Visit Our Site

Nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Old Forge Distillery hand forges small-batch Tennessee spirits including award-winning moonshines, cream liqueurs, bourbon, vodka, barrel aged gin, and rum. Located in the heart of the historic Old Mill Square in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Old Forge crafts spirits using stone-ground grains from The Old Mill, one of the oldest continually operated gristmills in America.

Inside the distillery, Head Distiller Keener Shanton uses freshly ground grain from the mill and pure mountain spring water to craft his award-winning small batch spirits including 1830 Original moonshine, named after the year the Old Mill was built. Keeping true to the area, Shanton draws his inspiration for his flavored moonshines, like Chocolate, French Toast, Coffee and Peach, from the nearby Old Mill Kitchens.
