Blending Over Backwards – Whiskey Tour & Tasting

Advertisement

In collaboration with Olde Raleigh Distillery:

Olde Raleigh Distillery is where tradition meets innovation—just like its signature blended whiskey. Join owner and master blender Brandon McCraney for a behind-the-scenes tour that dives deep into the craft of distilling and the stories that shape it.

Brandon has spent years immersed in the spirits industry, developing a discerning palate and a passion for the details. As a blender, he hand-selects and harvests barrels to create rich, small-batch spirits. As a distiller, he uses the French-inspired process of élevage to nurture house-made heirloom bourbon, developing complex layers of flavor over time. And as a husband, father, and entrepreneur, Brandon brings warmth and humor to every tour, sharing candid stories about building a family and a business at the same time.

Explore every corner of this thoughtfully designed distillery, from the handcrafted bar and repurposed whiskey barrel tables to the barrel room where the magic happens. Learn how elements like wood, time, and weather shape the character of a whiskey. Gain a deeper appreciation for the art of blending and the science behind distilling.

And of course, no tour is complete without a tasting—enjoy a pour of Olde Raleigh’s latest distinctive blended batch to finish your experience on a flavorful note.
