About Old Forge Distillery

Located in the heart of Pigeon Forge at The Old Mill Square, Old Forge Distillery carries on Tennessee's proud moonshining tradition in a beautifully restored historic farm supply building. The distillery crafts small-batch spirits using locally-sourced grains ground at the 200-year-old Old Mill next door, giving their products a genuine grain-to-glass pedigree.

Visitors can experience complimentary tastings of their signature moonshine flavors, premium vodka, and seasonal spirits at the rustic tasting bar. The knowledgeable staff shares stories about the distilling process and the area's rich moonshine history while guiding guests through sample flights. The distillery's 1830s-style copper pot still takes center stage, allowing visitors to see traditional distilling methods in action.

The gift shop offers all their spirits for purchase, along with local crafts, branded merchandise, and moonshine-making memorabilia. Their flavored moonshines range from traditional corn whiskey to creative varieties like coffee, chocolate, and seasonal fruit infusions. What sets Old Forge apart is their commitment to using time-honored techniques while experimenting with unique flavor profiles.

The distillery's location in The Old Mill Square makes it easy to combine with shopping, dining, and other historic attractions in Pigeon Forge. Free parking is available in The Old Mill Square lot. Whether you're a spirits enthusiast or just curious about Tennessee's moonshine heritage, Old Forge Distillery offers an authentic taste of local craft distilling in a historic setting.
