MannCave Distilling Inc. - Weston, West Virginia

Found MannCave Distilling through Harvest Hosts and we camped overnight here. Was very impressed with their operation and award winning spirits. They had a fantastic tasting where we learned all about what goes in to making different spirits and even got to try some mixed drink recipes (and they gave us a cool recipe card). The property is beautiful, and my son LOVED meeting the many turkeys and ducks and chickens and learning about them! Definitely worth the visit!

Cool place. Just be prepared to really drive there. Also watch out for the crazy wild turkeys and free range chickens.

After seeing the signs on I-79 for a couple years, decided to stop by. They're a bit out of the way, but worth the drive. They were generous with free tasting samples of their entire product lineup and some mixed drinks you could make with it. Ended up leaving with a bottles of their bourbon and moonshine.

The distillery opened in December 2018 and I was able to visit for the first time in June of this year and have been back two more times since!
MannCave Distillery is run by Steven Mann and is a family operation.
Everyone has a job at the distillery and all are eager to share the knowledge and passion of their craft.
Steven is always willing to give a tour and his wife Wendy handles the "sampling of the wares" and she is quick to share her recipes utilizing the vodka, moonshine, and corn whiskey made on premises.
I have purchased the whiskey and the moonshine on more than one occasion and buy for friends back in Ohio.
If you get the opportunity it is well worth the scenic drive to visit the Mann Cave!
Currently open for tastings and tours on Saturdays only.

Found this place by accident in a BBQ festival in Stonewall Jackson Lake Park. Got directions to the distillery and went to visit.

Tried the corn whiskey and oh man! It was so good I bought a bottle right there. This was two weeks ago, and you can see how much I have been sipping on this stuff.

Do yourself a favor. If you are a whiskey fan, get a bottle of this. No it’s not high end expensive whiskey out of Ireland or Tennessee, but it’s a damn good whiskey out of West by God Virginia!

Great stuff guys. We will visit again soon!

Visited this place after finding it - they were doing construction on the route. Had a tasting and tour and they were all so nice. They even helped us decide our next spot to visit and drove out that way to help us find the right way there - too nice! Got a bottle of their vodka, too!

I really enjoyed all the liquors at the store. Staff shared moonshine recipes and gave a tour of the distillery. This is a great stop that is a beautiful 15 minute drive off the highway through the West Virginia farmland.

Stay the course as you wind your way to MannCave Distilling's remote location, including the final stretch of one-lane dirt drive, and you'll be rewarded with a host of craft spirit options. We spoke at length with the owner's son who was highly knowledgeable about their operations. I'm not a big gin sipper but after some samples I bought the more traditional of their two gins, which has blackberry as one of the botanicals. They also have one that's heavily berry flavored. I found the corn liquor and 100% corn mash bill whiskey smooth but thin and simple in flavor. I'm no expert, but I suspect their use of a column still pulls a lot of flavor out. They take pride in their craft, and it's definitely worth a visit. I'm interested to try the new Ambrosia liquor next time. MannCave is two notches above Tourist Moonshine places that make one corn liquor and offer it in 31 different flavors, but they have some work to do in the whiskey department.
