A hidden gem in the beautiful city of Hendersonville! I'm glad this place popped up because I was…read moredying to take some moonshine back to my home state of Florida. Parking was easy (you can park on the grass) and the location is easy to find. Walked in and was immediately welcomed with a smile! I was offered some samples before buying what I truly wanted. The crowd was so friendly too, looks like I'm not the only one that comes independently. I was sampled the regular moonshine, peach, amaretto and the peanut butter. Holy crap! All of them were so delicious. Not too sweet, not too alcoholic-ly. It was the perfect amount to get you buzzed. I ended up going home with the original and peach... but man if I lived here, I would get all the flavors. I can't wait to share my mason jars with my boyfriend! I recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're going to come here alone. The staff makes you feel, so not alone. Their moonshine is a little bit on the pricey side, but it's a huge mason jar and the quality is top notch. They were so nice to even bag it up for me, get it prepared to bring it back home! I am definitely coming back here next time I'm in NC. * The staff here are also Star Wars lovers, it's a WIN WIN!

They taught us all about their products and we thoroughly enjoyed what we tasted. The winner for our group were the coffee-flavored moonshine, the amaretto flavored, and the peach. Enjoyed but not purchased was the apple one, the name of which escapes me. It tasted like the liquid part of an apple pie and finished tasting like a cinnamon broom from christmastime. Highly recommend stopping in if you can.

Stopped in at their new digs (well, they've been here for 4 years, but I've not visited here since…read morethey moved. There was this whole pandemic/lockdown, see, and I kinda didn't travel...) and now they have a tasting room with real food and flights of their extended offerings. Carolina Crème is why I came, but they have an Avena Oat whiskey and an Heirloom Rye vodka that are both very nice!! Also had a BBQ BLT, which was amazing!! The bacon is rubbed with BBQ spices, and rather than fresh tomato, they use julienne sticks of marinated sun dried tomatoes. It hit just right! I did request another leaf of lettuce, since the other ingredients were a bit salty. That did the trick for the half that traveled toward home with me. Only a small part made it all the way home to Durham, however. I kept nibbling at it while driving. So good! I'll need to make this pilgrimage again soon.

Every time I have gone, they have been very welcoming and a fun ambiance. Usually there are other people doing a tasting at the same time and it almost becomes a fun group activity as other people just want to have a good time as well. They also have a little section for merchandise where you can buy, hats, T-shirt's, stickers, etc. I highly recommend trying sugar tit! Their cookies and cream moonshine is a go to!

Moonshine prepared the old school way with business savvy. Says they sold their first batch and are growing based on demand. Main room has three pot stills with thumpers, they're working on a fourth still. HM is "proof" that with determination and know how, it's possible to make a go of it. Love the spirit - and the spirits! Good luck. PS wasn't sure what what a rating would mean. Mine is for hosting me at their digs.

They are a 100 % grain to glass small batch gin and whiskey distillery. They do tastings for only 1.00 each,flights as well as hand crafted cocktails. We tried their Barrel Reserve Gin matured in casks for at least 1 yr,Single Malt Whiskey and their Rye Whiskey. They do sell bottles to go but we're out of the Rye since it is a limited release only available at the distillery. Their spirits are good in taste and are worth a visit.

The tasting area is small but we were the only ones there so that was nice. The lady who did the tasting was very nice and did a good job explaining the differences between the products.

For the tasting, you get 5 they pick (Tim smith bourbon, rye bourbon( snarly yow), 314, peach, and salted Carmel, They let you pick the 6th. I had the apple, husband had the peanut butter.

Iris was the highlight of our visit. She not only served us but also made us feel at home and gave us such a rich history of the distillery. The owners have a foraging background, and all of the herbs used come straight from North Carolina. Even the water here is top-notch. She shared that they had just recently reopened after Tropical Storm Helene last year, which made the experience feel even more special. I started with a flight plus whiskey and tried the Bitter Tooth (sweet and smooth), the Appalachian Fernet, and the Rustic Nocino. The whiskey rye was impressively smooth. I loved the flight so much that I had to order an Amaro Sour, which turned out to be an absolute delight. What's really nice too is that this place is kid-friendly, so it feels very welcoming. Honestly, this is a spot everyone should check out while in Asheville. Stop in, take your time, and don't leave without grabbing a bottle to bring home.
