Southern Distilling Company

Incredible event, and leveraging the sponosrship to drive awareness and distribution for the Southern Star Brand. I was on the "route" from Gettysburg, PA through New York, Providence, RI, Boston, MA, Freeport, ME, Owls Head, ME, and Augusta, ME. Very cool experience that ended with the finish line in a small town with close to 25,000 people in attendance. HUGE.

In-market activation, #SouthernStar Bourbon limited edition single barrel release, Cruise-In kickoff event, and a race across America!

If you take your whiskey as seriously as we do, there could be a career for you at Southern Distilling Co. Now’s your chance to join our team of passionate and skilled professionals who are crafting award-winning, world-class bourbons and rye whiskeys right here in North Carolina. 

Happy Anniversary to two of the best: Stacey Vienna Barger and Pete Barger! #familybusiness

#ICYMI "Contract distilling has been part of our business model from the very beginning," our Co-Founder Stacey Vienna Barger told the Bourbon Road podcast. "We today support over 130 different clients with our bulk whiskeys. Some are our standard mash bills and others are entirely custom, made just for customer specifications. "Often we’ll see the awards listing come in and we’ve got a couple of our own that we entered that are winning. And then we see a half dozen of our clients that are following on the list. It’s really pleasing to see all those awards." #contractdistilling #awardwinning #ncwhiskey #bourbon

We finally had a chance to host our friends from the Charlotte FC marketing department at our distillery! What an engaging and fun way to embrace our partnership, highlighted by a facility tour and a tasting led by Pete Barger and Stacey Vienna Barger. #sportsmarketing #southernstar #ncwhiskey

We enjoyed having you! Those rye and bourbon single barrels were fantastic picks indeed!

It was delightful to chat with Kevin Gibson about my company for Fred Minnick's newsletter! Our North Carolina bourbons and rye whiskeys are indeed on the map, with proven success for both our valued clients and our own Southern Star brand. We pride ourselves on making the highest quality products and delivering exemplary customer service at Southern Distilling Company. We cannot wait to have more visitors come see it all in person and enjoy our new tours, cocktails, and bourbon experiences...and, purchase as many bottles as they want to take home and share with friends! 😉

“We love all our friends in Kentucky,” says Co-Founder Vienna Barger. “But we’re looking forward to putting our product on the map.”

We enjoyed hosting you all. We're so proud to be part of the Iredell County community and being part of its strong collaborative efforts towards economic growth.
