First time visit and loved it! Carly was an excellent host and made our experience so fun. Bourbon / Rye / 4-grain knowledge now officially through the roof. Highly recommend!!!

This is one of the best new spots in Charlotte! Service is 10/10 and it’s a perfect chill spot to get away from some of the craziness of SouthEnd.

Amazing experience. Met the owners, the bartender, etc. Great experience, but even better liquor! These guys have such great house made bourbon and a great environment I highly recommend.

An amazing gem in Matthew’s!

Great local distillery, flight of Bloody Butcher Corn was great, each one had it's own nuance. Of course ended up with a bottle of the new one in my car to take home and enjoy. Patio setting was warm and inviting, staff friendly and professional.

They have a variety of spirits offered and give great explanations about them. The gin was a particular favorite with the group. The slushies are a must try!

Had an old fashioned made with Bloody Butcher Corn straight bourbon whiskey. A wonderful drink. Thee regular old fashioned made with rye bourbon was also very good. Service was great and everyone we met were very friendly and courteous. Nice place to hang out with a good drink

Avid distillery visitor all around the country. We have never spent more than $20 for a flight, they charge $10 a shot on their flights. Plus they push you towards certain bottles by saying everything else on their flight list is “out of stock” but yet the place is full of all of their product. Reading the back of the bottle is says distilled in Kentucky and sent to them. The best part is they want almost $100 for a bottle of their product. Can spend less on well known more enjoyable bourbons. The place is cute, guy behind the bar is super nice but can’t see this place lasting.

I ordered from Oaklore and never received anything from them after weeks of attempting to contact them I never received my package and they charged me a restocking fee and the cost of the shipment!
This place is a scam!

Visited yesterday and everyone was so welcoming and enthusiastic about their product. Found the bourbon very smooth and the rye was just the right spicy notes. Lovely area for sampling.
Not only great bourbons and rye, but the owners are friendly, informative, and show you all the love they impart on their craft distillations. Stop in and enjoy small business at it’s best.

My favorite place to go for a drink! Incredible people, a beautiful space, and even better drinks. You’re missing out on a gem if you haven’t been here yet.

Oaklore is the best, most user friendly distillery in the greater Charlotte area. Most visitors will come for their highly-acclaimed bourbon / whiskey and rye, but don’t overlook the potato-heavy vodka. Go for one of their Story Series releases if you want something truly unique and special; I did. Oaklore’s bourbon isn’t distilled in Charlotte, so they use high quality satellite surrogates in NC and KY, which is fine. One of their sources employs a Master Distiller who hails from the Beam family! Pro Tip: The food cart out front is a must-try; you’ll be hooked.

First time coming here and all I can say is wow. I am in love with this place. The bar tender was lovely and so sweet. She was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. I had the Old Fashion and my wife had a mojito. Both were amazing. There is a great atmosphere and we were shocked it was empty. The inside is small but really cool. They have a big gift shop with all kinds of swag. This place should be packed all hours of operation. Definitely will be my go-to place for high quality cocktails from now on!
