      Tastings of moonshine and creams! Awesome. Got ourselves a p'gin fizz ahead of dinner at the Mill next door!

      Plenty of souvenirs to buy (we got the funny coasters, maybe the p'gin fizz working on us!!)

      Nice establishment off the beaten path. Check it out!!

      All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Chet and Rob were excellent bar tenders. Rob made thoughtful suggestions and was interested in giving the experience above and beyond the normal tasting. Chet Meade great drinks and was helpful in answering local questions. Would come back again

      Come for the moonshine, stay for the rum cream. My mom was sold on the Haystack, which is a coconut flavored rum cream. I went for the peanut butter, which was my favorite by far.

      This is a great stop before eating at the Old Mill! The tasting is a big one and they have some unique flavors. The first stop we had a great server, but the second not so much. She stopped our tasting to hold two other conversations. We did enjoy the cute shop, the outdoors area to sit and relax.... Good stop!

      We were eating at the old mill restaurant. They gave us an hour to wait. We went next door to old forge distillery. I skipped the tasting round and went straight to the cocktails. We ordered 5 drinks, I had the old fashioned with their bourbon. The cocktail was very good. Hit the spot.

      They make all of the whiskey on site. The Bourbon that I had in the old fashioned is a 7 year old whiskey aged in an American oak barrel. The bourbon was smooth for 7 years.

      Our server was the bomb. Well educated and was quick on his toes.

      There seem to be a distillery on every corner of this area and this was on our walking path so we stopped in. They had a lot of different flavors on the moonshine and I think I liked the peach the best.

      They also had a bunch of merchandise so I picked up something that was there but didn't buy any shine.

      This is a must when in the area, because how can you not. This has to be one of our best highlights of our recent trip to smoky mountains! Tasters? Yes!!... Let me rephrase .... FREe Tasters for days!!! Brian? I think... Was awesome .. energetic, with tons of fun related jokes and facts about the distillery and its spirits.
      cant wait to visit again when in the area.

      As if one tasting station wasnt enough., They had multiple stations throughout the distillery. And cool little items for souvenirs. the other stations had small fees. One minor thing...wish they had travel friendly little samplers for sale. Would totally have bought them!!

      Thank you again for the awesome samples, outstanding customer service and delicious moonshine!
