If you go to Knoxville and you like whiskey (or vodka, gin, rye, rum et al), you definitely need to go here for a tasting. You can get a tasting flight of 13 of their distilled spirits (I'd guess that equals 3-4 shots) for the incredible price of $10, and if you purchase something after the tasting, you get $5 off of the purchase price. It's a cute little place just a short walk from Old City (downtown). The staff are friendly and the vibe is casual, fun and cozy. Our favorites were the smoky gin and the rye 95, but pretty much all of their spirits were good (well, the unaged corn whiskey -- aka "moonshine" was not my thing, basically it's like drinking rubbing alcohol). Highly recommended! read more

Knox Whiskey Works - Tasting flight of 13 distilled spirits - Distilleries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Whiskey tasting was great! For my first time visiting Knoxville, I had to try some Tennessee Whiskey. Whitney & Tanner were fun & welcoming during our visit. The spirit flight was about $9 for 12 samples. We tried gin, vodka, and whiskey.... oh my! The dry gap barrel gin, fleur de vie liqueur, and the old city cold brew coffee liqueur were my favorite samples. I also finished up with a delicious rosemary whiskey sour. We had a great time at Knox Whiskey Works! read more

We had a great time at Knox Whiskey Works easily one of our favorite stops on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, if not the favorite. Z was our bartender and she made the whole experience a blast. We bonded over our mutual love of Costco and ended up buying matching Costco sweaters (she was already wearing one) by the end of the tasting. Instant friendship. We picked up the Deals Gap Dragon Tail honey habanero whiskey. It's hot, sweet, and unique. Fun tip: throw it in the freezer and it turns more peppery, with the sweetness dialed back. Great vibes, great people, great whiskey. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great place. Employees were friendly, courteous and attentive. The whiskey was great. We will definitely return.

Really good cocktails and the staff are amazing. The bourbon is delicious. And the prices for the cocktails and spirits are very reasonable. Z is a great Manager and Bartender. read more

This place is amazing, prices are so worth it, staff is so welcoming and we stumbled in on accident. Ended up staying for a few hours chatting with the staff and other patrons.

Very small distillery with great tasting prices. Our server was well versed on the liquors as well as very personable. The tasting menu consisted of 13 liquors for $10 or 5 for $5.

This place was a fun find when we were exploring downtown Knoxville. The prices are fantastic and you're able to taste all 13 spirits for only $10. There's also a cocktail flight - super cute shot-sized cocktails. These were sweet and just okay, but it's still fun to taste and see how they use their own spirits in cocktails. Service was great too! read more

Loved the place, the staff and creative drinks. I wish I asked for the ladies names, they were super nice. We would come back for sure. Love the option of small drink orders and then have the opportunity to order it in super size. Thank you for a nice time and conversation. read more

Came in on a whim and enjoyed our experience. Lady working at front was very friendly and we had a great conversation with her. I did the vodka/gin flight and really enjoyed the range vodka and the gin they had the flowery taste. I'm NOT a gin person but ended up buying that gin. Husband has the whiskey flight and the honey/habanero whiskey was really good! Love the tasting room, it's small but fun! read more

Knox Whiskey Works - Vodka/Gin flight - Distilleries Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Very nice and friendly staff dedicated to ensuring you have a great experience. Very affordable drinks and flights. I recommend getting the mini cocktail flight to try the varieties but their coffee based cocktail is superb. The one downside to this location is how small it is! It can get filled up with little room to sit and enjoy, but this does make the interactions with other patrons and staff more enjoyable. read more

Great little joint with a cute bar to sit at and do different flights. We loved the Dragon Tail and bought a bottle to take home.

Stopped in while following our whiskey trail. The place is small and nice. The flavors were not bad, but just not for me. But wait they did have one called the Dragon something and it was pretty unique. read more

Trying to complete the Tennessee whiskey trail and this is one of the stops. On my way to Gatlinburg, stopped in to check this place out. Limited parking is free and the distillery is small. Very friendly staff with a few unique drinks. There are some gifts / souvenirs here but not as many as other distilleries. The samples had were very good and I bought a bottle of my favorite sample. If in the area, definitely stop by! read more

Interesting distillery located in the heart of Knoxville. The build itself is rather small but they offer a fun array of whiskeys, gin, rum, vodka and an herbal liquor.

I was absolutely blown away by my experience at Knox Whiskey Works! Let me start by saying that the place is pretty small, and the parking situation can be a pain in the ass. But trust me, once you get inside, you'll forget all about those minor inconveniences. The service here is top-notch. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their craft. They take the time to walk you through the different spirits and explain the process behind them, which really adds to the overall experience. And speaking of spirits...WOW. These guys know what they're doing when it comes to their spirits! I was blown away by the depth of flavor and complexity in each one I tried. They have a selection of herbal liquor rum, whiskeys, gin, and vodka. The best part? The prices here are super reasonable. You might expect to pay an arm and a leg for craft spirits of this caliber, but everything here is really affordable. You can get a flight of spirits for a really reasonable price, which is a great way to sample a little bit of everything, or you can get a cocktail or a flight of mini cocktails. That is the best bang for your buck. Knox Whiskey Works is an absolute must-visit for any craft spirits lover. Yes, the parking situation is a little tricky, and the place itself is small, but those are minor quibbles when you consider the quality of the experience. The service is great, the spirits are amazing, and the prices are right. What more could you ask for? read more

Great whiskeys, super friendly servers and reasonably priced drinks. This is a small but fun tasting room with neat decor and trinkets to buy. read more

Great whiskey here! They have three choices for tasting. I like all kinds of whiskey, so I did the whiskey flight, which was awesome! Knox Whiskey Works does a great job with their product. as far as the facility itself, there isn't a whole lot of room there. If you're a singleton like I was, no big deal. If you come with more than two people, there just isn't a lot of room. All-in-all, though, good whiskey and a friendly atmosphere. Give it a try! read more

My sister in law and I were exploring Knoxville a few weekends ago and stopped by the Whiskey Works, shortly after it opened on a Saturday (we tried not to look to desperate for whiskey, I promise). For a while we were the only ones there which was nice. The guy working was extremely friendly and talkative and is in charge of creating many of the cocktails they sell. We decided to do a flight of their liquors and we tried a select few. I especially enjoyed their gin, their dragon tail whiskey, and their Fleur de Vie floral liqueur. The floral liqueur was really nice and I wish I had gotten a bottle. I still might if I'm passing through again! It would be perfect for a cool summer cocktail. We also tried their cocktail flight and I was impressed! My favorite was the pomegranate peppercorn but I truly enjoyed all of them. And I appreciate them offering a flight of cocktails so you can try some of each! Very clever. We also tried their special Valentines cocktail and it was delicious. Overall a great stop during our day out and I highly recommend going in for a few tastings! read more

We happened upon this by chance, but we are so thankful we did! Maddie was our server, very patient with our questions and very knowledgeable!. The prices for either flight are very reasonable (and with odd allergies, Maddie was very accommodating of me!). The Mr had the flight of 13, I had the cocktail flight. Every one was delish! Very laid back atmosphere, and the decor was very neat, as well. We would DEFINITELY recommend this place! read more

This place is so cute and has some seriously delicious booze. Small inside but very welcoming and cozy. The owner was so friendly and explained to us all we needed to know about the different whisky, vodkas, etc they had. You can do flights which is awesome. We eneded up getting a bottle of their Maple Rum which was one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted. I don't even like run but I was drinking this straight. Def looking forward to going back since they can't ship their products over state lines. So stock up while you're there! Its def worth it. read more

Drove an hour out of the way to come here just to find a sign on the door at 3pm out to lunch. With nothing saying what time they will be back from lunch. Very poor business. read more

We had the most amazingly fun experience! We were visiting from out of town and stumbled onto Knox Whiskey and must say, it was the highlight of our trip! The two ladies working there were very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. We sampled some truly exceptional spirits and learned so much during the experience. But what really made this a memorable moment was the staff. We are excited to share some Knox Whiskey with friends when we get home! read more

This place is so cool!!! I wish I had discovered this place earlier in my trip to Knoxville rather than right before my 2 hour drive home. How cool to have a spot downtown that distills a bunch of different types of liquor! My first impression upon entering Knox Whiskey Works was that it is decorated/organized in a way that is super pleasing to the eye and just asking to be photographed. The colorful labels of the liquor bottles all arranged perfectly on shelves is gorgeous. I actually noticed their labels when I was at a bar earlier in the weekend and thought to myself "I must find that liquor!" aha, I sure did! Knox Whiskey works makes Gin, Vodka, Whiskey, Coffee Liqueur and my favorite that I tried was the Dragon Tail Whiskey with honey and habanero. It is perfectly balanced and not very spicy like it sounds. I am looking forward to going back this summer and trying their cocktail flight---what!? I've never even heard of such a thing but it sounds marvelous. I love me a good cocktail and am so excited about locally distilled liquors, I can't wait to try this out. read more

The whiskey was mediocre and the staff was less than welcoming. Colin, the bartender complained about people moving to Knoxville on end and complained about other patrons after they left. Can't believe this guys is able to work here. read more

This place is great, they have distilled some interesting and very tasty whiskey. I wish I didn't have to go to Tennessee to get it!

We loved this place! Cori and Jessica are the best people we have met! The cocktail flight is amazing and great atmosphere!

Was expecting a lot more Whiskey/Bourbon Distilleries in Knoxville; however, KWW saved the day. It's a small location, but has a classy yet intimate feel to it. Special thanks to our bartender, Whitney, who made the experience fun. She was awesome. All of the whiskeys are good and the bartenders really know their stuff! read more
