Historie

Swamp Fox Distilling Co. is named after Sir Francis Marion, the legendary militia leader known as 'The Swamp Fox'. According to the site, you can see some of his traits in each of their premium small-batch spirits, and the company focuses on small batches and high quality. It is mentioned that the production includes a range of different spirits and that you can visit the distillery to get free tours and tastings.

Produktion/Fremstilling

The company describes itself as producing premium small-batch spirits. For Continental Whiskey, unorthodox aging techniques with small casks, added oak chips, and taking the best part of the distillation to achieve full flavor and a fairly young whiskey that can compete with older expressions are mentioned. Emphasis is placed on handcrafted, small batches and a storytelling around the Swamp Fox figure in the production. Additionally, several different types of spirits (rye, malt, moonshine, white whiskey, and a bourbon in the future) are mentioned, indicating a broad range without specific cooking or aging methods detailed beyond Continental Whiskey.
