To celebrate the launch, Sugarlands is hosting a Pick Your Mountains Sweepstakes where one lucky winner and a guest will be able to choose an extended weekend getaway in eitherthe Great Smoky Mountain National Park or Yosemite National Park.

Since opening the Gatlinburg distillery doors, fans have been requesting Sugarlands spirits in their home states across the country. More than 650,000 patrons have searched to find a retail location in their area via Sugarlands.com. Each year, over 1 million visitors step through the doors of the downtown Gatlinburg distillery where they can take behind-the-scenes tours, taste seasonal samplings of Sugarlands spirits, sip hand-crafted cocktails from the newly added Cocktail Kitchen and enjoy free live music on the Sugarlands Spirit Stage. SDC produces four unique lines of spirits including rye whiskey, cream liqueur, rum and moonshine that have collectively won over 40 awards in international spirit competitions.

Sugarlands Distilling Company has a unique partnership with six moonshining legends from Discovery Channel's hit television show, Moonshiners. Mark Rogers, Mark Ramsey, Digger Manes, Steven Tickle and Jim Tom Hedrick have worked with SDC distillers over the last four years to perfect their 'backwoods' recipes and make them available to the public. This year, Sugarlands Distilling Co. added Patti Bryant to the Legends roster and is now distilling Patti's Wild Mayhaw Moonshine.

"We've had an amazing four years since we opened the doors of our Gatlinburg distillery. We have fun making spirits and sharing them with our guests, and that has been the key to our success. With this expansion, we are thrilled to bring our little mountain distillery to the great state of California," said Ned Vickers, Sugarlands Distilling Company President.
