Wow! This is a ‘must see’ if you are in the area. We stopped in because we passed it on the way to our BnB but had missed the tour, so we did a tasting flight and signed up for the tour the next day. Doug, the master distiller, gave a fantastic, in depth, science based tour that we both thoroughly enjoyed. We do wineries all of the time, and sometimes breweries, and had recently toured several distilleries in Scotland. I can honestly say I learned as much today as I learned at the others combined. And their products are so good. I rarely drink anything but wine, however the Moonrise vodka is so smooth and flavorful, that I would call it ‘sipping’ vodka. I also had never met a Bloody Mary that I wanted to drink until today. Based on the prior day’s tasting, I had already planned on purchasing two bottles, but ended up buying six (including one of the Bloody Mary). Am pleased to know that we live in a state to which they can direct ship! PS- the ice cream is also delicious!

I’ve had the chance to travel to several distilleries, wineries, and breweries in my travel across the entire country. This place by far is the best and I would put their spirits up against any of the big names in the industry. Their staff 100% are what make this operation what it is. Typically when you do a tour or a tasting the staff follows a script or an act to push product or further their brand. Not this location! When me and my wife walked in it was like we had walked into an old friends house for a few drinks we had fantastic conversations with the two staff members present, Tim and Mellissa we talked shop, talked favorites, and it’s clear that these two people over their job and have an unmatched passion that can’t be faked. My only regret is that I didn’t have more time to hang out. This location felt like being at my home bar and was a cozy intimate experience unlike any other tasting I’ve ever been too. If you are within 100 miles of this location I would highly recommend the detour 7 days a week 365 days a year.

Beautiful place and drinks were good. Very pricey though. You would hope the alcohol they made on-site would be cheaper but it was actually more expensive.

This distillery is a great place to stop in at but their “Spekeasy” is absolutely spectacular! The bourbons are very good and the drinks are amazing. A must to stop in on!

After visiting the Moonrise Distillery with my girlfriend last NYE, I stopped by with a couple buddies on our way through town a couple months back so they could get a taste of the incredible experience I first had. I ended up leaving with a bottle of Doug’s finest Georgia Manhattan rye whiskey and just recently cracked that bad boy open with a couple buddies this past weekend. Easily the best whiskey I’ve ever had. The guys both agreed they’ve never had anything like it. No mixer nor chaser required. Once it hits your lips, you’ll only want more sips. If you’re ever in Clayton, don’t skip out on enjoying a cocktail or two here before leaving town. You will not be disappointed. Doug and his wife will also help make you feel right at home whenever you choose to stop by. Thanks again Doug for making each experience a great one and providing such quality crafted cocktails for the community. You’ll certainly be seeing me again next time I’m in town.
