King’s Family Distillery: Handcrafted Spirits & Premium Vodka in Pigeon Forge

Hey y’all! We’re thrilled to share the story of King’s Family Distillery, a true gem nestled in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. Founded by Justin King, a self-proclaimed Appalachian American with a passion for spirits, the distillery’s journey is as captivating as the Tennessee whiskey and handcrafted spirits they produce.

Justin’s whiskey-making days began with a hint of mischief, but his undeniable talent soon caught the attention of industry insiders. With a dream in his heart, he honed his skills and, alongside his wife Cara, opened King’s Family Distillery in 2018.

Their mission? To create handcrafted spirits for both locals and visitors to enjoy. Today, the distillery boasts an array of award-winning spirits in Tennessee, including premium vodka, whiskeys, and liqueurs.

The secret to their success lies in Justin and Cara’s unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. Moreover, this dedication shines through in the personal touch they bring to every aspect of the process. From carefully selecting top-notch ingredients to meticulously preparing each batch, they ensure the perfect flavor and finish every time.

What truly sets King’s Family Distillery in Pigeon Forge apart is its unique, handcrafted approach, which consistently yields memorable blends like the famous Ryeconic Cherry Brandy Cask Finish. Additionally, this artisanal touch serves as a testament to the passion and love Justin and Cara have for the Great Smoky Mountains. As a result, they ensure that the distillery’s legacy lives on with each bottle they produce.
