The tale of 1861 Distillery unfolds with friends gathered

around a crackling fire, accompanied by smooth bourbon

and rich conversation. From that moment, a legacy was born.

 

Since its inception, 1861 Distillery has crafted spirits

rooted in tradition and flavored by a gentler pace of life.

Our spirits are made for good company and warm memories.

They are a nod to the past with a taste that will make

you want to stay in the moment.

 

Nestled in Thomasville, our distillery finds its perfect

home above one of the world's purest limestone aquifers.

Here, the sweet, pristine water forms the foundation of

our spirits, distilled with painstaking care through the

slowest of processes. While it may take longer, we're firm

believers that the pursuit of quality knows no shortcuts.

 

1861 Distillery is named to honor the year Thomasville was graced with the arrival of the first train, transforming our town into a terminus of warmth and hospitality. It's this enduring spirit of welcome that we aim to embody, offering our guests a taste of southern hospitality and a pause to savor life's moments.
