We had a great time on the tour. Frankie was our host and was just super! Our day started at Pennington Distillery. We got there an hour early and had a great time hanging out with the distillery staff while we waited. Our second stop was at a brewery right next to the distillery. Our last stop was the Ole Smokey distillery/Yee Haw brewery. Our tour group was friendly and alot of fun. We got to sample alot of spirits/beer and learned a little bit along the way. Highly recommend the tour!
