Taste the Spirit of the Smokies: Sugarlands Distilling Co. Guide

Welcome to Sugarlands Distilling Company, a Gatlinburg gem where the rich tradition of Appalachian moonshine meets modern craftsmanship. More than just a distillery, Sugarlands offers an immersive experience into the world of spirits, from the history and process to the tasting and enjoyment. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a curious newcomer, prepare for a flavorful journey through the heart of the Smoky Mountains. Sugarlands Distilling Company is relatively new, founded in 2014, but it quickly established itself as a prominent player in the craft spirits scene. It draws inspiration from the history of moonshining in the Appalachian region, a practice born out of necessity and resourcefulness during times of economic hardship. While the company embraces this heritage, it operates with modern techniques and a commitment to quality, producing a range of award-winning spirits. At Sugarlands, you can take a guided tour of the distillery to learn about the distilling process from grain to bottle. Participate in a tasting session to sample their diverse range of moonshines, whiskeys, and other spirits. Enjoy live music performances on their Back Porch stage, and browse their retail store for souvenirs, apparel, and of course, bottles of your favorite Sugarlands spirits. The company also hosts special events and workshops throughout the year, making it a dynamic and engaging destination. The distillery also has a restaurant that serves southern-inspired dishes.
