We buzzed past the distillery and my husband QUICKLY whipped a U at the next driveway. Boy - are we glad he did. We bought 2 whiskey glasses. The weight - the feel - the shape - PERFECTION!!! We tasted and decided to purchase the tequila. We have served it to our friends and they have asked - where did you get this tequila? We happily share. I am so sad I cannot remember our tasting host name - she was delightful!!! We will be back- our Christmas present might just be tequila to our friends

My Mr and I were curious about moonshine and stumbled on this place on our way to our cabin. We…read morewent in and were greeted. Didn't know this but they have a show that is featured in the Discovery Channel. I may have to check it out. The inside is small but they have a huge patio. They have live bands that play on the weekends. We were able to find a spot to sit and did the tasting of the whole menu. The moonshine is made this facility. We tried: JB Rader's 103 Sally Jane's Sin-a-shine JB Rader's Honey Crisp Apple Kelly's Moonarita Purple Jesus Cherry Bounce Kelly's Pineapple Upside Down Cake Patty's Peach Pie Killer Beaz Appalachian Ambrosia Penny's Pecan Pie Charred Moonshine Me and my Mr.'s fave is the Charred Moonshine and Penny's Pecan. Loved it so much that we bought some jars to take home and bought and extra jar of Penny's Pecan to give as a gift to our friend. I'm more a bourbon fan, but after trying their stuff, I was sold on moonshine.

We saw this place as we were leaving Tennessee and I had to stop. It was the sign "Bootleggers"…read moreDistillery that got to me. I am not a whiskey drinker, but my husband is. Derek is the nicest guy and explained how he makes the whiskey and how the recipe has been in his family for years. How can you not like the level of that family tradition. He offers free samples, but I told him I do not like whisky, he told me just try it. OMG, it was the best whisky I ever tasted. I would recommend if you are ever in Tennessee, make it a point to stop at Bootleggers, you will not regret it.

Tasted like a light espresso drink with no alcohol taste! * Peppermint Mocha cream liquor was weak on mint but strong on chocolate. * Pineapple rum was standard flavored rum, enjoyable! * Salted Caramel whiskey was good and had a nice sweet flavor. * Smoked Apple was flavorful in apple but lacking the smoke flavor. * Orange creamsicle moonshine was gross, it was citrusy (but like a raw flavor not a fine tuned flavor) and not creamy. * Blackberry moonshine was weak on flavor. * PB Cup Whiskey had a gritty taste kind of like just eating the peanut butter insides of a Reese's cup.

Wild bill was our tastemaker for the Tennessee Shine moonshine and his flare was very unique, I thought I was at an auction which each presentation sample he was about to pour. I even like the pickle juice which by this time I needed between pours. It helped reset my palette. I like the Bloody Mary Mix, crème and lemonade. Big Sexy was our tastemaker for the wine side. He setup our taste where I got to signal once all pours were complete, "Bottoms up"! It was so much fun! Nevermind that this wine including the warmed drink was tasteful, sweet and no ill aftertaste. We purchased TSW Chocolate Cream, Rocky Red Flat and Pigeon Forge Blush. Our tour also included a moonshine operation demo by one of the bartenders. It was educational of course. Such a great time was had!

We decided to do the sampling at the recommendation of the 2 staff members there. We bought the sampling option $5 per adult, 8 samplings per adult not bad, for what you get. We went to the bar area and told to go to a kiosk to get tickets. We went and got the tickets, went to the bar, and stood there for a min, didn't get helped and the sampler server got summon to help a group of about 10 people wanting to do samplings. He left the sampling area, not acknowledging us, or setting us up before leaving. He was with the group for quite some time before we gave up went to the cash register, asked for a refund, and bought our bottles and left. I fully understand being understaffed, and having to juggle, but being ignored not even acknowledged, pass.

One truly remembers a place this wonderful. Located in beautiful quaint Jonesboro, there are many uniques shops and restaurants. Tennessee Hills offers tastings. The personnel are knowledgeable and friendly. We have had some of the best conversations with the staff and customers. This time we had lunch at the cafe next door. Fantastic food choices the Reuben and spicy chicken sandwiches get my highest recommendation. They offer a great number of mixed drinks made with their craft distilled spirits. Several Sunday football games were on the TVs in the cafe. The mood was festive in the cafe. Tennessee Hills has a new location in Bristol too! We will be back again and again!

We were checking out the city of Jonesborough, Tennessee and drove into the historic downtown area…read more We found street parking that made it easy to walk and explore. From our parking spot, we spotted Tennessee Hills Distillery and knew we needed to check it out. The Tennessee Hills Distillery opened in the historic Salt House of Jonesborough in 2016. We were immediately impressed with the downtown area of Jonesborough and the salt house in which Tennessee Hills Distillery is located. The building itself is amazing and is something that we would love to have as our own. We are drawn to historic commercial buildings that are being preserved and renovated to house businesses and/or homes. After walking inside, we were even more impressed. They were offering complimentary tastings and we decided to participate. We thought the pineapple upside down cake rum was delicious. They have a wide selection of liquor ranging from whiskey, flavored whiskey, rum, flavored rum, gin and vodka. They also have some nice SWAG for purchase and unique gift items. We purchased a bottle of their Pineapple Upside Down Cake Rum to give to our good friends. Overall, this was a great visit and we highly recommend to others.

The vibe here was unmatched--fun, lively, and just an all-around great atmosphere. What really stood out was the staff. While the deals were consistent across all locations, this was the only one where the team truly took their time with us. They explained everything in detail, made the experience feel personal, and got us excited to continue the scavenger hunt to the other locations. Their energy and enthusiasm made a huge difference and turned a fun stop into a memorable experience. If you're planning to visit multiple locations, start here--you won't regret it!

Coming to Pigeon Forge for the first time, I definitely wanted to try a moonshine tasting. I wasn't…read moresure what to expect, but once we arrived, they explained the two tasting options. We chose the one where you get to try all of their available moonshines for $8 per person, so my mother and I decided to do that. The tasting itself felt very rushed and hard to keep up with. I wish they had taken a little more time to explain the flavors instead of just handing them out quickly and moving on. The employee helping us didn't seem very enthusiastic and gave off the impression that she didn't really want to be there that day. On a positive note, the inside of Ole Smoky Moonshine was very clean. They wiped down the counters after every tasting, which I appreciated. One downside for me was that you couldn't choose which flavors you wanted to sample -- they just served whatever was included in that tasting lineup. I felt that was a disadvantage because I don't want to buy something if I'm not sure I'll like it, and there were a few flavors I was hoping to try that either weren't available or just aren't carried at that location. I did enjoy the deals they had going on, which honestly caused us to buy more than we planned -- but the offers were too good to pass up. We ended up getting the cooler that came with two mini six-packs. I do wish we could've chosen the free sixth flavor ourselves, but I wasn't too upset since I did like the butter pecan. Still, it would've been nice to have more choice. When we went to check out, I still needed to pick three more flavors and asked for recommendations, but the employee didn't give much guidance and just said to get whatever I liked. I understand they were dealing with a very busy time, and she did mention that, but I wish there had been a little more enthusiasm and helpfulness overall. That said, the moonshine itself was good, and the tasting experience was enjoyable enough that I would definitely do it again. It convinced us to purchase moonshine that same day, which was a win. Overall, the experience was decent, but the staff interaction could have been much better.

Many thanks to Cody for allowing me to visit and pepper him with questions…read more Not a distillery with the glistening mashtuns & stills of big money startups, Howling Moon is pure lean startup. Moonshine prepared the old school way with business savvy. Says they sold their first batch and are growing based on demand.
