Sourcing & Terroir
Our whiskey begins with locally sourced Carolina corn and rye, including heirloom corn varietals carefully preserved through the agricultural vaults at North Carolina State University.
Aged in American white oak barrels sourced from regional Appalachian cooperages, each expression reflects a deep commitment to regional provenance, craftsmanship, and terroir.
Distilling Process
We use a 350-year distillation tradition, older than any other whiskey distillation process in the U.S.
Regional Pride
North Carolina is the birthplace of American Whiskey. Long before other parts of the country caught on, NC distillers were already thriving–shaped by the defiance of the Regulators, preserved by generations of Appalachian moonshiners, and carried forward today through a deep pride in local craftsmanship and heritage.
