A must try when visiting Knoxville! We did a tour and tasting, and the owner was exceedingly kind and knowledgeable. By afar the best spirits tour and tasting we’ve done in Knoxville. Cannot recommend this experience enough!

An amazing tasting experience. We had a great time with Ron who was very knowledgeable and eager to share all there is about the spirits. The tasting was allencompassing and we found the variety of spirits very enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone in Knoxville to come and do a tasting/tour.

We happened upon this place after dinner one evening. My husband had the Whiskey Pour and I had the Yuligan's. It was very clean unique and refreshing!

I really want to love this place. I can't think of another local distillery I've been to that creates almost every classic liquor genre. The alpino and wormwood are particularly good and the fernet is very memorable. Not everything quite works of course, and the gins and whisky contain a fusel oil or other distillation byproduct I find noticeably distracting. But temper your expectations and treat the tasting room as a tasting room, or as a very experimental cocktail lounge. It's a great idea to have a distillery make every ingredient--it also allows you to get around the usual liquor laws. PM gives it a really good run, but there's no way to compete with a dedicated cocktail bar. But as a tasting room or experimental cocktail bar, it's magical. Some drinks are genuinely excellent--the Terry's martini is a winner--while others, like the gin fizz, are genuinely weird. Constructive suggestion: add a vermouth and bitter red aperitivo to the lineup for additional flexibility and take a smaller heads cut.

Great place to get flights is whisky. The bartenders are really nice and engaged. Love it here

$10 cocktails (low cost but high quality and thoughtful) and very friendly/knowledgeable staff. Not a lot of seating when it’s too cold for the patio.

This is a lovely downtown distillery where you can taste an abundance of different local spirits. There's an exceptional variety to choose from. What's brought me here to write this review, though, is to give a big shout out to the bartender Drew. She is a sweet and authentic woman that works super hard. Talking to her made my day, and I look forward to many more conversations with her. Her creativity with art and mixology is delightful to experience. If you check this place out, I hope you're lucky enough to have her make you a drink. Cheers!

Cocktails were good but rude server took the fun out of it.

One of my favorite cocktail bars in town. The staff treats you very well by being their genuine selves. If you have questions you get straight answers. The drinks are creative and damn good pours. They don’t skimp on the tasters either. Highly recommended all their products. The aperitifs and amaro, while loosely modeled on the ones you may know, are truly their own. Same with their gins.

I really loved this distillery. The prices were reasonable for the tastings and their whiskey, gin and mixers were very tasty and smooth. Felicia was a great bartender and was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Her recommendations were spot on and the New Old Fashioned was perfect. I will need to plan a vacation and bring my significant other there. He would really enjoy the experience. Highly recommend you stop in and see Felicia.
Fantastic drinks... Friendly staff! Caleb and Stan were great. The tour and tasting gets 3 thumbs up!

The owner and master distiller was awesome! He gave us a very informative tour and explanation of the process he uses. The staff was very friendly and provided great service. They had lots of great and unique flavors. The gin & tonic was probably the best we've ever had! I ended up getting a couple bottles. This place is super cool and worth a visit.

The atmosphere and cocktails here are fabulous. Small batch local spirits. Not a normally a gin fan, but they have some tasty drink recipes. Add in a fantastic and knowledgeable staff, especially Drew, and you have a definite go-to spot.

Boozy grapefruit slushy? YES. Just say yes. This cocktail bar distills their own booze right next door (you can be a creepster and peek in!). They sell bottles of varying sizes at the bar and also at other places around town, including Total Wine. We love that they offer sampler flights with different liquors and also different size pours. They give you a tray with a sheet that describes the flavor profile for each offering. We also were given slushy samples and a customized gin sample, mixed with another shot to sip. We ordered slushies to enjoy on the patio and a flight with Hi Rye Whiskey, Ginferous Gin (favorite!), Uproot Gin, and Barrel Rested Cacoa Liqueur. I can't believe the differing flavors they can produce within the same type of booze. Masterful! The bartenders are friendly and so dang knowledgable. We purchased a bottle of Ginferous Gin and have kept the party going at home. Can't wait to go back! What a cool spot.
