    The distillery
    Queenny C.

    We started to interest on Whisky recently, found Olde Raleigh website, saw the video of Brandon, the owner, saw his passion on the Bourbon, then decided to book a tour. The distillery, Kristy and Roy who work there made the place so worth of visiting . The tour was conducted by Roy with lots of information for beginners like us. Kristy who guided us on the 3 choices of whisky for the flight which included in the tour. My husband ordered an extra smoked whisky, it was really cool. We were very happy that we chose Olde Raleigh Distillery to visit and to experience the tour. Keep up with the great work guys! We will be back!!!!

    We enjoy stopping in at local distilleries in our travels around North Carolina.....We have been meaning to stop in here for a while because we're in Zebulon often and pass it by. We finally got around to it on a Saturday night. We found parking in the street a couple doors down from the distillery. It was relatively busy but not crowded and we easily found seats at the bar. The bourbons were great, we tried tastings of two of them but we especially loved the cocktail menu. We had the blackberry bourbon mule and the raspberry bourbon smash, both had the #16 small batch bourbon in them and both were so good. Kristi (sp?) was the bartender and she was attentive and friendly and even customized our cocktails for our particular taste, my husband liked his more tart then sweet and I liked mine double strained. We will definitely be back.

    What a fabulous tour we had when visiting Olde Raleigh Distillery! We had good college friends in town and were looking for something to do when we stumbled upon Olde Raleigh Distillery Tour. Our tour guide, Dominic, was personable and knowledgeable. We learned about the process of creating their product and had a fun time doing it. The tour ended with a bourbon tasting. Hailey, the bartender, and Dominic were great with walking us through the flavors and nuances of the tasting. I highly recommend stopping by this unique gem.

    We each tasted 3 bourbons and they were all distinctly different and unique.

    We stopped by Olde Raleigh Distillery on a Sunday afternoon for a taste of some hand crafted bourbon and got so much more! Not only is their award winning blended bourbon some of the best bourbon on the market, the staff and owner are some of the best folks in the state! The space is warm and welcoming, tastefully decorated and plenty of room to spread out a bit. It was standing room only on this particular Sunday as Brandon (the owner) was offering free tours to Veterans in honor of Memorial Day. Christy and Hailey were behind the bar offering some great craft cocktails, a wealth of knowledge of the products and plenty of smiles and laughter! Brandon was very kind to give us a quick tour as he finished up his day and answered some of my crazy questions! Excellent experience all around and highly recommended stop!

    My wife and I are visiting North Carolina from Sacramento. We enjoy visiting local distilleries and came across Olde Raleigh. Visited yesterday and took a tour. Dominic was an excellent host for only the two of us. Learned a lot about the owner and how the distillery came to be. Ended the tour with a tasting of really good bourbon and we walked out with a bottle.

    I made a stop in Zebulon specifically to visit Olde Raleigh Distillery based on the recommendation of a few friends in the industry. I plopped my butt at the end of the bar and was created promptly by Hailey and Kristy. There was also a gentleman Barback whose name escapes me now. Mama Hailey and Kristy introduced the menu and Kristy told me several of the whiskeys available to taste as well as to purchase in the gift shop. After a short look, I tasted batch 13, Honey Barrels 6, and 7, along with the coffee cask finish batch 2. After tasting some of their offerings, Kristy asked if I would like to see the event space and the barrel room as a courtesy to me, being in hospitality, myself. After a quick and informative tour of the spaces, we returned to the bar. I tasted the last of a 23yr old Canadian hazmat whiskey. The hazmat was far and away my favorite, but the most complex and surprising was the coffee cask. I purchased a bottle of the coffee cask whiskey along with a stemmed tasting glass to take on vacation to the beach. Grandmother Hailey, Kristy, and the Barback gentleman (maybe Charles?) were all super welcoming, not only to myself, but to everyone else in the bar and ont he patio. They had great personalities, relatively knowledgeable about their whiskeys, and moved with speed when needed. I had a fantastic time and will be sure to come back anytime I'm through town. Thank you!!!

    First visit here, met up with some of my husbands friends for a few drinks. Can't believe Zebulon has this gem! Love the scenery, the bartender is amazing Walked in, wasn't sure what I wanted, he asked what I usually drank, brought me something he made custom.

    My boyfriend and I are now obsessed with this charming distillery. If we lived closer, we'd be here all the time. I've toured several distilleries but never with someone so close to the process. Sam, our guide, oversees production, and he gave us lots of insight and information into the process. It was fascinating. The tasting that's included in the tour was better than any tasting I've had. It was well organized and facilitated, and I wish every tasting could be like this. Finally, the drinks....omg were they good, some of the best cocktails I've had. You could really see the passion and love behind the business and the bourbon. I cannot say enough good things about Olde Raleigh, and I hope we have the chance to return.

    To say that this establishment is absolutely incredible would be a tremendously huge understatement. The atmosphere is beautiful and filled with laughter from the happy Employees and the satisfied Patrons. This place is impeccably clean and orderly. The phenomenal staff, Kristy, Hayley, and Johnny greet you with welcoming smiles and extraordinary customer service. These remarkable Employees are a vital part of being the heartbeat of such a one-of-a-kind business. Looking forward to meeting the owner, Brandon, to see the individual who is responsible for running a business that should be a model example of how ALL businesses should operate. My beautiful Wife, Sandi, and I have lived in Zebulon since October of 2017. Our only negative point concerning this business is that we did not know it existed up until a few days ago. Olde Raleigh Distillery thank you so much for having such an incredibly spectacular place for my Wife and I to come to unwind. Will be highly recommending this establishment to ALL of my Family & Friends. If you've not had the pleasure of walking through the front doors here you most certainly have no idea what you're missing out on. F I V E S T A R S

    I must admit the ambiance is so amazing and inviting that I felt as if I could hear it calling out to me. I was here for a wedding event and had the pleasure of meeting Ben when there was happy hour. The menu is very creative as well as the cocktails. Each drink I had the pleasure of tasting were different then the other and tasted AMAZING. If you have considered trying them out for a date night/ friends night out, don't hesitate anymore.

    Craft cocktails paired with an engaging bartender (Ben) in a clean sleek space with great tunes. Nice bourbon selection with their own currently aging. Attention to detail including wall art featuring their unique bottles. We were welcomed into the bar, cocktail menu, including a couple of mock-tails are on a video screen. However, they have a full selection of liquor, so Ben will make whatever you like, and he can certainly make recommendations. ORD also has an event space that recently has had pop up shops on Saturdays and a different food truck on both Sat & Sun. Definitely will be making this my watering hole in Z-Town.

    I had such an amazing experience at Olde Raleigh Distillery! The tour was such a great way to learn more about the process of making bourbon and Brandon was very knowledgeable on everything. You can really tell that they care about their craft and there is so much attention to detail from the ingredients used, the process, and even the bottle they put their whiskey in. The craft cocktails were amazing and I highly suggest their smoked old fashioned and their Bananas Foster cocktail! Will definitely be back!

    Their bourbon can hold its own -- and often surpass -- a lot of the well known Kentucky bourbons.
