4. Tennessee Shine Company - Gatlinburg
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,752 reviews
Here at Tennessee Shine Company, we focus on bottling the best instead of the most. That’s why you’ll only find small-batch moonshine and whiskey with our labels. Passed down through generations, our Smoky Mountain recipes stay true to the signature flavors and seasonal blends our families are known for. Pair that with our down-home, friendly atmosphere, and you’ll understand what sets our distillery apart from the rest.

Our host, Katie, made us feel right at home. From blueberry pancake batter to root beer float to banana laffy taffy, the flavors and history of Doc Collier's distillery were awesome to experience. I would highly recommend walking downtown Gatlinburg afterward. We visited several distilleries in the area including Ole Smokey and Sugarlands. Doc Collier's is the best!
