My Mr and I were curious about moonshine and stumbled on this place on our way to our cabin. We…read morewent in and were greeted. Didn't know this but they have a show that is featured in the Discovery Channel. I may have to check it out. The inside is small but they have a huge patio. They have live bands that play on the weekends. We were able to find a spot to sit and did the tasting of the whole menu. The moonshine is made this facility. We tried: JB Rader's 103 Sally Jane's Sin-a-shine JB Rader's Honey Crisp Apple Kelly's Moonarita Purple Jesus Cherry Bounce Kelly's Pineapple Upside Down Cake Patty's Peach Pie Killer Beaz Appalachian Ambrosia Penny's Pecan Pie Charred Moonshine Me and my Mr.'s fave is the Charred Moonshine and Penny's Pecan. Loved it so much that we bought some jars to take home and bought and extra jar of Penny's Pecan to give as a gift to our friend. I'm more a bourbon fan, but after trying their stuff, I was sold on moonshine.

Derek is the nicest guy and explained how he makes the whiskey and how the recipe has been in his family for years. How can you not like the level of that family tradition. He offers free samples, but I told him I do not like whisky, he told me just try it. OMG, it was the best whisky I ever tasted. I would recommend if you are ever in Tennessee, make it a point to stop at Bootleggers, you will not regret it.

We were lucky enough to walk in, pay for our sampling, and go right to the table. The staff member pouring our samples was an absolute riot, he had everyone laughing and in great spirits. We sampled 14 varieties of Moonshine and one specialty vodka sample. Everything was tasty, the pickle one was a bit weird, but still pretty good. Your sampling wristband earns you a $5 discount off merchandise purchases but not everything in the store. The wristbands are stackable, with no limit, so if you have people in your group who don't want to buy anything be sure to ask them for their wristbands to help discount purchased for others who are purchasing something at the store. They also provide additional discounting on top of the wristband discount to Military/Veterans. The store is organized, clean, has a lot of great merchandise, varieties of Moonshine, and other adult beverages. They also have a cocktail bar and a small stage where live music is scheduled throughout the day. We purchased 3 different types of Moonshine - a Cherry Limeade, a Chocolate Coffee Cream Liqueur, and the Banana Pudding. All three are delicious and I would definitely buy them again next go-around. All-in-all, it's a great spot to have a little fun at an affordable cost while visiting Gatlinburg, TN. I recommend them if you are shopping in the area.

We took a "seat" at the bar and we were allowed to have 2 rounds of 4 tasting. I did like their system of placing a little cup on top of a placement where they had pictures of moonshine.

Tasted like a light espresso drink with no alcohol taste! * Peppermint Mocha cream liquor was weak on mint but strong on chocolate. * Pineapple rum was standard flavored rum, enjoyable! * Salted Caramel whiskey was good and had a nice sweet flavor. * Smoked Apple was flavorful in apple but lacking the smoke flavor. * Orange creamsicle moonshine was gross, it was citrusy (but like a raw flavor not a fine tuned flavor) and not creamy. * Blackberry moonshine was weak on flavor. * PB Cup Whiskey had a gritty taste kind of like just eating the peanut butter insides of a Reese's cup.

This is the place…read moreto get the hard stuff that also tastes like an oatmeal cookie or watermelon taffy or a pumpkin roll. When you want to get drunk, but you also need your drink to look electric blue and taste like raspberry, you come here. I'm not the biggest fan of sweet drinks in general, and especially not sweet alcohol. But I wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to taste some of Old Forge Distillery's moonshine and gin. They also make vodka, whiskey and rum. The gin was good! It doesn't taste like traditional gin, because they age it in bourbon barrels, so it has a little bit of a caramel taste to it. (In my opinion.) The moonshine and the cream liqueurs are where you will find the crazy flavors. I think my favorite was the coffee moonshine, which tastes like a wonderfully spiked black coffee. Samples are plentiful. The bartender told us which ones were crowd favorites, and also recommended some that I would not have picked myself. They also have a huge gift shop with lots of tchotchkes, plus bottles of their goods to take home with you.
