Best Micro Distillery in the world!
Recognized as the ‘Best Micro Distillery in the World’ at the 2023 International Whiskey Competition, our Master Blender, Brandon McCraney, is helping put Zebulon, N.C. back on the map with Olde Raleigh Distillery. From the meditative process of selecting and aging barrels to the masterful process of picking harvest times through élevage, here at Olde Raleigh we produce distinct and exceptional small batch bourbon.
Olde Raleigh Distillery dominated the Best North Carolina category by securing first and second-place recognitions for the Olde Stogie Bourbon and Honey Cask Finished Bourbon. These two small batches were also in the top three for Best Barrel Finish and Special Cask Whiskey, where Olde Stogie Bourbon finishes in Armagnac and Tawny Port Casks and Honey Cask finishes in a honey barrel.
As we continue to pave our way through the spirits industry through growing partnerships with local farmers and giving back to the community that has supported us since 2021, Olde Raleigh remains dedicated to our roots and community. Beyond accolades and praises, our mission is straightforward – to craft exceptional experiences and damn good bourbon for bourbon lovers everywhere. We stand as a symbol of local pride and achievement.
Hand-crafted bourbon blends made with a meticulous attention to detail and a fearless approach to creating unique, small-batch expressions.
