They are a 100 % grain to glass small batch gin and whiskey distillery. They do tastings for only 1.00 each,flights as well as hand crafted cocktails. We tried their Barrel Reserve Gin matured in casks for at least 1 yr,Single Malt Whiskey and their Rye Whiskey. They do sell bottles to go but we're out of the Rye since it is a limited release only available at the distillery. Their spirits are good in taste and are worth a visit.

They do tours and tastings and we arrived just in time to take the tour. The distiller gave lots of information but made sure to explain the process in a way that those of us who just enjoy the drinking part can understand. We had 4 products during the tasting and all were fantastic! My husband loved the smoky one, and the rye was mine. They do offer some cocktails but we unfortunately had to get back on the road. We will be back when in the area. It is out of the way, but 100% worth it.

The tasting area is small but we were the only ones there so that was nice. The lady who did the tasting was very nice and did a good job explaining the differences between the products.

For the tasting, you get 5 they pick (Tim smith bourbon, rye bourbon( snarly yow), 314, peach, and salted Carmel, They let you pick the 6th. I had the apple, husband had the peanut butter.

The friendly staff walks you through all their top pours, and the retail shop is cozy and packed with great gifts. Gin is their speciality. Be sure try whatever limited editions they have, and don't miss the chocolate orange gin liqueur, which tastes like a Terry's chocolate orange in a glass. Tours book up fast so if you want to see the distillery at work, plan ahead.

The kids chicken tenders were a minced meat type, I wish it had been a real chunk of breaded chicken breast. But their meal came with ice cream and drink and lots of fries so they didn't complain. We sat outside to enjoy the afternoon sun. They have a large lively interior space too. Gluten free buns are available if you ask and they're tasty, which I so appreciate.

We were able to sample 4 liquors and 4 liqueur. For the liquors, we samples rum, two types of gin, and vodka. All had high ABVs but the rum and vodka had very light flavors without the usual bite at the end! Their regular gin had a strong juniper taste, while their Shades of Rose Gin carried a lighter, fruitier taste. For Liqueurs, we were able to sample their Appalachian Aperetif, Ginger Cordial, Creme de Cacao, and Coffee Liqueur. My top three were the Shades of Rose Gin, the Ginger Cordial, and the Coffee Liqueur. After choosing our top three samples, our mixologist made us three half cocktails from our selections. The class was amazing, the drinks were amazing, and our mixologist was amazing! The cost of the class was $30 per person.

The inside of the venue was airy and modern, with a lot of space to move about and explore. The layout was nice and easy to follow around to everything without an issue. The service we received was top-notch with no concerns. The beverages we were able to participate in were also interesting and mostly enjoyable - of course, this just means some things are intentional in a tasting to challenge your palette, be open, and have fun! Would recommend sometime for your friend group.

One truly remembers a place this wonderful. Located in beautiful quaint Jonesboro, there are many uniques shops and restaurants. Tennessee Hills offers tastings. The personnel are knowledgeable and friendly. We have had some of the best conversations with the staff and customers. This time we had lunch at the cafe next door. Fantastic food choices the Reuben and spicy chicken sandwiches get my highest recommendation. They offer a great number of mixed drinks made with their craft distilled spirits. Several Sunday football games were on the TVs in the cafe. The mood was festive in the cafe. Tennessee Hills has a new location in Bristol too! We will be back again and again!

We were checking out the city of Jonesborough, Tennessee and drove into the historic downtown area…read more We found street parking that made it easy to walk and explore. From our parking spot, we spotted Tennessee Hills Distillery and knew we needed to check it out. The Tennessee Hills Distillery opened in the historic Salt House of Jonesborough in 2016. We were immediately impressed with the downtown area of Jonesborough and the salt house in which Tennessee Hills Distillery is located. The building itself is amazing and is something that we would love to have as our own. We are drawn to historic commercial buildings that are being preserved and renovated to house businesses and/or homes. After walking inside, we were even more impressed. They were offering complimentary tastings and we decided to participate. We thought the pineapple upside down cake rum was delicious. They have a wide selection of liquor ranging from whiskey, flavored whiskey, rum, flavored rum, gin and vodka. They also have some nice SWAG for purchase and unique gift items. We purchased a bottle of their Pineapple Upside Down Cake Rum to give to our good friends. Overall, this was a great visit and we highly recommend to others.

Many thanks to Cody for allowing me to visit and pepper him with questions…read more Not a distillery with the glistening mashtuns & stills of big money startups, Howling Moon is pure lean startup. Moonshine prepared the old school way with business savvy. Says they sold their first batch and are growing based on demand. Main room has three pot stills with thumpers, they're working on a fourth still. HM is "proof" that with determination and know how, it's possible to make a go of it. Love the spirit - and the spirits! Good luck. PS wasn't sure what what a rating would mean. Mine is for hosting me at their digs.

Parking was easy (you can park on the grass) and the location is easy to find. Walked in and was immediately welcomed with a smile! I was offered some samples before buying what I truly wanted. The crowd was so friendly too, looks like I'm not the only one that comes independently. I was sampled the regular moonshine, peach, amaretto and the peanut butter. Holy crap! All of them were so delicious. Not too sweet, not too alcoholic-ly. It was the perfect amount to get you buzzed. I ended up going home with the original and peach... but man if I lived here, I would get all the flavors. I can't wait to share my mason jars with my boyfriend! I recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're going to come here alone. The staff makes you feel, so not alone. Their moonshine is a little bit on the pricey side, but it's a huge mason jar and the quality is top notch. They were so nice to even bag it up for me, get it prepared to bring it back home! I am definitely coming back here next time I'm in NC. * The staff here are also Star Wars lovers, it's a WIN WIN!

They taught us all about their products and we thoroughly enjoyed what we tasted. The winner for our group were the coffee-flavored moonshine, the amaretto flavored, and the peach.

Highly recommend stopping in if you can.
