John Emerald
Distilling Company

Shared Southern Spirits

John Emerald Distilling is a small batch craft distillery located in beautiful downtown Opelika, Alabama. We offer tours, cocktails, and bottle sales in-house as well as distribute our spirits throughout the country.

From the original three Sharp brothers who ventured to America from Scotland to the namesake of our company, John Emerald Sharp, the Sharps have lived lives of integrity, honoring God, their fellow man and their family.

Watch The Process

Tours are generally offered on the hour from 12 to 4 PM, Monday through Thursday, and from 12 to 5 PM on Friday and Saturday. To ensure that a tour guide is available and that there is space in the tour, it is highly advised that you purchase your tickets ahead of time. You may purchase tickets that include spirit tastings or not. Children under 18 with their parents do not need a ticket.
