Hickory, NC
In the city of Newton, NC in a warehouse, a little unsuspecting from the road, you’ll find the crafted works of sisters Baillie Rector and Andi Foss. Not only are they sisters but they are business partners and a dynamic duo of creativity that brings Newton to life with flavor and a pizzazz for the “Mad Men” mid-century modern style that makes Warehouse Distillery. Baillie and Andi come from a family of entrepreneurs, but it was around their kitchen island that the Setzer family all agreed their next adventure would be distilling. Through hard work, learning the distilling industry and trying different recipes they finally found the perfect recipe for success.
With a family that works and drinks well together you are sure to find a place that feels like home and that is certainly true of the family owned and operated Warehouse Distillery. They have a beautifully crafted arsenal of award-winning Rye Whiskey, Maple Whiskey and Bourbon and a carefully curated beverage list to showcase their hard work oh so nicely. If you’re planning a visit to the Hickory region, a bucket list “must” is the Warehouse Cocktail lounge, located on-site at the distillery. An eclectic atmosphere, that is pet friendly with hints of the mid-century modern flare, a drink list with something for everyone (including mock-tails,) and added touches like weekly food trucks and live music make this a happening spot Wednesday’s & Thursday’s 4pm-9pm and Friday & Saturdays from 4pm – 10pm.
As their business continues to grow so will their list of spirits and they always keep their family mission and vision in mind- “to cultivate a passion for craft spirits and empower future generations of entrepreneurs, for the love of booze.”
