New cream wines
Dawn F.

Love this location. Spacious and large selection. The cost of the tasting comes off of any purchases made. Check Groupon because they also run specials. The coconut rum is a favorite of ours.

Such a good first Moonshine experience! Bubba was the best. He knows the ins and outs of every drink, caters to what we liked and didn't like in our tasting, and was all around just funny and personable. Would definitely definitely recommend coming on your trip!

Key lime shine is amazing Butter pecan is very nice Butter scotch is very nice S'mores whiskey is goood Smoking hot honey is interesting as hell Machismo cherry is delicious( kinda hard to f&&& that up tho, right?) Beats cotton candy flavored wines that they sell around this place. All flavored wines. Or at least most of them were grossly synthetic tasting syrupy even in slushy form and costs like 25$?!!! These moonshines costs like that too 27$ ish. I dont really like moonshines, i am a wine person and occasional beer and cocktail person-but the taste tasting guy was so likable and the whole experience was fun we bought six to share between four family members. It was cool experience for us. (Had a brief fun without kids) The checkout person "hey honey" me but overall so fun.

This is a must stop! The moonshine tasting was an awesome experience. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did! The bartender was amazing and mixed up the most delicious flavors for our tastings. It's almost like a show! He mixed two different moonshines in almost every tasting. A cream and a regular usually. But then there were even more special tastings like a moonshine Bloody Mary with pickle juice. So good! We got a six pack of samples to bring home and I can't wait to try even more combinations. Great porch out front with rocking chairs too.

Nice that the tastes are free. 6 tasters and you get to pick what you want out of many flavors. I'm I diehard corn guy, so I stuck to the 100 and 135 proofs, the vodka and the bourbons.. All are very decent, very drinkable straight of would be excellent with a mixer.. Like someone mentioned, better than the touristy places in Gatlinburg... also have a moonshine wine place connected..

All I have to say is wow !!! We stopped here on our way home from our Road Trip. The people that work there are so nice and were so helpful the entire time that I was there. They asked if I had questions and asked if I needed help several times. When you walk in the place smells so amazing and Adam out of variety that they have will blow your mind away. You can go broke here definitely! I read some of the reviews about people stating that the staff was rude but when I was there yesterday I have to say people just go in there to sample without purchasing anything. I was in there for a good 30 minutes and they probably had a good amount of people just coming in trying out whiskey, or wine. As a business owner it does get frustrating when people come in and take advantage of promotions. I definitely recommend this place as a pitstop on your road trip or visit to Tennessee!

One of the best experiences of our trip was stopping in here. Make sure you see Bubba and have him mix up some delicious concoctions. We had such a good time we brought a case of shine back to our house and proceeded to have more fun! Make sure you respect the shine!

Bubba was also one of the friendliest and funniest bartenders we've ever met and made the whole experience a blast.

She said no but she never checked. I saw two carry out trays sitting on top of the shelf where the kitchen staff places the food orders. Finally I walked over and had someone checked if that was my food and it was. It had been sitting there for ten minutes. I told the woman that was supposed to have checked if it was ready and her reply was "OH WELL" I had written a tip for 20% so walked over to my check and lowered it to 1%. It is a shame that they employ people with such attitudes.

It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

Lance was our tastemaker/ bartender and our tasting was curated as part of a tour. We tasted about 12 different moonshines including some not on the list: Watermelon, Spicy Pickle and Habenero Bloody Mary... not something I liked. Bloody Mary's are very spicy. Lance was knowledgeable about the moonshines being sampled, offering insights into its flavors and made sure we understood you don't have to drink full pour and he'd provide a new sipping cup. Most lived upto flavor, very potent in alcohol content as Lance explained with each sample. Logan gathered our order together and because of a coupon we got a feee shot glass. We ended up purchasing 3 with one free: Salted Caramel Moonshine, Coffee Moonshine, Lemon Lime Moonshine and Sweet Tea Moonshine. I'm sure you'll find your own favorites

We liked so many flavors and after much deliberation decided to purchase the apple pie, strawberry shortcake, and 2 orange creme. The bottles are $29.99 each and they had a buy 3 get 1 free deal going on. An employee stood ready to package the bottles and carry them to the counter. I greatly appreciated this as then I did not have to hold them when perusing the rest of the shop. In addition to moonshine they sell T-shirts, pour spouts, candles, and more. We visited Tanger on a Saturday morning over a holiday weekend. Parking was rough but understandable. Eventually we found a spot, but it took longer to leave Tanger than it did to park. Overall, we had a fun experience here and recommend this shop to others!

This is the place…read moreto get the hard stuff that also tastes like an oatmeal cookie or watermelon taffy or a pumpkin roll. When you want to get drunk, but you also need your drink to look electric blue and taste like raspberry, you come here. I'm not the biggest fan of sweet drinks in general, and especially not sweet alcohol. But I wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to taste some of Old Forge Distillery's moonshine and gin. They also make vodka, whiskey and rum. The gin was good! It doesn't taste like traditional gin, because they age it in bourbon barrels, so it has a little bit of a caramel taste to it. (In my opinion.) The moonshine and the cream liqueurs are where you will find the crazy flavors. I think my favorite was the coffee moonshine, which tastes like a wonderfully spiked black coffee. Samples are plentiful. The bartender told us which ones were crowd favorites, and also recommended some that I would not have picked myself. They also have a huge gift shop with lots of tchotchkes, plus bottles of their goods to take home with you.
