    "I wanna drink a little moonshine in the sunshine of a Summer day" Erick Baker…read more Except for it being a sunny autumn day, this was my exact thought upon discovering Grandaddy Mimm's Distilling, and that's exactly what we did. The Distillery has a great rustic feel, but with a slight grunge feel to it. The bar is front and center upon entering, with shiny bottles lined up everywhere. We were greeted right away and chose to go with their sampler, any 8 tastes for $7. Now don't get too excited, they are thimble sized, but it's a great way to find the shine you'll love. On this day there wasn't a bad on on the batch. They offer cocktails made with all of their moonshine and spirits. I ended up picking up two bottles, The first was their "Barrel Aged Shine" a limited edition, 109 proof, 2 year corn whiskey shine. It was, and I say was, because it only lasted Thanksgiving weekend, a fantastic moonshine whiskey. Perfect for a stiff old fashioned. I am tempted to make the three hour round trip to pick up another one. The second was their Sorghum Rum. I'm not sure if there's a lot of competition in the sorghum rum space, but this is definitely a winner. A very sweet sipping rum, absolutely delicious on its own or in a cocktail. I am definitely pacing this bottle to make sure it lasts until I can make it back to Blairsville. They have a stage and different events, so it would be fun to come back and hang out longer. Grandaddy Mimm's Distilling shines!

    This is a must if your in the area. You can sit at the bar or just sit around the room and relax…read more The cocktails are amazing. You can get a tasting flight of 8 samples for only $7. Moonshine , rum, vodka and whiskey. The creams are delicious also. Service is friendly.

    Found this by accident on Yelp and thought we'd check it out since we are new to the area. Went on…read morea Saturday after 2ish and there was one other couple besides us and our adult kids. It's a very large building (a industrialize feel) with what feels like multiple rooms (one room connected to main room has a stage) with quite a large open air patio with high top tables and patio furniture with padding and tables. Inside has tables, a HUGE Projection TV on the wall, a long belly-up to the bar, also a private room (The Legacy Room) for private events. It also has a store inside selling the spirits the distillery makes (which by the way is made on site). We loved the laid back feel and wide openness of the building. We were told that once a month they have line dancing/swing dancing and hire two instructors to teach. The music isn't live to continue dancing and practicing what you learn. Apparently the first night had about 60-70 people. They clear the entire floor of tables so there is plenty of room to quick up your heels. However there is a $10 cover charge. Sorry I didn't take a pic of the flyer on the door so you'll have to call and ask what night it happens but I believe it's a Friday night and right now once a month. As it gets popular, we were told maybe twice a month. They offer tables games and cards to play while tasting their Bourbon, Gin, Vodka, Tequila and mixed drinks they sell. Our guys tried a flight for $25 with generous pours. Most they liked, some not so much, but would like to go back and try their Old Fashioned. There is a very long ramp for accessible access or stairs whichever is needed. Ample parking but I'm sure on those nights when line dancing is taught it could get full. The bathrooms are gender neutral as seen in the picture. The guy behind the bar was very nice and shared lots of info on their spirits production. It was nice to have a bowl of saltine crackers but they were stale. I guess it doesn't matter because they are most likely to use when taste testing. We will be back!

    "Civilization begins with distillation." --William Faulkner…read moreWho would have thought we'd find such an excellent example of civilization while exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains? House of Applejay was an unexpected adventure during our Thanksgiving weekend. A simple sign advertising the distillery drew us in. Not really knowing what to expect, we were immediately impressed by the clean, classy, and charming interior. It struck a perfect balance between bar and retail shop, with beautiful bottles displayed all around. We were warmly greeted by the owner, Carole, and the most dapper bartender, John. John did a fantastic job introducing us to the distillery, which specializes in liqueurs and spirits that combine European tradition with Georgia mountain flair. He went above and beyond, offering not only samples but also detailed descriptions of each pour. He was as entertaining and informative as any YouTuber--something we never would have expected. This wasn't a sales pitch; it was excellent customer service delivered with pride and a hint of well-deserved braggadocio. After his presentation, John gave us time to decide which cocktails we wanted to try. We chose the Mountain Old Fashioned and the Applejay Mule. The Mountain Old Fashioned featured bourbon and their Winter Cherry Mountain Liqueur, while the Applejay Mule showcased their Applejay Liqueur paired with blood orange ginger beer. Both were absolutely delicious! All of their spirits are available for purchase, and it was hard not to buy every bottle. I ultimately settled on the Winter Cherry Mountain Liqueur, which I'm frugally savoring at home to make my Old Fashioneds extra special. Highly recommended for a great time and delicious cocktails. We will definitely be back!

We tried to go back the next day and brought my husband along and our experience was completely opposite. We sat at the bar and never received even an acknowledgment. We waited 15 minutes and tried several times to get the bar tender's attention. He was too busy talking about his beard! The owner ignored us as well so we left. It totally ruined our experience and we will never go again.
