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 week we want to highlight one of our favorite West Virginia partners, Mountain Table Coffee. Located in Renick just a stones throw from our family farm where we get our Karst Limestone Water, they’ve been roasting amazing coffee for almost two decades.
We love everything that Alex and Nadine do with Mountain Table and have partnered with them on more than simply selling their coffee at the shop. We provide bourbon barrels for them to age their coffee in, make Cold Brew in house using their Seneca Shadows coffee for our Espresso Martinis, and make our signature Appalachian Espresso Bitters (now available for sale) using their Seneca Shadows coffee. If you’ve ever had one of our Espresso Martinis or Bullock Noirs, you’ve had Mountain Table Coffee!
Next time y’all stop in the shop, try one of our partner cocktails and check out their coffee!

🐎 We are closing in on Derby Day and our special Kentucky Derby celebration here at the distillery on Saturday, May 2nd.
We have a four horse specialty cocktail menu named for the four favorites in this years race. You can pick your favorite in the race by ordering either the Renegade Smash, the Commandment Mint Julep, the Puma Spritz, or the Chief Wallabee Mule. All four cocktails were specially created for the 152nd edition of the Kentucky by our cocktail specialist Royce Tanner and will run $13 all day (except for Happy Hour after 5PM when they will be $11!). Royce will also be bringing a special snack for the festivities, so stop by for a food and drink to watch the Kentucky Derby with us. And make sure to wear your best Derby hat! 🎩

🎉 Happy 72nd Birthday to our founder John C. Bullock! It was 10 years ago that John decided he wanted to open a distillery here in Charleston, and here we are now 6 years into operation, thriving and continuing to grow with the community.
To celebrate the occasion, today we are releasing a special bottling of our Piney Creek Bourbon.
This run is completely separate from our usual expression, something as unique as John himself.
There are only 72 one of a kind bottles and they will be exclusively sold here at the distillery, so get a bottle now before they fly off the shelves!
So here’s to our Founder, John…. as we raise a glass to you and wish you the best 72nd birthday! 🥳 🥃
