Fine Appalachian Craft Spirits
Fine Distilled Spirits
It’s a family tradition.
With American family roots dating back to 1630, we have a long tradition of distilling in our blood.
The Bullock Distillery was organized in 2017 by Dusta Tanner, John Bullock and Tighe Bullock when the trio remodeled the historic building at 121 Washington Street, West, Charleston, West Virginia.
Dusta and the Tanner family have a long history of making moonshine in Roane County, West Virginia.
The Bullock family has produced spirits in Robeson County, North Carolina since before the American Revolution.
Both families are proud of their distilling traditions.

Our Special Ingredient?
Water.
Where does The Bullock Distillery draw its water from?
Bullock’s Cave, Falling Spring Mountain, Greenbrier County, West Virginia!
Falling Spring Mountain is truly a geologic phenomena, acting as a buffer zone for the hydrologic gradient of the Karst water system of the Greenbrier Valley. Our system in Greenbrier Valley drains deep groundwater from the base of Droop Mountain and Falling Spring Mountain.
Unlike other distilleries, The Bullock Distillery does not use reverse osmosis or carbon filtration to treat our water.
Why? Because our limestone water lacks the heavy elements present in the water of most distilleries. And it strips the natural sweet flavors of pure Karst limestone water!
Bacteria and viruses are taken care of during the fermentation and distillation processes. This ensures that only the mountain’s natural limestone filtration system touches our water.

HERE COMES THE REAPER - Lords of the Highway
Bright, spicy, and built for summer. Rye, pineapple, lime, jalapeño, and ginger beer come together for something tropical up front with a slow burn on the finish.
DEAR LEADER - MethMatics
Dark, smoky, and a little dangerous. Bourbon, honey black pepper syrup, lemon, and black walnut bitters make this one rich and bold with just enough bite.
’88 MUSTANG - The Cowslingers
A little sweet, a little tart, and plenty of attitude. Moonshine, blueberry, lemon, and mint make this one bright, juicy, and dangerously easy to drink. ... See MoreSee Less

seven feels like growing up in Appalachia. 🌿✨
Running barefoot through the yard, climbing the same tree every summer, catching lightning bugs after dinner, and staying outside until someone calls you home.
Honey, fresh herbs, and bright citrus make this cocktail taste like those last warm days of summer before school starts again. Simple, fresh, and full of the kind of memories that never really leave you.

Sometimes the night has other plans. 🥃
You stop in for just one.
Then it’s …maybe two.
And before you know it, okay, three.
We’re not here to judge. We’re just here to make the cocktails. 😉
Come spend a Tuesday with us in Elk City.

We’ve turned the page on another month, which means that another cocktail is right around the corner.
This month’s cocktail menu for the class is Taylor Swift themed, one of our cocktail guru Royce’s favorite artists. All three of the cocktails are named after a different song from the same album that the song August is off of, Folklore. The class itself is $50 a person and includes a tour of our production facility and free hors d’oeuvres in addition to the three custom cocktails that you’ll be mixing up yourself.
The class will be both magical and musical, so make sure to grab your ticket now while they are still available: square.link/u/HxSi1Jku

It’s time to get weird. We are back with another Trial Tuesday! 🧪
Royce is behind the bar and ready to mix things up. There might be new simple syrups, new bitter combos, or even shaking a bourbon without citrus; anything is on the table on Trial Tuesday. Come by and try whatever new fangled creation Royce has come up with for just $9! Any feedback is much appreciated and you could be influencing a future cocktail menu or cocktail class.
You never know what she might cook up, so make sure to come by and try a trial cocktail. It might just be the next best cocktail to hit Charleston!
