Castle Spirits Distillery sits in Oklahoma City’s Automobile Alley district at 1249 NW 4th Street, occupying a renovated warehouse space that reflects the area’s industrial heritage. Founded by Jason Hale, who transitioned from a career in telecommunications to pursue his passion for craft distilling, the operation opened its doors in 2016 after navigating Oklahoma’s complex distilling regulations. The distillery focuses on small-batch production of bourbon, rye whiskey, and vodka, with an emphasis on using local ingredients when possible.
Hale’s journey into distilling began as a home hobby that evolved into a serious business venture when Oklahoma’s distilling laws became more favorable to craft producers. The team at Castle Spirits includes experienced distillers who handle everything from grain-in to bottle, maintaining tight control over their production process. Their approach emphasizes traditional distilling methods combined with modern quality control, allowing them to produce spirits that reflect both craftsmanship and consistency.
The distillery operates as both a production facility and tasting room, giving visitors a chance to see the distilling process up close while sampling the finished products. The industrial-style space maintains its warehouse character while providing a welcoming environment for tours and tastings. Castle Spirits represents Oklahoma City’s growing craft distilling scene, offering an authentic look at small-batch spirit production in the heart of the city.
