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.

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.

“I drive by there all the time, but I’ve never been in.”
Well… consider this your sign. 👀🥃
Come inside. Grab a cocktail. Take a tour. Sit in the lounge for a while. Ask us entirely too many questions about bourbon.
You already know where we are. Now it’s time to actually stop in, grab a cocktail, and see what we’ve been up to.
You’ve driven by enough. Come see us. 🥃

History is officially on the rocks. 🥃📚
We’re excited to team up with the Marshall University History Department for something brand new at The Bullock Distillery — History on the Rocks!
Think less classroom lecture and more hanging out over a drink while somebody who really knows their stuff tells you about a cool piece of history.
We’re kicking things off on September 30 with Dr. Ben Kletzer and Whistle Stops & West Virginia History 🚂 — a trip through the long, fascinating history of West Virginia’s railroads, followed by plenty of time for questions and conversation.
📅 September 30
⏰ 6:30–7:30 PM
📍 The Bullock Distillery
🎟️ FREE + open to the public
Cocktails and mocktails will be available for purchase — and naturally, Royce is working on something special behind the bar for the occasion. 👀
Where History Meets Happy Hour.
