Outer Banks Distilling

Outer Banks Distilling is located at 510 Budleigh St in Manteo, on Roanoke Island — reached from the beach towns by crossing the Washington Baum Bridge at Whalebone Junction near Nags Head. Roanoke Island carries a different history than the barrier-island strip to the east: it's the ground of the 1580s Roanoke Colony, whose disappearance remains an open historical question rather than a solved mystery, and Manteo's small downtown wraps around Shallowbag Bay as a walkable, low-key waterfront district rather than an oceanfront strip. That's the setting a visit to the distillery falls into, on an island known first for its history and only secondarily for what's made or sold there today.

The posted schedule runs five days a week:

• Tuesday–Saturday: 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.
• Sunday and Monday: closed

Beyond hours, address, and phone, the record here doesn't confirm specifics like current offerings, tastings, or tours — call (252) 423-3011 or check outerbanksdistilling.com directly before planning a stop, since that's the most reliable way to know what's on hand day to day.
