FAQs

Do you distill your whiskey?

Yes, 13th Colony distills our whiskeys and we also source our specific mash bill to keep up with growing demand. 100% of all our barrels are aged in our warehouse, as we believe the South Georgia climate is a huge differentiator to our flavor profile.

Does 13th Colony use any additional additives, color or flavors in the whiskey?

No, 13th Colony does not add additives, coloring, or flavorings to our aged products.

Why does Southern Bourbon & Rye Whiskey not have an age statement on the label?

Each batch of our whiskey is uniquely selected by our master distiller, Graham Arthur, and we don’t want to put handcuffs on his process. Both the Bourbon and Rye have aged a minimum of 4 years, but our process is to let Graham try every barrel and decide when it meets our standards of flavor. If he doesn’t think a 4-year-old barrel is ‘ready’, he will try it again at 5 years or 6 years. As a result, all our Bourbon & Rye are aged between 4-6 years.

What states are you distributed in?

How do I get 13th Colony products in my local liquor store?

We’re so glad you asked. Our spirits are distributed through a three-tier distribution channel. We sell to a distributor, who in turn sells to local liquor stores, restaurants and bars. If we aren’t in your local store, simply ask them to put in 13th Colony. If we are not in your state, ask your liquor store to ask their distributor to consider carrying us. We want to grow, and we appreciate your support.

Do you sell your spirits at the Distillery?

Yes, we sell our everyday core products in our tasting room, including distillery-only releases like our Clear13 White Whiskey. Every bottle purchased in the tasting room is signed personally by Graham Arthur, our master distiller.

Limited releases are available on a limited basis (we sell out fast) and we occasionally have distillery-only, single-barrel releases that highlight special bottles and experimental offerings.

If I have a large group, can I schedule a private tour?

Yes, we schedule private tours for groups of 6+. Please contact our Tours Manager, Megan Sherret: msherret@thirteenthcolony.com
