Sugarlands Distilling Company Moonshiners Paradise!

Sugarlands Distilling Company is housed in a barn-like building that was built out of four, seasoned East Tennessee barns. The barns were salvaged and re-purposed to cover the exterior and interior walls of the building. Every board has its own story and together they create a century-old wooden patchwork of age and color. When you visit, you can taste their shine and meet the friendly staff. See how moonshine is made and even buy several moonshine flavors and Sugarlands and mountain products.

But the star of the company is the product – quality moonshine and whiskey. Back to the barn there is a lot to see and do. There is live music, Appalachian storytelling and outdoor adventure tours into the Sugarlands. Sugarlands is an area in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that for years has been called “moonshiners’ paradise”. This is due to its history and connection with moonshining.

And making moonshine is what Sugarland Distilling Company does best. The main products are Appalachian Apple Pie, Southern Sweet Tea, 100 proof Silver Cloud Tennessee Sour Mash, Jim Tom Hedrick’s Unaged 100 proof Rye, Mark Rogers American Peach, Tickle’s Dynamite Cinnamon and Butterscotch Gold. But at Sugarlands Distilling Co., they also pay homage to the time-honored tradition of whiskey making with several locally made products. Tennessee Whiskey, aged in charred oak barrels, Experimental Small Batch Whiskey, that uses different and unique combinations of specialty malts, grains and yeasts, and the Time Machine that features an advanced-aging process that artfully manipulates the effect of time to produce a super-premium whiskey. You can go online to reserve one of these unique products.
