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.

Consider this your permission slip to have absolutely no plans today. 🍂🥃
Grab a spot in the lounge, order something good and stay awhile. We’ve got fall cocktails behind the bar, bourbon ready to pour, spirit flights if you can’t make up your mind, and a cozy little corner of the Elk City Historic District waiting for you.
Bring yourself, a friend, maybe bring the whole crew. Or bring a book and come hide from everybody for a couple hours. We support that too.
It’s Saturday. Get cozy with us. 🖤

We’ve been hard at work in the back of house and recently bottled our newest barrel of Piney Creek Bourbon! 🌲
If you haven’t tried this wonderful bourbon before, it is one of two spirits in our Clear Water Series along with the Moonrocks Rye. These two bottles are produced in partnership with the West Virginia Land Trust and proceeds from the sale of each bottle go towards maintaining nature trails connected to Piney Creek in Greenbrier County and the Moonrocks trails in the Canaan Valley, respectively. Our newest batch is a single barrel 6 year bourbon that’s everything you love about West Virginia.
Once you get into the bottle you’ll find that this expression is where the 21% Rye in our bourbon mashbill sings. Scents of cherry, anise, and dusty peanuts lead into a sip that hits with caramel and pine into a wonderful peppery finish. It’s a bourbon that, while not on purpose, perfectly suits the Piney Creek moniker.
Come get your bottle today and enjoy a sip before this one of a kind single barrel release is gone and we have to bottle the next one. 🥃

The October cocktail class is coming up, and we’re going a little darker this month. 🍂🌙
Think apple cider and cinnamon. Pumpkin beer and rye. Cold brew, brown sugar, toasted almond, and plenty of smoke.
Our October Cocktail Class is happening Thursday, October 15, and we’ve put together three cocktails that feel like October in West Virginia - moody, cozy, a little spooky, and exactly what we want to be drinking when the sun starts setting a little earlier.
We’ll be dropping the full menu soon. 👀
📅 Thursday, October 15, 2026
📍 The Bullock Distillery | 121 Charleston, WV

Y’all really thought we were going to host something called History on the Rocks and NOT make a cocktail for it? 🚂
Meet The Whistle Stop. It’s our special pour for the very first History on the Rocks, a Mint Julep-inspired highball with bourbon, mint, black walnut, and soda. It’s cool, refreshing, and just a little Appalachian.
And for our friends skipping the bourbon, we made y’all something too! Meet The Local. It’s got apple, mint, lemon, and soda for a refreshing sip that’s zero-proof, but still absolutely delicious.🚃
We’ll be pouring both of these splendid drinks on September 30 when Dr. Ben Kletzer joins us for Whistle Stops & West Virginia History, the first installment of our new History on the Rocks lecture series with the Marshall University History Department.
History at 6:30. Drinks whenever you get here. 🥃

Tuesday means we’re back to our favorite kind of research. 🧪🥃
Trial Tuesday is your chance to try whatever Roycs has been concocting behind the bar for just $9. Some make the menu. Some need a little work. Some are sent right back to the drawing board. And you can help us decide. Come in and try a Trial Cocktail and tell us what you think. Be brutally honest, we can take it. Probably.
Come see what we’re trialing today. 🍸

OktoberWest is almost here, y’all. 🍻🥃
One of our favorite Elk City weekends is right around the corner, and, naturally, we’re getting behind the bar and making something special for it.
We’ve been playing around with local beer, Bullock spirits, and a few ideas that started with, “Okay, but what if we made a syrup out of it?” 👀
More on that soon.
For now, mark your calendar for October 3rd, make your OktoberWest plans, and plan on stopping in to see us while you’re making your way through the Elk City Historic District.
