When you visit the Ole Smoky Moonshine Barn at The Island in Pigeon Forge, you can sample some of Tennessee’s signature spirits. Tastings at the Ole Smoky Barn are $5, but guests receive a $5 coupon in return that can be applied to any purchase made in the store.

Some of the most popular moonshine flavors you can try at Ole Smoky include Apple Pie, Hunch Punch Lightnin’, Orange, and Blackberry. The Ole Smoky Barn regularly hosts live bluegrass music, so it is a great place to visit even if you don’t partake in the moonshine.
