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.

I know some of you have been waiting for it. We finally got a new T-shirt and hat order to replenish some of our apparel stock, but we also have a surprise for you!
Along with our Bullock logo and Bullock Cave shirts, we are premiering a brand new t-shirt design! In honor of one of our signature cocktails and the woman behind the incredible story, we now have Delia May’s Revenge shirts in sizes Small to 3XL.
Delia May was the wife of Gespard Leblanc, the great-great-grandfather of our owners, and the namesake of our Leblanc Vodka. The story goes that Delia didn’t like that her husband made distilled spirits in their basement and one day threw an actual cherry bomb down the steps to stop it! Windows got blown out, the still was busted, and no more distilling happened in that basement after that.
We liked the story so much that we made a smoky cherry vodka cocktail to commemorate it, and now you can wear this shirt to rep this tasty drink and the story behind it. Come in and get yours today, or visit our online store: bullockdistillery.square.site/s/shop

A new cocktail has resurfaced from the depths. Royce has revived one of our cocktails from the archives! 😳
A long lost cocktail, the Southside Dill has returned to our cocktail menu. This unique gin cocktail pairs our Jupiter Gin with a housemade honey simple syrup and lemon juice to create a wonderfullly drinkable gin sour. But wait… it’s called the Southside Dill, right? Yes! On top of a more typical gin sour, we add a sprig of fresh dill, 2 dashes of housemade mint bitters, and 3 dashes of housemade Smoked Salt and Sorghum bitters to add a subtle depth and complexity that will keep you coming back for more again and again.
Come and try this forgotten cocktail while it’s available, for we can only keep it revived for so long. 🍸

We had some pretty fun visitors in the shop recently! 🥃🎙️
Charles Bockway and Erin McCoy from WV Beer Roads stopped by to hang out, drink a few cocktails, and chat with Royce about all things Bullock! She covers everything from running sales at a small WV distillery to the creativity that goes into our tasting room cocktail program.
The result is Episode 113 of WV Beer Roads, along with a lovely write-up from Brilliant Stream about what we’ve been building behind the bar here in Elk City. We might be a little biased, but we especially enjoyed the part where they called our cocktails some of the “very best and most creative cocktails in the city.” 🥹
Cheers to Charles and Erin for spending time with us, sampling some of Royce’s creations, and giving our little corner of Charleston some love. 🖤
Give the episode a listen, read the article, and then pop in to see us for Happy Hour to decide for yourself.
Read “Bullock cocktails anyone?” + listen to Episode 113
