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.

This Saturday, we’re raising a glass to the grand opening of Elizabeth Lee’s brand-new brick-and-mortar shop here in Elk City. 🌸✨

To celebrate, we created a special cocktail inspired by the timeless, cozy elegance of the “grandmillennial” aesthetic — fresh flowers, handwritten notes, heirloom pieces, and hosting your friends “just because.”

🥃 THE GRANDMILLENNIAL
Karst Water Select Bourbon, house-made honey lavender syrup, fresh lemon, and lavender bitters. Floral, elegant, and just a little nostalgic.

Join us this Saturday to welcome one of Elk City’s newest small businesses and celebrate another beautiful addition to our neighborhood.

We’re so excited to see Elizabeth Lee open her doors and continue making Elk City such a special place to spend an afternoon. 💐
Stop by, shop local, sip something pretty, and celebrate with us. ✨

Sweet. Tart. A little dangerous. 🍒
Our Delia May’s Revenge is a cocktail inspired by one of our favorite pieces of Bullock lore.
This drink brings bright cherry, dark sweetness, and deep smoke notes that embody the spirit of Delia May, the wife of Gaspard Leblanc, the namesake of our Leblanc Vodka. She would throw actual cherry bombs down her basement steps to break up her husband’s illicit distilling production. This one drinks dangerously smooth while still packing a punch, just like Delia May herself.
Stop into the lounge this week and see why it’s quickly becoming a crowd favorite. 🔥

It’s that time of year again! It’s time to start getting excited for West Virginia Day!

Of course, it can’t be a proper West Virginia Day without The Bullock Distillery’s annual West Virginia Day single barrel bourbon. We’ve got Mountaineer pride and make sure we show it each year with this special release. This year’s bottling will be the Mothman Reserve and will be released on West Virginia Day, June the 20th. Make sure to circle the date so that you can secure your bottle because they’ll be gone before you know it!

The Bullock Distillery is taking our cocktail class skills on the road in June! 🚗

In addition to our monthly class here at the distillery, our cocktail guru Royce will be traveling to Huntington to help put on a cocktail class in partnership with the Jockey Club. We’ll be bringing the spirits, they’ll be making the cocktails. There will be two classes hosted at their 4th Avenue location on Sunday the 14th of June. The first starts at 3PM and the second will be at 6:30PM. There are only 16 seats for each class, so make sure to grab your tickets now if you are in the Huntington area or plan on being there for the class.

We are excited to be partnering with the Jockey Club and be bringing our spirits all across West Virginia. We’ll see you there! °🥂⋆.ೃ🍾࿔*:・

Our Reviews

I was there during the early conversations. I visited the water source and camped for a weekend. Now it’s finally a bottled product and reality.

Everything was great, Tighe. You done it, boy!

Picture taken in my studio for the night. No, I won’t be drinking it during my shift…maybe.

Sipping on some @thebullockdistillery 3 year rye on this fine Fryeday evening! ????

I grabbed this bottle a couple weeks ago and I’m really into it. It’s Bullock’s second expression of rye (their first being a 2 year). The nose is very grain forward, with hints of fruit here and there. The palate is “juicy” and feels fantastic while it lasts, but feels a little thin. That’s fine by me though, because the finish is what I’m here for: peppery and spicy, it keeps a tingle for quite a few minutes after a sip!

All in all, it’s a great bottle and I’m really looking forward to trying their bourbon once it’s available. Make sure to support your local distilleries people!

A few weeks ago, Shawn and I (finally) checked out The Bullock Distillery. We should have gone sooner! We took a tour of the distillery with John Bullock andDusta M. Tanner. Then, Royce Tanner gave us samples to try. Shawn keeps repeating that it is the best vodka he has ever had, simply describing it as smooth. They also have some locally made items for sale. Go check them out.
