Got all the flights to share. Pretty tasty whiskey. They have a great story and we can't wait to go back and do a tour.

We stopped here after visiting the Bentonville Battlefield. We read that this distillery uses…read moreTobacco leaves while finishing their bourbon. TK was behind the bar and was a fantastic person to interact with. Their bourbon and other spirits are well crafted using ingredients that they produce onsite. We had a great experience here and left with multiple bottles.

We had a nice one night stay and the goats... are TOO cute!! OMG... We did make a purchase of a bottle of gin. We were unable to do a tasting as they had a big party in there but that was ok.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. Did a flight and had some lunch. The staff were nice. Not many…read morepeople in there. Nice location and nice bar. Plenty of seating. The apple flavor whiskey was not good. Too syrupy and the peach flavor is insanely sweet; may be good in a mixed drink. The sweet potato was good. I could sip that easily. For food I had deviled eggs and brisket nachos. The deviled eggs weren't that good. The nachos tasted good and a nice portion. Though it's not bad, it also wasn't good. Glad I tried it off my list, but won't be back.

We came here on a whim and at the recommendation of my friend. First off, the aesthetics were…read morepleasing and we entered to the sound of live jazz filling the space. The acoustics were amazing and it added to the ambiance. There wasn't a hostess so we weren't sure how seating worked until we were approached by a someone working there who advised us that we could sit anywhere. While the ambiance was pleasant, the literal chairs that we were sitting in were falling apart and actually hazardous to the point that we advised the manager that the chairs had dangerously wobbly legs. Our server seemed pleasant and we ordered wings, a chicken sandwich, the Main Street old fashioned and the Ehh what's up doc. The drinks took a while to come out but they were delicious. Our food on the other hand took about 40 minutes to come out. The menu indicated that my sandwich came with kettle cooked chips but l didn't expect that it would be a literal bag of chips. I actually expected the chips to be made in house so it would be good if the menu actually said "bag of chips". Our server stated that the delay was because there was a large order that came into the kitchen but the large party that was there was actually leaving and didn't leave with a large food order. As it turns out, the food that came out before ours belonged to our server and her friends who were eating at another table close to the bar. We declined the free drink we were offered as an apology and had beignets to-go instead but being lied to about the reason for the wait on what appeared to be a slow night was unacceptable. Do better.

Drinks range from $10-$15 which is around the ballpark I expected. Staff were sweet, gave us suggestions on what to try, and also checked in on us quite often. They have board games that you can play so we decided to grab one and sat outside to enjoy our drinks. It was a cozy vibe inside but it was warm that day so we decided to sit outside. I forget the name of the drink but my favorite was a lemon tea that came hot. My friend loved the habanero vodka so much he came back to buy a bottle lol

We came here because they are affiliated with Harvest Host and we reserved to stay overnight in our RV. We were treated so nicely. We will definitely return in our future travels through this area.

They make many flavors and products. The peach flavored moonshine was smooth and sweet and surprisingly good. The Premium Select was tasty and I'd be glad to be serving that with friends. The bourbon was also worth another sip. I did not like the rum one bit. I thought it m if it be a bad vodka. I skipped tasting the vodka so I can't tell you.

I honestly can drink any of these rums neat because as a rum girl I do like rum neat but the white rum especially is a great mixer as well. It goes great with so many things even diet mountain dew (great on a hot summer beach day). The Reaper is great to add to a blood mary for the extra kick that may be needed in a bloody mary. You can easily drink the Procrastinator neat but it also goes great in an old fashioned. The Sweet Dark is so unique and is again great neat. Everytime I've been to the distillery they have always been so nice and friendly. They give free tours and tastings of all their products afterwards.
