    Great customer service at this Distillery. We went in just to browse around, but we'd also sampled 1 shot of moonshine which was $5 dollars. I went with the apple moonshine while my mom and boyfriend had just the regular one which is straight alcohol lol. I ended up just sipping mines which was good, but nothing I needed to purchase. On the other hand, my boyfriend finished his shot and ended up purchasing a bottle and my mom was still on hers which the employee added the rest of the moonshine into a slushy to make it more tolerable to drink. He was really awesome and engaging with us and it was nice of him to not charge her for that slushy.

    Somebody might be getting a moonshine slushy. #Uber LOL

    This local moonshine haven sells good old craft distilled spirits that are made in the Appalachian Mountains. Born from a deep heritage of distilling spirits in eastern Kentucky, Kentucky Mist takes pride in distilling their vsrious products, and making flavored moonshine that incorporates whole fruis for the a real clean and natural taste. It's a testament to their process which uses no chemicals and no preservatives. I'm partial to the blackberry but the the apple flavor is the best apple pie shine I've ever had. Theses guys know smooth,and I've tried every one of their flavors, and each one if their moonshines have a sweet, almost delicate, finish with just the right amount of burn so yo know it's moonshine :-) The 80 proof infused flavors are my absolute favorites and I was surprised that the infused vodkas are good as well, and I'm not a vodka fan. They've been in business since 2015 with two locations in Myrtle Beach, SC and here at the Wharf in Orange Beach, AL, but their roots go way back. They trace Kentucky Mist's roots back to Little Henry Holbrook and the days of American Prohibition, distilling corn liquor and bootlegging in the Appalachian Mountains. Henry was caught bootlegging his corn liquor to folks in the mountains of eastern KY, and the federal government put him away for a long stretch in an Atlanta federal penitentiary in 1930. Interesting history, while Henry was there, he formed a good friendship with fellow bootlegger, Al Capone. Fast forward to nearly 70 years after Henry's release his grandson Colin Fultz decided he was going to turn the Holbrook family tradition into a legal business and Kentucky must was born. You can purchase small or full shots of the different shines before you commit to larger bottles and that makes it a bit of an alcohol adventure. Bottom line: The staff are all friendly and fun, the place is very welcoming and the libations are all very good. Whether you're into the shine, or not, I can recommend giving this place a try.

    This distillery is so adorable! The man behind the bar was super helpful and had the best recommendations! If you're at the wharf in gulf shores, this is where you need to stop for drinks! Super friendly atmosphere, and great drinks!

    Really enjoyed coming here. We were on a road trip to PCB and wanted to make a few stops along the…read moreway. Not your normal distillery tasting, but certainly one that I very much appreciated. The owner of the distillery works alongside his son to run the place, which is very cool and admirable. We came in just about an hour before close, and were excited to do a tasting. Not having done a ton of research before arriving, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of offerings they had. There were several types of rums, ranging from light to dark, accompanied with a vodka and whiskey. Patrick was great at telling us the history of how they came to this place, but also the history of rums, and the legalities of what it took to get to where they are today, to be able to open and run a distillery. He was full of lots of history, which made the tasting interactive and educational. Great stop along the way. If you like rum, you will not be disappointed!

    Traveling through to our vacation spot, we saw this on the map and decided to see what kind of…read morespirits Florida was about. Patrick did not disappoint! We came in about an hour before closing, and Patrick was still happy to give us a tasting with quite a bit of history to go with it! The tasting room is a tiny office space next to the distillery area. We didn't get a chance for a tour as our timing was close to end of day for them, and it was just Patrick on site at the time. The parking lot has plenty of space available. Easy enough to get in and out of. Patrick chatted us up about their products, and history. And just general knowledge of the spiritsnane the history of how some of these items came to be, and their background in the industry. I learned a lot of cool bits of knowledge. One of the things that struck me about the distillery during our research phase of the trip was the artwork on the bottles. Turns out that his son, who is also running the business with Patrick, is the artist! The bottles look so cool, enjoy the pictures! The tasting was very good! We had quite a variety of sips to taste and compare. Basically lightest to heaviest. We ended up walking away with Rock'n Rum, and Spiced Rum (for winter drinks). A really good stop, we're glad we came through!

    I have seen the ads for this company and it's cool events on FB. My husband and I decided to…read morecheck it out on our first free afternoon and we saw that they were open on Black Friday (with a 25% off sale on EVERYTHING). We enjoyed the short trip from Crestview, down a winding tree lined road. BTW, Apple Maps does not send you to the right location, when you get to the "end" of Lake Ella Road, take a right and the Distillery is about 1-1.5 miles down on the right hand side....the big sign is easy to spot. We went into the tasting room after driving past some disc golf nets ($10 to play....looks like we'll be doing that soon!). The beautiful rustic building caught our eye as we pulled into the parking lot, and we saw the axe throwing area off to the side. Inside the tasting room, we met the owner who had just finished doing a tasting for the couple ahead of us. They grabbed stools for us and we were off on an educational sample tour of the different offerings of the Distillery. The owner is very knowledgeable about his craft, personable, and he didn't rush us as we chatted about the area, the notes we were tasting, and pairings and mixed drinks that could be made with each alcohol. The inside of the building is as beautiful as the outside, and we learned that it was built by the owners. It is a relaxed place to unwind and get started on the weekend. Typically the Distillery is open on Saturdays, from 11-4, and Black Friday was a special opening. The Distillery takes all forms of payment, including American Express, Visa, and Mastercard. Our receipt was emailed to me immediately upon our purchase. We bought a bottle of Timber Creek Florida Apple Pie, and Timber Creek Florida Gin. And we bought a token for a wood fired pizza. There are plenty of others that we will be buying in the future! After purchasing the 750 mL bottles, my husband decided to try the hand mixed drinks the owner creates and serves on tap. First he tried the Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade made with Timber Creek Florida Vodka, then he ordered the Timber Creek Tiki, which is Timber Creek Florida Rum, pineapple and jalapeño. The mixed drink menu changes periodically, but both had such a good flavor that it bodes well for all other mixed drinks too. Outside while we waited for our wood fired pizza, we used the corn hole games that were set up. It was so quiet out there! While it felt rural, we knew that we were only about 15 minutes from Crestview, so it was a relaxing getaway for the afternoon. Our wood fired pizza had a choice of toppings. Today there was pepperoni, pulled pork, onions, homemade tomato sauce and mozzarella. The staff member who was baking the pizza told us about how they make the crust on site, and she explained about the handcrafted pizza oven and the varying temperatures. She also mentioned that they have pizza making classes, so we look forward to signing up for that event in the future. Speaking of events, almost every weekend they host different events that you can sign up for on their website. There's lots of variety and would be great for a date night or for a group of friends to go and relax. There are comedy nights, distillery tours, special food events, and more....but even if you're not signed up for an event, you should still go on a Saturday to check them out! Definitely a highlight of Crestview!

    Once we made it here we had a great time. Apple GPS takes you all kinds of crazy and not alot of…read moresigns to point you in the right direction. We booked a tour and one of the two owners did our tour it was my husband and I and him. He was friendly and chatted openly with us. The other owner was manning the bar. Both owners were friendly and straight up. They offer pizza and it was delicious. The grounds are well kept. They offer axe throwing outside as well. We would return! We bought bottles to take home my favorite was the Gin.
