Weldon Mills Distillery

With a little time to kill before a concert at the theater, I was looking forward to trying the distillery. First off, they have amazing service. Very personable, very engaging. the staff knows how to make a customer really feel welcome. The taster was 5 samples for $5, not a bad deal at all. I was explained the differences in the various spirits so I was making informed decisions on what I was trying. From there, I headed into the bar to try one of their cocktails. And this is one impressive bar. They even have their own dehydrator to make garnishes for the drinks. I tried the Blarney Stone, which had their Rockfish whiskey, cinnamon vodka, lemon juice, fig syrup, cherry and lemon. It was a weird combo to be sure, but that was a smooth, enjoyable drink. Definitely worth another visit here, I'll be taking the tour next time around.

We detoured 100% because of the billboards on the interstate boosting their award winning spirits! A very new distillery- they were making huge waves in competitions right off the bat! Located in a historic mill! The property is beautiful, with all the charm- the brick building had a gorgeous bar room and tasting room. I believe they even had event space. The spirits were fantastic, we may have left with numerous bottles- the house vodka and house gin were both too good of a deal to pass up and fantastic spirits! They made inexpensive house spirits so local bars and restaurants could offer cocktails with their spirits! Get the word out! We also got the Soldiers Cut bourbon whiskey & the barrel aged gin, which was very yummy. Plus the staff was fun and informative- even if my adhd had me jumping ahead on the tasting menu details!

We greatly enjoyed our tasting experience, very knowledgeable and friendly staff who love dogs., 5 samples for $5.Lovely restored building close to the river. Afterwards, we spent some time at the bar and enjoyed a few cocktails. They have seasonal cocktails and other unique drinks. The Harvest was a nice twist for a margarita.

While driving down from VA I kept seeing billboards for the distillery. The distillery also happened to be at the same exit we took to get some lunch and gas. We had some time to kill so we figured why not give them a try.While I had never really heard of the brand prior, I was curious to see what their whiskey was like. They had won an Ascot Award, so I knew it had to be good. The building is a beautiful rustic brick building, the whiskey is delicious, and the employees are wonderful.Although the whiskey is fairly young, it still holds its own in comparison to big brands. It was nice to be able to have a quick pour and just relax while on vacation. Would definitely recommend checking them out, or even buying a bottle of their whiskey if you come across it in a store!

Nestled in my quiet little hometown of Weldon, North Carolina, this old sewing factory has been remodeled into a wonderful distillery. The folks are always friendly, welcoming, and happy to make your acquaintance. No food is served here but just around the corner round yonder there are a few places like the old gas station that has been remodeled into a restaurant that has good food.When I go home to see my MaMa who is still down there in the Double R, that's what we locals call, "Roanoke Rapids," I make sure my husband and I stop in to re-up on our finely made spirits. Funny thing is, we live in DC where there's a liquor store on almost every corner but there's something about the quality and care that goes into the making of this liquor. I've never been a hard liquor drinker but WMD and the Apple Caramel Whiskey are so smooth that it makes it very easy to drink. We also picked up some new cans of sparkling vodka water to try those out. And I like those!!! It's time to make another trip down to see my MaMa, pick up some more WMD, sparkling vodka water, Apple Caramel Whiskey, and a bottle of that Maple Whiskey for my friend who really enjoyed that. She drank it in her hot tea during the winter months. I Love Weldon Mills Distillery and I hope more people will stop by. Tell them Shonta´ High, who went to Weldon High School that lives in DC now and is a famous DC community leader, tell them sent you. You're not gonna get any hookups. LMBO! Just let them know that I sent you. LoL!

The drinks were great. The employees were awesome! We'll definitely stop by again! We just stopped by here by chance. So glad we did!

So glad we stumbled on this place while out in this area! Situated at the end of the Roanoke Canal Trail, this distillery does it all, bourbon, whiskey, gin, and vodka. They also have tequila. Every product is exactly as they describe from the initial sip to the last drop. We purchased tickets online for the tour, initially for later in the evening, but our day went different than planned, and we were there hours earlier than originally thought. They let us change our tour time with no problem! The tour is $5 and you get to pick your own 5 to sample. Sounds great, but good luck picking 5 because everything sounds amazing! Guides are knowledgeable and explain each sample, and walk you through the entire distilling process during the tour. After the tour, suppose.you could before, there is a little bar area in the back where you can get a drink featuring one of their spirits If you enjoy distilleries and are anywhere near this area, absolutely check them out! Worth the trip for sure! We brought a few bottles home and will definitely be making sure our local ABC store carries these! They have a place in Durham as.well, haven't been there, but as long as the same liquor, it sounds like a good idea to me!

Small but mighty! This cute distillery is not going to stay a secret for very long. They are award winning and it shows. Their customer service shines as much as their spirits. Shout out to Shannon for being a wonderful host. The All Malt bourbon is a highlight of their bourbon collection, drinks smoothly with a high octane punch that sneaks up on you. Drink it real slow, let the subtle oak and caramel flavors wash over you like that Joe Cocker song (You Can Leave Your Hat On), enjoy the vanilla honey finish that is simply sensuous and leaves you wanting more. Surprisingly smooth and easy to sip, pour yourself a few fingers by the campfire with your closest friends or by the fireplace with that special someone. Get a couple of these limited bottles, as it won't last long on your shelf at home and will sell out soon I suspect. Also of note, are their vodkas, gins, and tequilas. The Orange Tequila has the a delightfully, soft orange flower fragrance on the tip of your nose and a touch of fruit loops on the lips, which sounds as fun as it is delicious. Blood Orange margaritas here we come, we won't be waiting for summer! Equally distinctive and wonderful surprise is the raspberry rose and lychee vodka. Sounds intimidating, but the distinctive rose opens up with the delicate lychee flavors that are subtle, yet provocative. I was instantly transported back to an exotic experience in Thailand. Pair this one with spicy Asian food or a salty sushi. Also, makes for a unique and sophisticated cocktail shaken with crushed ice and lemon rind on the rim with a splash of bubbly to top it off, garnish with fresh blueberries & lemon rind for mimosas that go with any brunch menu. Trust me, you will be the talk of the town! No matter your taste profile, you will find something that you like whether it is the sweet caramel apple whiskey that speaks of the crisp fall weather and comfort of the holidays to come, the tried and true bourbons that welcome you like an old friend by the fire, or the tequilas and vodkas that provide a sophisticated vibe that is not pretentious, but speaks to the possibilities of being open minded and the very happy new year that is around the corner!

Decided to give this distillery a chance and signed up for the tour and tasting. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the bourbon and ended up buying 4 bottles! The distillery itself is pretty typical of a small boutique establishment and they use mostly smaller barrels to rapidly age their distillate. Our tour guide, the tasting host, and bartenders were all very knowledgeable and enjoyable. Give this place a try and support our local businesses!

Great place on the Roanoke river, River Falls Park and the boat landing. Great venue to hold private events Tour was great Award winning liquor Everyone needs to Che in this place out
