Rugged, wild, turbulent, timeless; the Mississippi River bustles with movement. Centuries ago, these waters carried barrels of whiskey from Appalachia to New Orleans. Dockworkers in the neighborhood called Bywater tapped into the sun-soaked barrels before the city’s coffeehouses and bars poured their share. Today, the team at Seven Three Distilling crafts Bywater Bourbon from Louisiana wheat and corn, and the spirit matures to perfection in our southern heat.

It might seem audacious to expose a whiskey to the Louisiana summers, but New Orleans knows that ingenuity follows the daring. The relentless warmth infuses surprising notes into this honey-crimson bourbon. Apricot and dried fruit complement sweet vanilla notes. Summer wheat yields to undercurrents of mint and chamomile. Full-bodied and rich, Bywater Bourbon is bold without a bit, a tour-de-force of flavor from our Louisiana home to your glass.
