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.

Your October plans should probably include drinking a smoked cold brew cocktail with us. Just saying. 🥃
Our October Cocktail Class is happening on Thursday, October 15 at 6:00 PM and here is our cocktail lineup:
🍎 The Hollow — Jupiter Gin, apple cider & cinnamon
🎃 PumpKing Mule — MoonRocks Rye, pumpkin beer & ginger beer
🌙 Midnight on Kanawha — Piney Creek, cold brew, brown sugar vanilla & toasted almond
We’ll shake, stir, smoke, and probably make a little bit of a mess along the way. Plus, you’ll leave knowing how to make all three of these delicious fall cocktails yourself, which feels like useful information heading into the rest of October. 😉
Come spend a moody fall evening with us in the Elk City Historic District. 🍂

Thank you to everyone who came out for making OktoberWest 2026 a huge success! 🥳
It’s one of our favorite events every year, and we had a blast with y’all on Saturday drinking some great beer and whipping up some terrific beer-inspired cocktails, too. But the fun doesn’t have to stop just because OktoberWest is over.
Luckily for you, we still have some of the beer simple syrup we used to make our OktoberWest cocktails left over. If you weren’t able to make it over to Elk City on Saturday, or you did and you just want one of those delicious cocktails again, you can still come snag one at the distillery to keep the OktoberWest spirit going! 🍂🥃
Hurry on down because this is a limited-time offer, as we won’t have these syrups for much longer.
Let's keep OktoberWest going as long as we can! Prost! 🍻

Our favorite time of year has officially arrived. 🍂
The leaves are changing, the evenings are getting darker, and the breeze is getting brisker. It’s time for sweater weather, spooky movies, and the Appalachian mountains showing off. And a cocktail menu full of apple, maple, fig, cinnamon, and all the other things we’ve been impatiently drinking since August.
Hello, October. 🥃
Come have a sip with us and bask in it.

🍂 OCTOBER COCKTAIL CLASS MENU DROP 🍂
Okay, this might be one of my favorite class menus we’ve put together.
We wanted the October class to feel like October in West Virginia. It’s full of apple cider, pumpkin beer, baking spices, cold brew, a little smoke, and cocktails that get progressively darker and moodier as we go. Basically, if Appalachian fall was a cocktail class, this would be it.
Here’s what we’re making:
🍎 The Hollow
White Dog Moonshine • Cinnamon Moonshine • Apple Cider • Lemon • Cinnamon
🎃 PumpKing Mule
Moon Rocks Rye Whiskey • House-Made Pumpkin Beer Syrup • Lime • Ginger Beer
🌙 Midnight on Kanawha
Piney Creek • Brown Sugar Vanilla • Cold Brew • Toasted Almond Bitters • Orleans Bitters • Smoke
Join us Thursday, October 15 and we’ll make all three from start to finish, talk through why they work, and show you the techniques you can steal for your own cocktails at home.
Come drink something moody with us. 🍂🥃
