We bought an abandoned mill!

Check out our new location, the historic Mount Holly Cotton Mill! Originally constructed in 1875, the Mount Holly Cotton Mill is the oldest standing textile mill in Gaston County. It has experienced many changes throughout the years and we are proud to restore it as a manufacturing facility. We're focused on the customer experience and the 17,000 square foot building will include a cocktail bar, event space, and more! Check out our video series From Mill To Still and join along with us as we renovate our new home!

our products

Here at Muddy River Distillery we are doing things the right way. That means we only use the best quality ingredients we can get our hands on. We only use real, all-natural ingredients for our flavored rums and none of that fake, bogus flavorings that the other guys use. Why are our barrel aged offerings so good? Well, that's because the of the barrels we use. We only use virgin American white oak barrels, and if you're a bourbon fan, then this will sound very familiar. Using new oak barrels ensures us that you will get to experience our rum in a format that you may recognize in the bourbon world.


"Queen Charlotte's Rum is the gateway rum for the bourbon drinker" -Robbie D.-
