Old Dominick Distillery's tale began in 1843 when Domenico Canale was born on the Italian Riviera. His uncles left for the United States a year later, settled in Memphis, and started a wholesale grocery business, which included liquor and wine. Domenico followed in their footsteps in 1859 at the age of sixteen. Once in America, he began working with his uncle, running a fruit cart, and in 1866, he established D. Canale & Co., a food wholesaler. Here, he also offered a whiskey called Old Dominick. Throughout the decades, the company has undergone many transitions and changes, leading it to the successful business it is today. With its rich history, this is a wonderful spot to begin the rest of your lives together. Old Dominick Distillery boasts versatile indoor and outdoor spaces.

Beautifully decorated bar with huge windows overlooking the distilling equipment. You'll notice a distributive yeasty smell when you walk in, but it's not unpleasant. We tried four very different drinks and all were delicious. Strong, too. Happ...
y hour, 4 to 7 on Thursdays. They don't serve food, but you can bring your own snacks. They also have a nice gift ship with everything from whisky glasses to plush Dominick chickens.

I made a point to stop by Old Dominick Distillery during my evening out in downtown Memphis, and it was an absolutely premier experience. The facility itself is a beautiful blend of industrial history and modern design, featuring massive glass ...
windows that give you a direct view of the gleaming copper stills from the bar area. I opted for a flight of their house-distilled spirits, and everything from their crisp vodka to their rich, complex whiskey was incredibly smooth and well-crafted. The bartenders were exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing the fascinating history of the brand's pre-Prohibition roots while mixing up some of the best craft cocktails I've had on this entire trip. It has a fantastic, upscale yet welcoming vibe that makes it a must-visit spot for anyone wanting to experience the modern taste of the city.

hich takes you from start to finish, grain to bottle, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! I wish I remembered our tour guides name, she was wonderful and very knowledgeable for only having worked there one year. Special shout out to Matt for a little behind the scenes tour! The tasting after the tour takes you from the clear stuff to the famous Toddy so you get a little of everything. We enjoyed a cocktail at the bar afterwards and left with a couple bottles from the gift shop. The barrel aged gin is absolutely wonderful and unique, make sure you try some!
