    We visited all three Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery locations during our trip, and this one at The…read moreIsland in Pigeon Forge was hands down the BEST! 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.
