Southern Star Rye Bottled-in-Bond is crafted in North Carolina, USA, following strict Bottled-in-Bond standards—distilled in one season, aged five years, and bottled at 100 proof. Made from a rye-forward mash bill, it delivers a bold, golden mahogany pour with layered aromas of toasted oak, caramel, vanilla bean, dried fruit, and herbal spice.
On the palate, expect a smooth yet warming texture, where peppery rye spice leads into brown sugar sweetness and subtle mint and clove complexity. At 50% ABV, it shines neat or with a splash of water, but also elevates classic cocktails like a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
