I recently visited the distillery and took the tasting tour. The tour was informative and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We sampled a variety of moonshines, and I was impressed with the quality of the products. My favorites were the cinnamon roll and the banana.
In addition to the tasting room, the distillery also has a gift shop where you can purchase moonshine, as well as other souvenirs. There is also a small outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your moonshine and take in the views of the surrounding mountains.
Overall, I had a great experience at East Tennessee Distillery. The moonshine is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the setting is beautiful. I would definitely recommend this distillery to anyone who is interested in trying moonshine or learning more about the process of distilling.

We had such a great experience at East Tennessee Distillery! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed warmly and invited to sample any of the flavors we wanted. Gary was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole visit special. He even took us into the back to show us where the magic happens. My husband got to try the 150-proof straight from the IV!
Gary remembered where we were from and even wrote it on the wooden steps, such a fun and personal touch. We also got to chat with Wilbur, who shared some of the history of the distillery and the property. It was clear these guys love what they do and take pride in sharing it with others.
We ended up taking home the strawberry and peach flavors (both delicious!) but honestly, we enjoyed all the ones we tried. Prices were very reasonable, and the whole experience felt authentic and welcoming.
Weâre already looking forward to coming back the next time weâre in the area or maybe checking out their location in Pigeon Forge. Highly recommend stopping by if...

We also went back the next morning đ and purchased Apple Pie, Peach and a Ghost Pepper option for gifts!! Prices are very reasonable. The ladies that helped us were just the nicest people and very knowledgeable.

Fascinating. Oh and they also ship to a...
