MannCave Distilling sits on Left Millstone Road in Weston, West Virginia, a small town tucked into the hills of Lewis County. Founded by Mark Mann, this craft distillery opened its doors with a focus on small-batch spirits that reflect the mountainous character of central West Virginia. The operation produces vodka, whiskey, and moonshine from their facility, which serves as both production space and tasting room for visitors looking to sample locally-made spirits.
Mann brought his vision of craft distilling to a region where moonshine has deep historical roots, but legal distilling was largely absent. The distillery represents part of West Virginia’s growing craft spirits movement, with Mann working to establish quality production standards while honoring traditional Appalachian distilling heritage. The team focuses on hands-on production methods, with Mann overseeing operations from grain to bottle.
Visitors can experience both the production side and finished products in a setting that feels authentically West Virginian. The distillery offers tastings of their core lineup and provides insight into how small-batch spirits are made in the Mountain State. It’s a straightforward operation where you can meet the people making the spirits and understand their approach to craft distilling in rural West Virginia.
