13th Colony Distilleries Expands Into Arizona And Oklahoma

Americus, Ga. – 13th Colony Distilleries, the oldest operating distillery in Georgia since Prohibition, is expanding into Arizona and Oklahoma this spring, growing the availability of its craft aged and clear liquors to enthusiasts in 13 states.

Maverick Beverage Company and Armada Distributing will distribute 13th Colony in Arizona and Oklahoma, respectively. 13th Colony is also available in Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia with online retail through Seelbach’s and Bourbon Outfitter.

The family-owned and operated distillery is located in South Georgia where an ideal climate has helped age award-winning spirits for 15 years. 13th Colony’s master distiller tastes every barrel of whiskey to ensure it meets the distillery’s high standards, often blending 4-, 5-, and 6-year-old barrels into each batch for a perfect balance of flavor. As a result, the distillery’s bourbons and whiskeys have won high praise.

“Our craft and limited edition whiskeys have driven awareness of our brand with bourbon aficionados across the country, and we’re excited to bring our mix of spirits including vodka and gin to spirit enthusiasts in Arizona and Oklahoma,” said Maxwell Darby, president of 13th Colony Distilleries. “We age to taste, not just to time, making sure every bottle brings our customers high-quality spirits that are worth drinking slow.”

13th Colony Southern Bourbon is a multiple award-winning aged spirit. Bottled at 95 proof, it has a well-rounded flavor with a slightly sweet finish. At a price point under $50, it’s the perfect daily sipper. The award-winning 13th Colony Southern Rye Whiskey walks the line between sweet and salty, drawing its character from the unique toasted French Oak Spiral Finish. At 95 proof and aged between four to six years, Southern Rye Whiskey is an exceptional value under $50.

13th Colony’s clear spirits are equally regarded. 13th Colony Southern Vodka is a platinum-award-winning spirit handcrafted in small batches using water from Georgia’s oldest aquifer. This 80-proof offering is six times distilled and 11 times filtered, resulting in a clean and sophisticated taste at an incredibly approachable price under $15. Completing the list of consumer favorites, 13th Colony Southern Gin is a citrus-forward contemporary gin with a clean, crisp taste. At 82.4 proof, Southern Gin is six times distilled in a state-of-the-art column still and 10 times filtered, delivering a light flavor of juniper and essence of citrus that makes it perfect for cocktails, for under $15.

13th Colony’s limited edition series includes the March 2025 introduction of 113 Bourbon – a higher-proof bourbon with approachability in flavor and price – as well as last year’s commemorative 15th Anniversary Bourbon and the immensely popular Double Oaked Bourbon, with this year’s release coming in fall 2025.
