Neeley Family Distillery, Sparta

A friend and I made a point to stop here and sure glad we did. We were travelling on motorcycles and on our way back to Canada so time and space for goodies were both short but we did manage to fit a bottle of the family tradition moonshine and two bottles of bourbon which I did indulge in upon getting home safely last night... fabulous juice! The owners were very welcoming and interesting to talk to. The backstory is incredible. And the attention to tradition and detail mean that these boys are producing award winning stuff in small quantities. We did visit Maker's Mark and Buffalo Trace but this was something totally different.... Neeley distillery is like analog vs corporate digital of the big operations. Highly recommended.

Great tastings, and very welcoming staff. A great stop on our trip! We bought some of the very delicious truffle cream moonshine!
