About Junction 35 Spirits – Tanger
Junction 35 was created around the idea of combining a distillery with a kitchen and bar. The Sevierville location is the brand’s second location and offers a selection of handcrafted spirits including bourbon, rye, whiskey, moonshine, vodka, gin, tequila, and rum.
The distillery’s story draws from Sevier County’s railroad and moonshining history, with the Junction 35 name referencing the area’s history around Latitude 35 North. The brand uses that local history as inspiration while producing its own spirits in a range of traditional and flavored varieties.
The kitchen adds another reason to make the stop. Junction 35 serves Southern-inspired food alongside its spirits, with options including smoked meats, burgers, wings, and other comfort-food favorites. Visit Sevierville describes the Tanger location as a distillery-restaurant with Southern cuisine, making it practical for groups who want to eat and explore rather than make separate stops.
