    Nice walk in with casual ambiance. They have every kind of moonshine with taste testing. Was excellent service everything was good service was with a smile. Nice place

    10/18/24 FYI, cool

    Quality/Quantity - They got my daughter at "free," but because I drank too much at yesterday's tastings, I chose NOT to drink here. Yes, can you believe that...? Atmosphere - Decent size location, cool decor. Not sure where all my pictures went...? The bar is in the very center of the room. They had a wall of moonshine. Neat and organized. Open 7 days a week from 10am or 11am to 6pm or 8pm. Service - Good, I thought they would be more aggressive in selling...? They probably realized that my daughter is not and would not be their typical customer. Price - Free. Owner Comment - Congrats with your success and with your 4 locations.

    I'm not a huge moonshine guy but this place does have some tasty flavors. However my favorite thing is their rib eye marinade. You put this in a bag with your steak for 24 hours and mannnn! They also have some decent salad dressings as well. The workers are super cool and the tasting is always a blast with the jokes flowing as much as the moonshine.

    Wow, what a blast our visit to SC Moonshine was on a Thursday night. We were able to get in and join a lively group of folks, taste each of their flavors, and had such an entertaining bartender the was truly reminiscent of downtown Gatlinburg fun (iykyk)! We loved so many of them, but their new Watermelon is hands down the best - it's perfected balance of sweet and sour and while strong doesn't taste like alcohol at all. We really enjoyed the Strawberry Shortcake, Orange Cream, Coffee, Apple Pie, Butter Cake, and Salted Caramel. Surprisingly, I really loved the "Ass Kickin' Spicy Pickle Bloody Mary," but the "Habanero Bloody Mary from Hell" not so much, but can imagine habanero lovers would. All in all, a fantastic experience!

    This was a fun little shop in the mall. Couldn't believe I was sampling moonshine at 11am!!! The staff were friendly and fun and let us try all the flavors. Definitely recommend and suggest purchasing their moonshine for fun souvenirs to take back home!

    Such and a neat shop to try some unique Moonshine! My fiancé and I specifically made plans to go to Opry Mills and visit the Smith Creek Moonshine on our trip to Tennessee because it was so much fun our first visit there. We went at a slow point during the day and were the only two at the tasting bar, but the guy pouring us samples was super informative and entertaining despite his small audience. Though he said the Salted Caramel was the most popular flavor, I liked the Buttercake a little more and my fiancé absolutely loved the Orange Crème. The Moonshine was sweeter than anticipated, but it was fun to try a lot of the 13 flavors. There were associates roaming the store to answer questions, make recommendations, and help you find what you're looking for without being pushy for sales. It was a super chill environment with so much to look at and a whole bunch of cool products to buy outside of the Moonshine itself. On our first visit a few years ago we'd purchased a couple of candles, and this time we left with a jar of their Pineapple Salsa. Though we have not yet tasted the Salsa, we can definitely recommend the candles for both their awesome smells and longevity. It sucks that we have to travel out of state to visit because this shop is the coolest. Smith Creek Moonshine is a MUST if you're in Tennessee!

    My friends and I came into town for a girls' trip. We came in for a moonshine tasting and were really excited. Dave was working the tasting bar and could not have been ruder. When we walked up he let us know he was tired and would not be using the mic. He then proceeded to be extremely rude. He told us to not waste his time and go to the wine tasting place nearby among other things. The ladies that had come in before us also complained, saying he was rude to them as well. They left without doing the tasting. We complained to the manager, who swapped Dave out with Sean, who was super nice and fun. Also have a chat with Papa Tim if you can. The manager was very nice and accommodating. I should add that Dave was rude to Sean and smirked at us when we left.

    We were walking around the mall, enjoying some air conditioning on a hot, humid day in the Nashville area and came across this shop. Free tastings of various flavors of moonshine were offered. You had to get your id out and leave it in the bar throughout the tasting. It was ongoing, with people joining and leaving as their schedule allowed. The gal serving us was fun and informative and some of the flavors were amazing! My favorites were salted caramel and peach, but there were several other yummy ones. A fun little event during our mall trip.

    We popped into Smith Creek to check out the moonshine. We had no idea we could do a tasting. But as soon as we found out, we were in! The guy leading our tasting was full of personality and energy. He really knew his stuff when it came to moonshine. And as it turns out, he was originally from Indiana! We got to try 13 (I think) flavors, including the Bloody Mary. Any time you don't want a flavor, you cover up your cup, and you get skipped. All the flavors were really good. Even the straight Moonshine and Vodka weren't harsh like I was expecting. But my favorite flavor was the Salted Caramel. So delicious! Now, every time we visit Nashville, we make it a point to do this Moonshine Tasting!

    Fun little place to visit and sample in Opry Mills Mall. Many flavors to choose from and you can try before you buy! If you like southern Sweet Tea you gotta try their Sweet Tea shine. It's so good! The bloody mart mix is great too -- full of flavor with a spicy kick.

    Sam S.

    Wow! Moonshine tasting in a mall?! And it's free?! The man leading the tasting was friendly and a generous pourer of samples. There were so many interesting flavors. If I weren't about to fly home wit just a carry-on, I probably would have bought some. This was a pleasant surprise and made the mall much more fun. I left a nice tip; definitely would recommend.

    Can not go wrong with free moonshine tastings. I opted to try them all and all were very good. I think my fave would be the salted caramel which is their top seller.

    We had a really good time here. It was crazy crowded and really warm in the store, but we enjoyed the experience. They offer a free tasting of all moonshine flavors. Tipping is encouraged, but not required. My fiancé came home with the straight moonshine and the bloody mary mix. I also purchased the bloody mary mix as well as the cinnamon flavored moonshine (10 times better than fireball). I got one of the pouring spout tops to go on my Mason jar, but the thing has done nothing except leak. I wasted a good bit of the alcohol on it spilling into my bag during transit. Definitely not worth the $6. I would also like to point out that the bloody mary mix they sell and really push for you to buy can also be purchased on Amazon much cheaper. I thought the mix was affiliated with the moonshine, but that is not the case. However, it is hands down THE BEST bloody mary mix I have ever tried. I even caught myself putting it in some tomato soup and then in my rotel dip for a friend's party.

There are so many good ones on the menu that fit any type of pallet, that it took me so long to decide. I got a modified old fashioned and then there was a martini-like drink that I tried. Both really packed a punch, luckily we were walking to our next destination. In the store they seemed to have a flash-sale going on for one of the bourbons. It was normally around $75 or something and I got it for $45. I am sure that's not normal but it really made the selection even better, because the wall of whiskey/bourbon is also really tough to choose what you want!

Meanwhile, the other members of my group, all around the same age and carrying valid IDs, were able to order drinks without issue. As an Asian customer, I left this establishment believing I was racially profiled. I was singled out, denied service despite presenting valid identification, and never given a legitimate explanation for why my ID was supposedly unacceptable. Since the incident, I have found multiple reviews from other customers of color describing experiences that raised similar concerns about profiling and disparate treatment. The entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and unacceptable. There are plenty of businesses in Nashville that can verify IDs without treating customers this way.
