The King’s Family Distillery was an awesome stop on our trip thru the Smokies. Jessica was an amazing host and was very welcoming the minute we walked in. She got a quick rush of customers but still remained attentive to our party. The bourbon and whiskey were so good we left with 6 bottles! Definitely stop in.

Stopped in yesterday after someone told me about this little hidden distillery. We made or way up to the bar where JJ greeted us and asked if we wanted samples. Well if someone is so nice to offer you have to say yes. Looked over their selection and picked out a few. I will not go into all the ones I tried , but have to mention the Ice Wine Ryeconic was hands down amazing. I would put this up there with some of the best Ryes I have had. Well I had to pick up a bottle. We had a great time as JJ as our bartender and you need to try out there selections.

This is the best distillery in Pigeon Forge. Their bourbon and rye has some nice age on it and the blending they are doing makes me happy. I visit every time I am in the area.
