Great staff

Jan 2022 • Friends

Went there 01/02/2022 and Ashlyn Whaley served our cream liqueurs and did one of the best jobs ever. Her personality is by far one of the top and she really knows here stuff. As most people know I come up every month or every other month cause I collect moonshine. So I deal with a lot of these servers. She was very impressive. They were close yesterday due to weather so we went back today and was saddened to hear she was out sick. Wish her a speedy recovery. But the girl that did our shine sampling today did a very good job and it was a pleasure meeting her. My assistant misplaced your name so sorry. But you did great and we will return. Live the whole staff there.

Great Time!

Mar 2022

We sampled 10 of the moonshine varieties. Our bartender was absolutely wonderful. He was funny, warm and really knew all of the different flavors and described them very well. It was a fun time and we felt like he was a good friend by the time our tasting was complete.

Best distillery in Pigeon Forge

Nov 2022 • Solo

This was an excellent place to visit. Free samples of moonshine in abundance (10, to be exact) and Ron our tasting guide was great. Premium spirits and crème tastings available for a $5 fee. Definitely worth a stop!

Rude Cashier with pink hair.

Nov 2022 • Friends

My husband jokingly said smile to our cashier with the pink hair, and she went off on him about just having surgery and she has nothing to smile about, She told him he was rude for saying that, and told us to have the day we deserve as we were walking out. If she had politely told us she wasn't feeling well, he would have said, "Sorry, you're not well." I was buying products for a friend, or I would have left and never purchased a thing.

Good samples and great variety

Jul 2021

Another good distillery with sampling and a gift shop by The Old Mill restaurant. The staff was great and they offer some flavors not found elsewhere. The only issue was they advertise 20% off if you buy six bottles and we did....but they weren't all regular moonshine, although the creams and other liquors are the same price. Being a little higher in price than most other distilleries not sure why they wouldn't count bottles like the signs state....beware!

Rob was a great host - we enjoyed the tasting. He was so fun and treated us like family! The moonshine was outstanding - especially the Oatmeal Cookie and Orange/ Vanilla combo. Rob gave examples of how to combine moonshines or just enjoy each flavor! We will definitely be back.

Good location, average shine tasting

Dec 2019 • Couples

Good location in Old Mill district but the store is awkwardly laid out and only one group can taste at a time which means you’re waiting to get in line. The shine is average and didn’t taste any special flavors. They also have a cash bar that puts out decent drinks but be prepared to pay $10/drink for small drinks. The store is in a good location and kinda cool to look around but for my $$ I bought my shine at Sugarland Shine because they have more variety.

Quaint Distillery

Oct 2020 • Couples

Quaint distillery with great tasting options. Everyone wore masks even if it was a bit crowded. We visited 10/31/2020, so it was peak season. There are so many flavors of moonshine to try and the chocolate coconut cream tasted just like a Mounds candy bar. My son went the whisky route though. Free parking with several other shops in the area to visit. We left with moonshine, cream liqueur, baseball cap and stickers for the camper.

Old Forge has lost the Moonshine Mojo

Jun 2021

All of the moonshine retailers are taking it slow to return to normalcy. this place is back to offering the popular samples; but, keeping it on the down low, more or less. we stopped in on a midweek afternoon and the tasting counter was 3 deep w/ only one bartender on duty. We waited our turn and the server was pleasant and congenial. But, the experience has lost its former zip and social bump. Now, on the other hand, they've added a cream sample station. The young lady at that spot was a good choice as she was engaging and friendly. On the other hand, her cart only could handle two people at a time. So, sort of odd. We ordinarily favor these places w/ a retail purchase; but, this felt so haphazard that we went right out the front door. Old forge needs to lock the door - hold a meeting and re-organzie on how they do business.

We Love Rob

May 2022

Rob is the best, he treated us like he has known us all of his life and kept us laughing (no it wasn't the moonshine) while introducing us to the different moonshine flavors. The store is very nice and has unique items. The moonshine flavors are great I highly recommend visiting!!!
