    Melissa Kenis was our tour guide today and she did an amazing job. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. If you have never been I definitely recommend checking out Southern Distilling. You really can't appreciate it until you are in the warehouse and have that wonderful smell of oak and bourbon hit your nose. Bourbon was delicious and we will be recommending to all of our friends and family. Come find out the history of bourbon and how this amazing family was able to help during the pandemic. It is so nice to see a family/company be able to do so much for their community.

    Excellent! Went on the behind the scene whiskey tour and tasting. Joe was our guide and he was great! Very knowledgeable. Love how the company tries to have as little waste as possible (leftover corn, wheat and rye mash is used to feed farm animals, some old barrels turned into furniture). And 50% of the sale of their Southern Star double rye whiskey goes to Purple Heart homes for veterans. Awesome! Got to the distillery off exit #54 on I-77. Really enjoyed. Highly recommend!

    Great tour experience for just $15! Even if you are not into whiskey the tour is interesting and well worth it - once the tour is over you have the opportunity to sample Southern’s entire line up of locally made whiskeys. You can also purchase cocktails separate from the tour and hangout at their bar.

    Awesome, informative tour! The best part was learning how to taste the bourbon. The products are top quality also. I would suggest arriving early to have a cocktail as they are delicious.

    Great place, was a very friendly place greeting me as soon as i entered. A beautiful sitting place with couches and chairs, a nice bar ready to serve you a drink. Its very open, the tour was fun, very informative and very springy the tour guide was. And to top it off they sold me on two of their bottles that one was very surprising that i bought it. Would happily take it again especially if they have more options to try

    A buddy and I had passed by Southern Distilling for a number of years always saying we need to stop and check it out. We finally did and what an awesome place. A great space for the tasting room, inclusive of a small bar and comfortable seating available to enjoy your beverage/s. They also feature a retail area with all of their product along with various other branded items, shirts, glassware etc. All very tastefully done. We decided to take a tour of the distillery and so glad we did. You go behind the seens to see how the product is produced and the great lengths they go for quality. It lasted ~45 minutes with the end a sampling of 6 of their products, tasty! Our guide took his time to both present the distillery as well as answer your questions. all for $15. We then went to the bar to had a drink before leaving and the bartender were awesome, very friendly, knowledgeable and fun. A great time, and would highly recommend!

    We made a brief stopover here and had a great tasting with Mel! We wish we could have stayed longer to hear more about the distillery. Mel was clearly very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the product, and we left with 2 bottles to enjoy later. Would definitely return!

    We stopped in for a tour, tasting, and cocktails on a Sunday afternoon and had a lovely experience! We wish we had found this location sooner and we can’t wait to visit again! The tour guide and bartender were informative and friendly. Our tour guide is a history teacher and shared a wealth of knowledge about whiskey in NC that we really enjoyed hearing! We’re big whiskey drinkers and we went home with a few bottles. We really enjoyed the double rye and we felt that the bourbon cream was out of this world! I think any non-bourbon drinker would still enjoy the informative tour and the bourbon cream- it would be amazing in an espresso martini or even straight as a dessert cocktail. The tasting room has such fun decor and don’t miss the cute donkeys at the entrance!

    I had been wanting to visit for a long time and finally worked it out. Why did I wait so long? What a wonderful experience! Angela was very knowledgeable and friendly and guided us through our tasting. Great bourbon from right here in NC. A great hidden secret!

    What a wonderful place to enjoy an afternoon. Great, informative tour by a friendly guide. Fun Tasting after the tour. Nice to see small local business offering this niche. Beautiful grounds and buildings. And, I got a Christmas present taken care of. Definitely go if you are into this.
