Thanks to everyone who came by & allowed us to demonstrate our passion for Tennessee Whiskey ( especially those who reviewed us ) ! Our goal is to make your time here as fun and educational as possible. That means you've got to taste a LOT of our efforts.

I visited TennSouth a week ago and I must say that I was very intrigued with the knowledge and passion this small organization has towards it's amazing products. They are creating "shine", Gin, Tennessee Whiskey and Vodka that will ensure you understand the real meaning of excellent. The tour was very in-depth and even with a few late joiners, the staff ensured they would be brought up to par to ensure they didn't miss anything as far as the process is concerned. The big names allow you to sample one or two products where TennSouth urges you to try everything, so with that being said, their pride and confidence is superb and you will not be disappointed when you turn off the interstate and begin your journey into the beautiful Tennessee landscape where you will find the real deal.Thanks Clay and Doug for the hospitality and I will return soon!

Great place to visit and see the distillery process, proprietor Clay made us feel right at home, the moonshine, gin, and vodka was smooth and refined. Their whiskey will be available in mid October, can't wait to revisit and taste it. Don't worry about visiting the big boy distillers, visit Tenn South to get close and personal.

Wonderful tour of a great distillery. Overall I found it much better than what one gets at "the big boys". Doug was the most gracious host for the tour and was very knowledgeable about the entire operation. If you want to learn how products are made he is certainly someone who can explain it. He was also very helpful in discussing many aspects of the distilling business in Tennessee. Very nice folks in the tasting room as well. Very friendly environment and the best tour I've had. Hard to leave without more bottles so I guess I have to go back. Were I to start a distillery business this place is just about exactly what I would like to have.

Late March my nephew with his Girlfriend visited us from Switzerland. On his last day in Tennessee we decided to show them the rural parts of our beautiful State and connect it with a tour at Tenn South Distillery. What a nice surprise! We were welcomed by the owner Clayton Cutler and got a great tour. Tenn South is definitely worth a drive to southern Tennessee!

Fantastic tour by Clay Cutler. Had a great time learning about the process of moonshining. The tasting was great as well. My first time to taste MoonShine, was nice to have different flavors. Although, I must admit the Gin was my favorite. Will definately go back for more visits. Karen SSpring Hill, Tn

Great tour, hand-crafted MoonShine in several flavors....The whiskey is in the making, samples of Blackberry Shine, Apple Pie Shine, straight ole shine, Black Mule Vodka and Apathecary Gin.

Had a great time touring the facility. It was nice to get the tour from someone who's in the business, not just a "tour guide" and had a love for what they do. Of course the shines and vodka were awesome to try samples of. Will definitely be going back...

If you've toured a big distillery, this is different. Those tours are well-oiled machines designed for the masses, and given by a professional tour guide who doesn't necessarily work in the production process.Tours of Tenn South distillery are often given by the chief distiller who will take time to answer whatever questions you have. He can answer your questions based on deep technical experience, yet in an approachable way that anyone can understand.Samples of the product are available and you can also purchase it on site. It is located in a beautiful rural setting.

Went to TennSouth the afternoon of the morning we went to Jack Daniels/Lynchburg. Of course the scale or the history is not there, but the personal attention and education of the tour was really great. Not to mention the fine flavored Shines and some killer Vodka we sampled and brought home at a very reasonable price. I can't wait for the Clayton-James Whiskey release! The drive thru the Tennessee countryside in the spring and the stroll through the quaint Lynnville shops just punctuated the day. Will probably make this a perennial trek....

Set amidst classic rural Tennessee landscape, this distillery makes for a great stop! Enjoy the tour as you learn about the process from the well-informed chief distiller, who displays a real passion for his craft. Samples of the TennSouth products are part of the tour, and you will love these local flavors! Definitely worth a visit!

Located in a beautiful area of middle Tennessee, the drive alone is a great experience. The distillery itself is fantastic, beautiful copper and glass and well maintained, looks very classic and polished. I enjoyed the tour and the tasting. I keep a couple of bottles of their Black Mule vodka on hand, looking forward to future visits and tasting their latest!

Beautiful countryside on the drive down. The tour was awesome! The chief distiller took his time leading us through the back where they make everything and I got a lot of education! Best was afterwards we were treated to a sample taste of everything they make AND it's good stuff. The little historic town of Lynnville is also really a wonderful step back in time. I'll go again next time out of town friends come for a visit. Thanks!

We recently stopped by when passing through the area. The distillery is located just a few minutes off 65 and very easy to get to. Unfortunately, they weren't distilling the day we were there, but Clay gave us an excellent tour and allowed us to sample all of their products, which were fantastic. It's good to see a small company using local ingredients to produce a quality product that is made in the USA. Looking forward to the release of their Clayton James Tennessee Whiskey - we will be back.

Thank you ! That's exactly what I'd hoped you say, I think...
