tennessee Whiskey and Doc Colliers.. All four distilleries were cooking and provided free samples. You can even purchase our local moonshiner’s secret blend of Moonshine from Jim Tom and Mark at Sugarlands.

It’s  fun trip, one that we highly recommend any time of year. CLICK HERE to read the details and see our photos.
