About Tennessee Shine Co

Tennessee Shine Co stands out among Sevierville's distilleries for its exceptional moonshine tasting experience and genuine Southern hospitality. The distillery's star bartender, Bubba, has earned a devoted following for his entertaining presentations and deep knowledge of moonshine-making traditions. For just $5, visitors can sample eight different moonshines—notably larger pours than you'll find at other local distilleries.

The tasting menu showcases an impressive range of moonshine varieties, from smooth 12.5% flavored options perfect for newcomers to powerful 67.5% ABV traditional spirits that appeal to moonshine enthusiasts. Each tasting includes detailed explanations of the distilling process and the stories behind different flavors, making it both educational and entertaining.

What really sets Tennessee Shine Co apart is its welcoming, no-pressure atmosphere. The staff takes time to help customers find their perfect match, whether they're first-time moonshine tasters or experienced spirits collectors. The retail area offers all their moonshine varieties for purchase, along with local merchandise and gift items.

Regular visitors often recommend starting with the milder flavored options before working up to the stronger traditional moonshines. The distillery's central location in Sevierville makes it easily accessible for tourists exploring the Smoky Mountains region. While walk-ins are welcome, groups of 8 or more should call ahead to ensure the best experience.

First-time visitors should know that while the tasting is incredibly affordable at $5, you'll want to bring extra cash or a card if you plan to take bottles home—many guests find themselves wanting to purchase their favorites after the tasting.
