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.

Our 2026 release of the Tanner’s Select Single Barrel bourbon has hit the shelves, and hoo boy is it a good one. If you aren’t sure whether or not it’s worth it to make the trip down to the West Side to pick up a bottle, let me give you a little distillers preview of what you’ll find in the glass.
This pour overall is spice cake in a glass. The barrel spice jumps up and greets the nose with strong cinnamon, cloves, and brown sugar. Caramel and cherry come in underneath of that along with hints of orchard fruit and toasted peanuts. As you sip, vanilla and oak will start to present themselves as well.
The palate is just as spicy as the nose, with strong hints of cinnamon, allspice, and clove. There’s a sweetness that’s reminiscent of a dark, syrupy cocktail cherry in the mid palate, with background notes of malt, vanilla, and spicy rye. The rye shows up prominently in the finish alongside a tannic oak that transforms into a lingering flavor of cacao nibs and coffee grounds.
This is a beautiful dram of whiskey that you don’t want to miss out on, so make sure to visit The Bullock Distillery today to grab yourself a bottle before it’s all gone!

She has arrived! 🎉
The Fifth Annual Release of Tanner’s Select Single Barrel Bourbon is on our shelves and ready to be enjoyed! This bourbon honors our owner, Dusta Tanner, a proud West Virginian born and bred in Spencer, West Virginia. Her family has lived there for eight generations, going all the way back to the city’s founder, Samuel Tanner. The proud West Virginia heritage of the Tanner family is in every dram poured of Tanner’s Select Single Barrel.
Dusta’s sister, our Sales Manager and cocktail guru, Royce Tanner, hand-selected the barrel for this special release bourbon. Royce’s impeccable palate found just the right blend of barrel spice and oaky goodness to whet your whistle and warm you right up.
Each bottle is personally signed by a Tanner and sells for $75 a bottle before tax. We’re selling this limited-time release bourbon until we run out, so come get your bottle today before it's gone!

🚨Red alert! 🚨
There are still seats open for our October cocktail class tomorrow! Along with a tour of our production facility and free hors d’oeuvres, you’ll be getting to make these three wonderfully warm and cozy cocktails:
🌳🌲 The Hollow - It starts with a mix of our White Dog Moonshine with that same moonshine infused with cinnamon, and then adds Apple Cider, simple syrup, and lemon with a cinnamon stick garnish to create a special fall take on a martini.
🎃 The PumKing Mule - We’ve taken the delicious imperial pumpkin ale from Southern Tier Brewing and cooked it down into a simple syrup for this drink. That plus our Moonrocks Rye Whiskey, lemon juice, and some ginger beer to top it off make for a pumpkin mule that will knock your stockings off!
🌙 Midnight on Kanawha - This luxurious take on an Old Fashioned uses our newly bottled batch of Piney Creek Bourbon, our brown sugar vanilla simple syrup, cold brew, toasted almond bitters, and Orleans bitters. It’s poured into a smoked glass and finished with an expressed orange peel garnish to make a drink so delightful and warm you’ll wish you were bundled up by the fireplace with a good book to read.
If you needed Thursday night plans, these cocktails and some great company at The Bullock Distillery are all you need, but make sure to grab your tickets now before we run out: square.link/u/HxSi1Jku

Tuesday is Royce’s favorite day at the shop.🤩
It’s Trial Tuesday! Royce will be behind the bar experimenting with cocktails all day for you to enjoy. Will it be using a never before seen simple syrup? Is there a new bitter she is trying? You’ll have to order one to find out. Order a Trial Cocktail, give your input, and you could be helping to shape the next great cocktail to hit Charleston! All Trial Cocktails are discounted to $9, so it’s a no brainer to give it a try.
Pop on in to see what funky flavors she’s slinging! 🧪🍹

There’s something about October cocktails that just hits different. 🍂🥃
Apple cider. Cinnamon. Pumpkin beer. Rye. Cold brew. Brown sugar. Toasted almond. Smoke. Basically, we took everything we love about a moody West Virginia fall and turned it into a cocktail class.
This Thursday, October 15th, we’re spending the evening shaking The Hollow, building a PumpKing Mule, and finishing things off with a smoked Midnight on Kanawha. Three cocktails, three different techniques, and plenty of little tricks to take home for your own fall cocktails.
If your ideal October evening involves good whiskey, fall flavors, and hanging out with us in the Elk City Historic District, you know where to find us. 🌙🍎
📅 Thursday, October 15, 2026
⏱️6PM - 8:30PM
📍 The Bullock Distillery | 121 Washinston St W | Elk City Historic District in Charleston, WV
