Our Story
Kick back and let the ice melt.
And let us tell you about how we’re proudly reigniting North Carolina’s distilling tradition with each and every barrel of hand-crafted, locally made bourbon or rye.
If you’re a distillery looking to expand production or a non-distiller producer looking for a way to bring your brand to life, drop us a line.
We’d love to sit down together, learn more about your vision, and see how we can bring your products to life with our grain-to-glass philosophy in our full-service, state-of-the-art distillery.
We make our
clients a priority.
We believe in creating authentic spirits and encourage our clients to get involved in the creation process.
Custom mash bills.
Whether you’re bringing an established recipe or creating an all new flavor profile, our ability to produce your unique spirit at volume with quality and consistency is what sets us apart — your product, your way.
Hands-on partnership.
Feel a strong sense of connection with your product. We encourage a collaborative process at the distillery to see your vision carried through.

Unmatched quality.
A grain-to-glass philosophy.
As a certified craft distiller, we source the majority of our grains within a 20-mile radius of the distillery and mill them right here on site. We have a hand in each aspect of the process by working directly with our local farmers.
State-of-the-art facility.
We currently house two Vendome continuous column stills (18-inch and 14-inch). Plus eleven 5,000-gallon fermentation tanks.
Optimal climate.
Aging barrels in our North Carolina subtropical climate creates ideal conditions to imbue your spirits with a refined character and distinct regional notes.
Innovation in action.
We utilize industry-leading state-of-the-art control and testing protocols, ensuring quality and consistency — batch after batch, barrel after barrel.
Tradition fueled by
innovation.
Our production team brings an array of experience from innovative small batch distilling and product development, as well as top-of-the-line education and training.
