Absolutely loved this little distillery. The tasting was completely free. They offer many different flavors. There was not one that I think I did not like. I liked the moonshines being displayed in the front window of the shop for all the see. The smell of the moonshine being made filled the place and smelt amazing.
Love the atmosphere here. Every time we visit Gatlinburg, we stop here at least twice. Drinks are delicious and bartenders are very attentive. Great place to check out if you’re in the area.
Wow! This place was super nice inside! We really enjoyed our time here sampling and trying cocktails! We think this place had the best moonshine cherries of any of the distilleries in the area. We bought multiple jars as they was so good and unique. We loved stoping in here and relaxing while we waited to eat at the restaurant connected! Can’t wait to visit again definitely a must stop.
Visited here while in Pigeon Forge and had a phenomenal experience sampling 18 different flavors of moonshine! Unlike other places, they don't charge you for sampling. They work on tips. We sampled 8 different cream based moonshines that were all delicious. We then sampled 10 different flavors of regular moonshine. They were all good as well. They have over 30 varieties from 60 proof to 144 proof. We ended up buying six different ones. Definitely check them out! You won't be disappointed! Also, while there, eat at the Old Mill Cafe that's right across the street. The food is delicious!
We came to Tennessee on vacation this year and had the opportunity to visit the Old Forge Distillery. The wife enjoyed the free samples and ended up with the oatmeal pie moonshine. I picked up two bottles of the Cyclone Jim (one as a gift) and some other merchandise.
When we returned to our room I noticed that the moonshine wrapping was wet, I didn’t think much of it until I unwrapped it and noticed that the jar was cracked. I called and talked to the manager right away and I was told to come in the next day. In the morning I decided to inspect the other items we purchased, the Cyclone Jim comes in a gift box and I’m glad I checked it out before returning to the store because the one I purchased as a gift was cracked.
Heading back in the next day I was not very hopeful in how the OFD was going to handle our unique issue. Both bottles were still sealed and the bags and boxes were not damaged.
Needless to say the Old Forge Distillery was amazing, very professional and never once insinuated that we were at fault or careless to cause this issue. They replaced the broken items and I was happy to purchase more while I was back in the store!
If we return to Tennessee, the OFD will be one of our stops.
Special thanks to the staff that took care of us.
I did a free sample of the peanut butter cream liquor and I HAD to have a drink with it. So this is a Peanut Butter Cup drink made from their in house moonshine and liquor. Ben did a great job!
Had a great time at Old Forge Distillery with their moonshine tastings . also enjoyed an old fashioned cocktail at their bar . Hope to be back there soon .
Went in this afternoon to look around and it's a nice place. There are so many distilleries around now in this area. They have a large selection of spirits but are very expensive. The cheapest one they have is vodka. What they charge for a fifth of bourbon almost $60.00 with tax you could get a 12 year old bottle of scotch at a liquor store. I'm not saying their stuff is bad but it's priced for the tourist crowd. Me personally I'd rather get a 12 year old bottle of Jameson in Knoxville and still have enough left over for a philly cheese steak. That being said stop in and have a sample you will enjoy yourself. The staff is very nice.
Not a bad place with the flavored moonshine that is common in this area the tasting is done in thimble sized cups. Their tasting is free and you get 10 sames. The straight moonshine is 100 proof and they did have a 140 proof to sample. They had approximately 18 flavors all at 60 proof and all the ones I had were pretty good. I did not get to try their more aged Rum, Bourbon, or Rye whiskeys so can't say if they're any good. The only big drawback is due to the crowds you really don't get to ask them any questions about the distillery such as materials or what is used for the flavoring, etc.
