About Tennessee Legend Distillery Winfield Dunn
If you like to try before you buy, Tennessee Legend keeps it simple. The distillery's Sevierville page says to enjoy some free sips to discover just the right taste to take home, and the shelves cover whiskey, moonshine, spirits and cream liqueur, with rum, gin and vodka also linked in the site footer.
What to try
The featured bottles on the website include Tennessee Snapper Straight Tennessee Whiskey, which is sold in store only, plus Cinnamon Whiskey, Salted Caramel Whiskey and Peanut Butter Cup Whiskey. The About section names White Lightning moonshine as an award-winning product. Ask what is open for sampling that day, because not every bottle will be.
Hours and address
This store is at 870 Winfield Dunn Parkway in Sevierville. Posted hours are Sunday through Thursday 10am to 9pm and Friday and Saturday 10am to 10pm. The site lists no phone number for it, so check the locations page before a holiday visit.
No tours
The official site does not list tours, so treat this as a tasting and shopping stop, not an activity. It is a quick visit, which makes it easy to fit between an outlet trip and a meal.
Same road, different stops
Winfield Dunn Parkway also has a Tennessee Shine Company store, so you can compare two free or low-cost tasting counters in one trip. Tennessee Legend also has a second Sevierville store on Newport Highway and a Nashville location.
Age and driving
The site says its products are for people over 21. Bring a photo ID to be safe, and plan a designated driver or a rideshare if you plan to try more than a sip or two.
Making the stop count
Free sips are small, so tell the staff what you like and let them choose a few for you. Sweet cream liqueurs and flavored whiskeys tend to be the easy gift bottles, while the straight whiskey is a better pick if you drink it neat. Compare the price on the shelf with what you expect to pay elsewhere before you buy several.
The store is easy to find from the main road and has straightforward parking, so it works well as a quick break in a longer day of errands, outlet shopping or sightseeing. Plan on about twenty minutes if you only want to sample and buy a bottle.
Before you taste
You need to be 21 or older to sample, and you should plan for a designated driver or a rideshare afterward. Samples are small, but the proof is not.
