Where To "Shine" in the Smokies
Look, there’s two kinds of “shine” in this world - a vaguely psychic power as introduced to us by Stephen King and the kind of “shine” which brings a lot of people to the Smoky Mountains nowadays. You know what we’re talking about: Mountain Dew! White Lightning! Hooch! Blue Ruin!
Moonshine, fellers!
Some years ago, the Smoky Mountains became home to the first legal moonshine distillery in the state and to say it was a big hit really, REALLY undersells it. A lot of the new developments you’ve seen in the Smokies for at least the last half decade can be traced back to the tourism brought in by the now-established spirits industry that came very shortly after. Now you can barely throw a stone in any direction without hitting a distillery (which, yeah, don’t do that - they might explode) and those who have become fans of the many, many kinds of moonshine available in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville, as well as those who haven’t been here to check them out at all will find something useful in today’s article where we detail for you where you can get your “shine” on here in the Smokies!
