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. (^_^)/"

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.

We overall enjoyed our experience and especially thr mojito and jungle bird drinks…read more It was a rainy cold day for May weather so unfortunately didn't get to sit on the patio as I had hoped! The crowd was a little slow (prob due to weather) so not a super vibrant atmosphere when we arrived but it got a little busier as time went on. We enjoyed all of our cocktails, the ones we ordered were: Daiquiri -- 8.5/10 Jungle bird. -- 10/10 our favorite drink of the night!! Iced coffee (this is a cocktail) -- 9/10 because of the uniqueness and the drink was really yummy Mojito -- 9/10 really good mojito but was heavy on the ice Basil French 75 -- 6.5/10 I personally wouldn't order it again, I was excited to try it but it just wasn't my personal preference Hurricane -- 7/10 didn't love this one and asked for more sour mix I would absolutely come here again, especially on a nice summer day, and sit outside to enjoy the vibes! I also think it would be fun to come back for live music. I will say we ordered some food and it was just okay, convenient while drinking yes but not really the standout aspect of this place. We got the pretzel with beer cheese and the meat lovers flatbread, which is very small, about the size of a 8 inch personal pan pizza.

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.

Roger gave us a very informative and interesting free tour of the distillery. It is not far from Lexington. We enjoyed the country drive from Chapin. It is definitely worth your time to come visit.

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!

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!
