![]() I arrived on a Thursday afternoon and had the place to myself. I was heading to Memphis when I decided to stop and check out the distillery. The Full Throttle Sloonshine Distillery is owned by Michael Ballard, also owner of Full Throttle Saloon and created the sleepy little town of Trimble Tennessee into a popular tourist attraction. If you've never been to Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis, SD, then this is the next best thing. ![]() ![]() They may have tasty moonshine but I'll personally never know and as a result of the attitude of the lone staff person I would certainly not make an effort to return. I may have dropped twenty or thirty bucks for a shirt. They may have sold me a jar or two of shine. No "I'll be right with you" or "Can I help you?" Nothing. There was never any acknowledgment of our presence by the young lady behind the counter. I find it necessary to point out that when we visited, there was no one, and I mean NO ONE else in the place but my wife, my daughter and son in law and myself. After waiting for about fifteen minutes at the tasting bar for the young lady who appeared to be the only employee in the place to attend to us, we left. Unfortunately that's the only review I can honestly give because we never sampled any of the moonshine. Upon entering, it's definitely a very nice but typical tourist distillery with hewn wood decor, rows of barrels and quart jars full of moonshine lining the walls and a large central tasting area. We visited the Full Throttle S'loonshine on 10/10/15 while visiting the Dyersburg area for the weekend.
