Grey Matter Distillery
About the Distillery
Grey Matter Distillery is located in Atlantic Beach and opened in 2014 as Jacksonville's first craft distillery. The place produces several own spirit brands, including Live Oak Whiskey and Carve Craft Vodka, and invites guests inside for tours, tastings, and serving the distillery's variants. The combination of local grounding and public visitor experiences makes the distillery a clear local gathering point for spirit enthusiasts.
History
Grey Matter Distillery was established in 2014 and marked itself as Jacksonville's first craft distillery. In the years after the founding, the distillery has built a range of own brands, including Live Oak Whiskey, Carve Craft Vodka, Mayport Moonshine, and Ribault Rum. Parallel to production, the distillery has made the visitor experience central: tours and tastings are offered as part of activities, and the site communicates both address, telephone number, and email as contact methods for visitors. This combination of local production and public accessibility constitutes a significant part of Grey Matter's identity.
Whiskies
The range concentrates on Grey Matter's own spirit brands. Live Oak Whiskey is highlighted as the distillery's whiskey brand, while Carve Craft Vodka, Mayport Moonshine and Ribault Rum constitute additional releases in the portfolio. The products are presented as handcrafted spirit variants from the same distillery, and guests on-site have the opportunity to encounter several of these variants in connection with tours and tastings.
