Southern Distilling Company

We made a quick stop at this place and had a fantastic tasting experience with Mel! We really wished we could have stayed longer to learn more about the distillery. Mel was obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about the products, and we left with two bottles to enjoy later. We would definitely come back!

I had a wonderful time at this location. Although we didn't take the tour, we enjoyed sampling various bourbons and whiskeys. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

The staff was truly amazing. The tasting portion was generous. Just a heads up, you might want to bring your own bread, as the only option they provide is chips. I jokingly suggested they keep some Hawaiian rolls available for after the tasting! My favorite was definitely the Bourbon cream – I actually liked it better than Bailey's.

We visited for a tour, tasting, and cocktails on a Sunday afternoon and had a wonderful experience! We wish we had discovered this place sooner and can’t wait to return! Both our tour guide and bartender were knowledgeable and welcoming. Our guide, a history teacher, shared a wealth of information about whiskey in North Carolina that we found fascinating! As avid whiskey enthusiasts, we left with a few bottles. We particularly enjoyed the double rye, and the bourbon cream was absolutely exceptional! Even those who aren’t bourbon fans would likely appreciate the informative tour and the bourbon cream, which would make a fantastic addition to an espresso martini or could be enjoyed straight as a dessert cocktail. The tasting room has delightful decor, and be sure to check out the adorable donkeys at the entrance!

I had a fantastic in-depth tour. There was a wide selection of whiskeys, and I thoroughly enjoyed all the ones we tasted!
