Small Batch Bourbon
Our Bourbon
Our bourbon is the bourbon that binds. It brings friends together through a signature flavor that creates a unique experience with each exceptional sip. Whether you’re a casual spirit drinker or a whiskey connoisseur, Olde Raleigh Distillery has a small batch bourbon blend for you. We love bourbon, but we’re not here to tell you how to drink it. Enjoy it the way that you like, neat, on the rocks, watered down – it doesn’t matter to us, we just want to enjoy it with you.
For those who love whiskey just as much as we do, you can learn the intricacies of our bourbon and our process by joining the Olde Raleigh Whiskey Society.
Our Passion
Making Damn Good Spirits in Backyard Bourbon Country
Here at Olde Raleigh, we are on a mission to learn something new about bourbon everyday and share that with our customers. We take pride in creating an exceptional spot where the community can gather and experience our love for bourbon with us.
All of our small batches have a local stamp that you will not find in any other bourbon. The community of Zebulon had a 130 year old White Oak tree, which if you don’t know, is double the age of typical oak used in barrels. We toast and char remnants of this White Oak in all of our small batches, making Olde Raleigh Distillery one of the most unique blends in the country.
Olde Raleigh Whiskey Society is our full-bodied flagship bourbon made from premium ingredients from across the U.S. Our three distinct mash bills marry corn, barley, rye and wheat to create a flavor profile that you won’t soon forget. With each sip, you experience unique flavor blends of allspice, caramel, malt chocolate and sophisticated aged oak.The elaborate combination will excite your taste buds and make you say “This is damn good bourbon.”
Sharp attention to detail is the key to our bourbon blends. Each barrel is hand-picked and harvested to create distinct and exceptional bourbon. From the first sip, flavor notes will engulf your senses and create a bourbon experience to be remembered.
But don’t just take our word for it. Come taste it for yourself and raise your glass to the best whiskey in North Carolina.
Our Small Batch Releases
Here at Olde Raleigh Distillery we know that taste is subjective. We love our whiskey, and we know you will too.
Each small batch is unique and cannot be replicated. When they are gone, they’re gone for good! So make sure you get a sip before the barrel runs dry!
Small batch releases are something to be celebrated, so here at Olde Raleigh we do just that. For every small batch release, we throw a big celebration. We invite the community, family, friends and travelers to enjoy another successful release. Enjoy a day filled with music, friends, food, and of course – damn good whiskey!
Our Bottle
Our unique bottle illustrates the same thoughtfulness and complexity as the liquid put inside. The more you look at it, the more hidden intricacies you’ll find.
To start, the long bottleneck shape is not just for looks. The bottle was designed as a glass decanter that, once emptied, serves as a memento that can be repurposed to elegantly store and serve other spirits. With a closer look, you’ll find a coin attached to the wood bottle topper in homage to the Master Blender’s days in the Air Force, where challenge coins were presented for outstanding performance. Turn over the bottle and you’ll also find the Olde Raleigh Whiskey Society logo molded to the bottom of the glass. Keep looking, the details don’t stop there.
