History

Red Bordner Distillery was established in October 2014 out of Red's desire to share his proud family heritage with a larger audience. Located in Boiling Springs, SC just east of what he calls 'home'. Red produces spirits in the only way he knows, and today it is legal to buy and share. The mash is mixed in-house and only the finest ingredients are used, ensuring that each bottle is produced as the highest quality spirit of its kind.

Production

Red Bordner Distillery makes mash in-house and uses only the finest ingredients for exceptional flavor. Each batch is tasted and approved by Red Bordner himself, and the products are bottled in-house and sold as high-quality spirits.
