Moonshine is representative of the area's deep-rooted sense of individualism and autonomy. People used to view making white lightning as a way of shunning outside authority. Others cooked up the sour mash just to keep up with tradition like their fathers and grandfathers before them. Inspired entrepreneurs began to produce legal moonshine in licensed distilleries across the region. Pigeon Forge moonshine distilleries have become very popular with Smoky Mountain visitors. Guests can take distillery tours, see the moonshining process, sample free moonshine and take some of the mountains home with them!
