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!

Bourbon was 10/10 and the old fashioned mix was absolutely INCREDIBLE!

Fantastic experience for the bourbon drinker in your family. Great products they are putting out. Went home with a few bottles that I will put in my selection of bourbons that I personally list as favorites.

Our experience at the distillery was one of the most pleasant. Max welcomed us in a very friendly manner and explained everything about the brand and its products with professionalism and enthusiasm. We were extremely satisfied with the experience and the exceptional quality of the bourbons they are producing. Congratulations on the project and marry Christmas again, Maria and Robert.

Long story short, absurd prices.

Pros: friendly, small, unique, lot of outdoor seating

Cons: prices are not only absurd but the products aren’t worth what they are asking for either. Several people came in, did tastings, and left empty handed after being ripped off for $40/person on a handful of samples. By comparison, a place like Chemist in Asheville is a small place but the tastings are free, and then I happily spend $10-15 on their signature cocktails and walk away with a few bottles. Spending $100 on a date for 4-5 samples is inexcusable. Cannot go back as it isn’t a justified cost and I don’t buy their bottles for the home bar either.

Beautiful place that you can tell they put the love into just like the alcohol that they do as well. Really loved the Oaklore cocktail or “skinny old fashion”. Awesome service and we brought our dog that absolutely loved the place too! Highly recommend.

Very expensive price for their whiskey and also small atmosphere unless you want to be outside.
