Moonrise Distillery

"I booked the tour because my boyfriend loves Bourbon. We learned so much on the tour and were able to appreciate the lessons in the tasting! I’m now a Bourbon believer- it will just have to come from Moonrise!!! Thank you, Doug, for giving us your time, knowledge, and expertise!"

"LOVE this spot! If you are in the Clayton area, this is a must-visit! The establishment is tucked up on a hill and is very lovely inside and out. They make all of their liquor on site and you can even take a private tour of the facility. There are two bars and a gift shop where you can taste before you buy. My personal favorite is the Snow Cream. It's like Bailey's Irish Cream (but 10 times better!). They have a wide range of fantastic cocktails and be sure to check out their new martini menu. Every Friday night they host Music Bingo with a DJ and it's a blast! I've been several times and have never been disappointed. The energy and vibe is fantastic and everyone has a great time. Just a tip: There are just a few food items available to purchase, so you may want to eat in advance or bring something with you to snack on. The owner keeps his two adorable dogs behind the bar and they have a ton of fun back there and occasionally interact with the guests. And don't forget to say hi to my favorite bartender in town, Teddy! She's the best and so is this spot! Be sure to check out my pics here and don't forget to visit the restrooms for some super unique decor!"

"This place is a hell of alot of fun! The drinks are amazing, the staff is engaging and welcoming, and it's a kind of place you could go with a group or on your own, and still feel perfectly at home. we will definitely be back!"

"We had a blast there. Jennifer was an amazing hostess. We tried their Bourbon Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Limoncello and Snow Cream. We left with a bottle of their Bloody Mary (premixed), two Bourbon Whiskey, Limoncello and Snow Cream. All were very good. I'm sure we'll be back for more, especially the Snow Cream."

"North Georgia destination at it's finest! The moment we walked in we were greeted by Jennifer and made us feel as comfortable as family. The tasting and tour with Doug was amazing he shared knowledge and his passion for making the best products using local sources. After the tasting we understood the differences in bourbon, but more importantly we tasted the difference, smooth is an understatement! The Snow Cream bourbon is simply one of the best drinks you will ever enjoy! Can't wait for our next visit! Sunday Funday was amazing with some great music, a real find for us!"
