Gorget Distilling’s name has a unique tie to both South Carolina and the birth of our country as a nation. The word gorget means a piece of armor worn around the throat in battle. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, William Moultrie was commissioned to design a flag to signal South Carolina troops. He took the blue from the soldier’s uniform and the crescent shape from the cap, designing the Moultrie or Liberty Flag. Gorget Distilling Co. was founded in 2015 by three local gentlemen who wanted to create not only a buzz about the gorget, but a following for their fine, handmade, local spirits. Isn’t it about time you #Revolutionizeyourspirit?
Gorget is a Craft distillery producing Rum, Vodka, Whiskey and Bourbon in small batches. Our Grains come from local surrounding farms in the Midlands including Belger Farms. Corn for our bourbon is crushed at Boykin Mill, which is 100+ year old water powered stone grist mill. Something you must see!
