Dragon Moonshine

This place is so great! But, fair warning, they are not following regular hours at the moment, so definitely try and call before you go.But, the owners were absolutely fantastic! It is a small space in a very hidden location (just follow the signs once you park) and the tour is more informative than anything else. Where this place shines is their product, and let's be honest, you didn't come to learn about the distillation process, you came for the booze!They are so generous with their tastings and everything they make is incredible, but the amaretto is where they shine! Their prices for bottles are also very reasonable and you get to keep the shot glass as a souvenir. Plus, Chris, and especially Rick, are so congenial and you can swap stories with them for hours! They are doing a release of their new bottle design, so stay tuned!

Dragon Moonshine Company is relatively new to the area. Local and I mean locals guys fulfill a dream. We had the great pleasure of meeting Christopher co-owner local guy Banker turned Distillery Master that knows his business. We purchased and amazing deal on Groupon and believe me it was a steal for what he had to offer. We spent almost 2.5 hours drinking and learning about the vision, process, direction the company is headed. You can tell from the great details and excitement he has a true passion for what he does. Amazing Run that Apple Pie and Amaretto are going to put you over the top. All I ask is I want to purchase a case of your first batch. Support local business and stop by and ask for Chris. A must try if you are in the NODA area. Tell them Yelp sent you. Caution - Don't let the sweetness of the rum fool you. Have an uber on standby, lol.

My bf and I recently visited Dragon Moonshine during our anniversary after finding a great deal on Groupon. WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME!We were immediately greeted by one of the owners, Chris. This man has such an amazing story! We learned so much about the spirit making process. You can tell he knows his stuff! He answered all of our questions and went into details on how every machine works. What's even more amazing is that he and his partner self-taught themselves how to do this. Genius. To top it all off, we got to taste their rum, amaretto, and apple pie moonshine. Our favorite was the amaretto, which we bought for $24! We even got two shot glasses. I love how everything is handmade from start to finish. Come and bring your friends - ask questions - you'll come out learning so much (and slightly tipsy) lol.

We really enjoyed our visit. The tour was impressive and the moonshine was really good. We did purchase the apple pie version because the Amaretto was sold out when we were there, which was our favorite of all we sampled. We did use a groupon and had no issues with the place being open at 4pm on a Saturday. A nice incorporation to our brewery crawl we planed our self for the perfect day!

On a recent visit to Charlotte, I found this Groupon. Situated in NoDa, this is located at the back of a weird, artsy building. (Cool coffee shop next store!)Inside is an area where you can taste the moonshine and separate area where the magic happens. I found the tour to be informative but was really looking for to trying the goods!I was glad we did the Groupon, because it came with shot glasses with the dragon logo. As a result, it seemed we had bigger pours than the people who had the normal, plastic tasting cups. I swear the moonshine had us making fast friends with strangers next to us, haha. It was good time and we left with a yummy bottle of the apple moonshine.

Yesterday was my first Distillery Experience as I have been to more than 50 brewery's across these amazing United States. I was extremely impressed with the knowledge that Chris displayed through a little over and Hour of Narration from start to finish! Entrepreneur this 1 of 2 principles is! They are building a phenomenal brand with astonishing taste like I've never tasted. The Amaretto has such a unique flavor with a Maraschino touch that pleases the pallet like no other. The Apple pie was like a taste fresh from Grandmas oven with a warming that gives a fantastic finishing touch. The Silver Rum in my opinion would be a hit and certainly rival that of any rum a pirate would drink upon swaying the decks of the high seas! I cannot wait to come back to this region so that I can visit this great place once again!FIVE STARS FOR SURE!!!- Gary Johnson -California

Do not waste your time. I purchased a groupon to take friends and we've now been twice and the same sign was up both times. (See below) I've called 3 times and no answer just machine. Very frustrating to have wasted money and time for us to drive from all different parts of the city to come down not once but twice and it's like they haven't even changed the sign in a month.

Chris and Rick are awesome. We went here for a tour and tasting. We had a great time with these two. Chris put on a great tour. The amaretto and apple pie are must haves. Highly recommended!!!

A very thorough experience that allows for one to understand the hard work and chemistry that goes into creating craft spirits. Sampling's were provided at the end and it was so easy to purchase a bottle at the end, reasonably priced at $25 per bottle. The space is not big but the tour has quite a bit of info that you do not notice. Our tour guide gave us the history and you can really tell the people behind this distillery are dedicated to its success. I definitely suggest a visit to this place. Worth every penny.

This was stop #3 on our Charlotte distillery tours for my dear friend's birthday a couple of weeks ago. We got a little lost finding it, and was a little nervous from the decor (or lack there of), but were very surprised. It was so much fun. We laughed so much, and learned a lot from Chris and Rich. They were some of THE most passionate people we met on these tours we've been on (which is a LOT). They have a real vision and plan, and it's great to see they were moving up quicker than anticipated. The tasting (80 proof silver rum, apple pie moonshine, and amaretto) comes with a shot glass, company logo on the front. The samples were pretty good, but Amaretto was my absolute favorite. I urge whomever is reading this to go visit them and support! I definitely wish them much success in this competitive world.
