OUR STORY
Who We Are
Oak House Distillery was founded in 2020 by UGA scientists with a passion for crafting artisanal spirits. It has the distinction of being the first legal distillery in Athens since the 1860s. The distillery produces award-winning botanical gins and Jamaican-style rums, with organic vodka being our latest release. Located in the old Henry Bishop home built in 1864, Oak House Distillery is a unique Georgia destination. The warm and inviting atmosphere of the lounge and bar, complete with two acres of outdoor space under ancient oak trees, creates a relaxed setting for socializing after a long work day, relaxing on the weekend, or hosting your next event. Come indulge in the luxurious ambiance of this historic venue, enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, fascinating distillery tours, and exceptional service that defines the Oak House Distillery experience.
