“If you could boil Western North Carolina down and bottle it, this would be the place you go. Oak and Grist is smaller compared to the other distilleries in the region, but they are giant-sized in terms of taste and quality. I walked in with no plans of buying gin but left with a bottle in addition to an excellent single malt. We found this place by accident near the end of our trip, and I’m really glad we did.”

“We stop here every single time we are within an hour of this place. Best single malt ever, best gin ever, best cocktails ever, best people ever. Shop local and support local! Oak and Grist is the greatest. If you don’t go you won’t know!”

“Fantastic local distillery. They make an excellent single malt and an interesting barrel aged gin. It is a young, small operation, but they definitely have a big future ahead of them.”
