Historie

Southern Artisan Spirits is located in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, at the foot of Crowders Mountain and is more than a distillery – it is a culinary destination, an event and gathering place for both locals and visitors. According to our site, Kings Mountain has a spiritual history, and the town was the first in the United States to vote dry in October 1874. Today Southern Artisan Spirits is the third licensed distillery in North Carolina. We are a family-owned distillery, aiming to revive the lost art of craft distillation. Each batch is made with patience, precision and passion using the freshest organic ingredients to produce spirits that are refined and full of flavor. Whether you enjoy our drinks at the bar, buy a bottle, or visit the place for the experience, we are proud to share our craft with you.

Produktion / Fremstilling

At Southern Artisan Spirits we distill Cardinal Gin and Turning Point Rye on-site – both produced in-house with Southern-style precision and passion. Cardinal Gin is produced in small batches and used in a curated lineup of signature cocktails. The gin is distilled using exclusive techniques found nowhere else in the United States, and is infused with the world's freshest certified organic botanicals. Our cocktails are built around local ingredients, freshly pressed juice and house syrups and infusions, and there is always something seasonal to offer.
