Advertorial Feature
Statesville’s Modern Whiskey House
A working distillery with a tasting room built for long conversations: flights, craft cocktails, bottles, and behind-the-scenes tours offered throughout the week.
Southern Distilling Company is based in historic Statesville, North Carolina, a place with deep spirits history long before Prohibition. Their tasting room sits inside the distillery itself, with clear sightlines into production and a bar program designed to keep the pace unhurried. Come for a flight, stay for a cocktail, and if you’re curious, book a tour and see how the operation runs.

The Place
Field Notes
A tasting room with a view of the work
This is not a retail counter tucked in the corner. The tasting room is located inside the distillery with an “amazing view” of the working operation, with cocktails, snacks, bottle purchases, and tours available every day of the week.
Detail
Copper, steel, and a clean layout. It reads like a place that’s meant to be toured, not hidden.
