Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The 1861 Distillery celebrates the history and heritage of Thomasville, and uses water from the pristine aquifer located below the city to produce distinctive Bourbon which embodies the soul of Thomasville. The distillery uses the slowest possible process to produce their Bourbon and other spirits, believing that slow and steady wins the race. They currently produce 2 Bourbons namely Shine Shed Bourbon and a sublime Smoked Cherry Malt Bourbon, both of which can be savored on their own, in the traditional way, or used in a variety of cocktails. Visitors are invited to stop by the Tasting Room to try a flight of their spirits and some good food and company.
