Southern Distilling Company

We stopped in for a tour, tasting, and cocktails on a Sunday afternoon and had a lovely experience! We wish we had found this location sooner and we can’t wait to visit again! The tour guide and bartender were informative and friendly. Our tour guide is a history teacher and shared a wealth of knowledge about whiskey in NC that we really enjoyed hearing! We’re big whiskey drinkers and we went home with a few bottles. We really enjoyed the double rye and we felt that the bourbon cream was out of this world! I think any non-bourbon drinker would still enjoy the informative tour and the bourbon cream- it would be amazing in an espresso martini or even straight as a dessert cocktail. The tasting room has such fun decor and don’t miss the cute donkeys at the entrance!

Very nice in depth tour. Large variety of whiskey, enjoyed all of whiskies that we tasted!

What a wonderful place to enjoy an afternoon. Great, informative tour by a friendly guide. Fun Tasting after the tour. Nice to see small local business offering this niche. Beautiful grounds and buildings. And, I got a Christmas present taken care of. Definitely go if you are into this.

All the staff was just wonderful. The tasting was more than ample. Bring your own carbs, though, because all they have are chips. I suggested having packs of hawaiian rolls on hand for after the tasting. Hahaha! My fave was the Bourbon cream. Preferred over Bailey's.

We made a brief stopover here and had a great tasting with Mel! We wish we could have stayed longer to hear more about the distillery. Mel was clearly very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the product, and we left with 2 bottles to enjoy later. Would definitely return!
