Mystic Farm and Distillery started making small-batch, handmade Mystic Bourbon Liqueur by blending mature bourbon with wildflower honey and nine spices. Nearly a decade later, it's the first bourbon distillery in the Triangle since prohibition known for its award-winning, limited-release Broken Oak Bourbon. Mystic is farm-to-flask and the world’s largest solar-powered bourbon distillery. Located on a 22-acre site, visitors can visit the farm and fields, tour the distillery, learn about the distilling process and taste their products.

My brother, son & I visited this Distillery to taste some great bourbon while learning about their operations via their weekend tour. The tour consisted of watching some short videos while walking through the Distilling process. We got to view the real equipment used like their fermentation vessels, pumps and heat exchanger. The space is small so very little walking is required. The staff was super friendly, informative and funny. At the end, we got to sample numerous bourbons, gins & vodkas made at their location. My brother couldn't resist to purchase a few bottles to take home to Delaware. If your a bourbon fan, I recommend visiting this quaint little business that has some successful products already available to enjoy!

This place is great. Delicious bourbon and mixed drinks. Super friendly staff. Neat atmosphere. The events they put on are fun. I highly recommend the classes if you want to learn more about bourbon and tasting profiles. Very educational. The tours are great as well!
If you like bourbon or want to learn more about it, this is somewhere you definitely want to go.

My husband and I attended the bourbon and chocolate pairing class and it was SO WORTH IT. It was highly interactive and educational, and a lot of fun. You definitely get your money's worth of bourbon and chocolate. It was followed up by an interactive tour of the facility where we got to taste bourbon straight from a barrel and learn about the distilling process. Their facility also employs a lot of regenerative strategies that we really appreciated learning about. The tasting rooms and grounds are beautiful and the staff are super friendly and fun. We highly recommend visiting and will definitely be back for an old-fashioned and a cigar.

We just moved to the area from Texas and wanted to try the world award bourbon on a tour, it was fantastic! One of the owners is the tour guide, and the sweet bartender helps you get comfortable with a glass before the tour (ideal)
Very informative if you’re unfamiliar with bourbon, and a lovely property to walk around after.

Fantastic atmosphere, great tour, personable staff. Some of the best Bourbon in the world (literally, gold medal winning at the World Spirits Competition blind taste testing), and local. Can't get better than this.

Mystic Farms and Distillery is a place you should go!
We had a delightful visit with the owner, family and staff! While there, we learned all sorts of things about making bourbon and came home with some delicious treats!
As a bonus, we had a guided tour of the nearby piglets!
We will be back! 🤗

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place and the staff. Please pick a class and check it out for yourself. It also makes a great gift for date night, anniversary, or Father’s Day. I highly recommend the sensory class, 10/10.

We enjoyed a distillery tour as a wedding anniversary treat. Your fee includes a cocktail, tour, and sampling all their product. We were impressed by the comprehensiveness of their production process (grains and well water from on-site), and the thoroughness of the tour.

such a great place. I am a bourbon fan so. I could be biased. yet, I've been to quite a few distilleries and this place has it going on. If you enjoy a quality pour and being around some great folks, you need to visit. And if you wish to experience a little more, take the bourbon blending class, it's a great experience for connoisseurs and novices alike. 🤘🤘

I was introduced to Heart of Mystic by a neighbor last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Purchased a second bottle some time later at the local ABC store.
We got back a little bit ago from their American Wildlife Refuge and Tour event today and it was totally worth the drive. An amazing facility, awesome birds from AWG, and loved being able to do a taste testing of their different bottles.
Thanks, Mystic Distillery, for hosting such an amazing event. If anyone likes checking out distilleries and relaxing with some bourbon or cocktails, check this place out. What a wonderful experience!
