In town for a few days. One of.my friends is a big whiskey bourbon fan. So I wanted to do something…read morefun for them. When you walk it's like a light shines upon all things whiskey and bourbon. Very cute and quaint. Ashley conducted the tasting for us. They had the flights and I had a lemon drop. We then sat in the heated tent to finish our drinks. There was a food truck as well. City cookout I believe was the name, we orders chicken sandwiches and then wings. Everything was good. They were having a live band that night. They also have a cigar lounge. I forgot to get picks of drink and my friend's flights. Maybe next time. But there will be a next time for a visit. Any whiskey and bourbon drinkers and lovers make sure to stop by. Thank me later......

My friend and I decided to host our book club here. We didn't call ahead so we failed to realize…read morethe indoor space was booked, however we knew there was plenty of outdoor space to accommodate us. I cannot stress how amazing the service was. When I walked in, I let the bartender know we were hosting a group and he directed any newcomers towards our area. He was also very helpful in helping me navigate the drink selection and shared with me that they had an onsite food truck that was open. Unfortunately the weather was pretty toasty, but they had a tent space that was unoccupied with two small fans, so we moved our group in there. Towards the end of our visit, I had a chance to chat with the event manager who gave me her info in case we wanted to try and reserve the indoor space for future events. Overall, I could tell that they passionately cared that all their guests have a great experience. When you walk in, it is clear that they want to make everyone feel welcome and included.

Oh and you may say well I only like mixed drinks.... listen this place has it! I tried 3 different drinks and even now, weeks later, I drool over those cocktails! I even tried to remake them at home... but alas I lack the skills needed. Now let's get to the location, is there parking yes ample parking. Are there tables? Yes, they have 2 tops and a bar to sit at. Can you see the distillery? Absolutely! The atmosphere is really down to earth. I even had a great chat with out customers and the owner. This place is a magnificent gem in a tiny town. And yes, I bought and recommend the spiced rum! Half the bottle is gone now so I'm going to need to get more soon. (^_^)/"

It was a nice product but one of the owners was rude during our visit. It's unfortunate that we…read morewon't be back. But, the owner made it clear that we weren't welcome because we were from a northern city. A very uncomfortable treatment for a customer. Extremely unprofessional and odd behavior to say the least.

Drinks were really tasty and well made. I plan to drink my way thru their menu before I stick with a favorite. At some point I want to try the food and do a tasting. Other than there being a bunch of small children here it was a nice place to visit.

Awesome place! Went to see live jazz music which is held in the back…read more The pizza was sooo good! I added sausage to the pizza that had cheese and a white sauce and I can't wait to try it again. They had a lot of great options and one pizza is enough for 2/3 people to share.

The tasting room is attractive and features an award wall that inspires confidence in sampling the distilled spirits. The staff are very friendly and generous with their pours. I was impressed with their product and we had a good time comparing the different releases. My friend snagged his free birthday vodka, and we got a tour of the production facility! A great day at the HCD! Go, you will like it a lot!

Who would've thought such a great distillery would be in the middle of no where South Carolina?…read moreThis place is situated right by the river on a beautiful piece of land overlooking the water. They've got picnic tables outside where it's great to just enjoy nature before heading inside. You're immediately greeted by some of the nicest folks around who seem genuinely happy you're there. Everyone was so nice, helpful, and happy. It seems like a real nice family run place. The tasting and tours are free and they are very knowledgable and helpful. When the woman doing our tasting didn't know the answers to some of my questions, she immediately got ahold of someone who did. Everything was good, but my favourites were there two bourbons. I love that you can buy barrel strength bottles of their whiskies, and i took several home!

Wow this was a micro craft distillery at its best. Customer service, selection, and knowledge. They…read moretruly deserve being the face of the charlotte area whiskey. 1st entering, you walk into a small area with a gift shop area, bar area, and small separate sitting area on the first floor. The small sitting area also houses their original small still they currently produce their gin in. Pretty cool piece of history. So about the juice...They're really got some good stuff. You can do a curated flight for 10 dollars each pour, you can also do single pours of whatever they have available as well from their core products to the single barrels. I really love what they're doing with the "Story" line where they experiment with different finishes and blends. I'm not a huge rye guy but they are certainly doing it right. That says a lot for me to grab 2 to take home of their rye single barrels..my bartender was so cool and knowledgeable I even grabbed the one he actually picked. Overall 10/10. They're giving the bigger names a definite run for their money. You will not go wrong supporting and drinking local with them. Hands down the best in the charlotte area. They do offer shipping but, you NEED to go in for the full experience and the option to grab distillery exclusive bottles. #Foodierunner approved lol

It was a scorching hot North Carolina day in April when we arrived for the afternoon tour at…read moreSouthern Grace Distillery. We had paid in advance and made it just in the nick of time to join our group of about a dozen people. The crowd was a mix of adults and children; personally, I didn't quite understand the presence of kids on a jailhouse and whiskey tour, but the group was ready to dive into the history. The tour kicked off with chilling news of hauntings. Our guide mentioned that the show "Ghost Hunters" had even visited the site, certifying the old jail as haunted--though fortunately by "friendly" spirits. The sensory experience was a bit of a rollercoaster. I generally enjoy the scent of bourbon, and the initial aroma upon entering the distillery is quite pleasant. However, the main room where we spent a significant portion of the tour had a scent that was overwhelming and wholly unpleasant. That said, the content of the tour was good. It provided a well-balanced mix of intriguing historical facts about the prison and the technical side of whiskey making. The kids got restless during the tour and actually started brutally kicking each other in the shins. They each had on shell toed Crocs, so you could hear the crunch of bone and flesh beneath each kick. Their parents let it go on indefinitely. The hour passed quickly and was well worth the $14 adult admission. The tasting at the end is not for the faint of heart. They serve hard liquor, and I do mean HARD. My lips were numbing and my face was next. I had to tap out after the third swig! On the bright side, the gift shop is fantastic. They have the most darling items; we walked away with two tote bags and a delicious pink lemonade drink that will be perfect for sharing with friends this summer. This is a unique, affordable way to spend an hour, provided you can handle the heat and the high proof!
