1000 Piers Barrel Rested Gin: A Coastal Spirit with a Southern Soul
Discover the perfect intersection of coastal botanicals and North Carolina whiskey heritage. 1000 Piers Barrel Rested Gin takes our award-winning, 22-botanical Coastal Carolina Gin and elevates it through the art of maturation. This is a spirit for the adventurer—a "bridge" gin that marries the bright, aromatic complexity of a London Dry with the rich, honeyed warmth of a fine aged spirit.
The Union of Coast and High Country
The foundation of this spirit is our flagship Coastal Carolina Gin, celebrated for its vibrant citrus and lush botanical profile. To add a new dimension of character, we rest this spirit in Double Rye barrels sourced directly from our friends at Southern Distilling in Statesville, NC.
-
The Resting Process: Time spent in charred oak allows the gin to breathe, softening the botanical edges and drawing out the deep, spicy soul of the rye whiskey previously held within the wood.
-
North Carolina Heritage: By using barrels from a local Statesville distillery, we ensure this spirit remains a true product of the region—capturing the essence of the Carolina coast and the craft of the Piedmont in a single bottle.
A Profile of Wood and Whisper
The result of this resting period is a gin of remarkable amber clarity and enhanced viscosity.
-
The Botanical Backbone: Our signature notes of orange, lemongrass, and juniper remain, but they are now intertwined with the toasted qualities of the barrel.
-
The Rye Influence: The Double Rye barrels impart a sophisticated layer of baking spice, vanilla, and a hint of charred oak, providing a savory depth that lingers long after the first sip.
The Sophisticated Serve
1000 Piers Barrel Rested Gin is a versatile powerhouse. It possesses the structural integrity to reinvent classic gin cocktails like the Negroni or Martinez, yet it carries enough character and "barrel-aged" warmth to be enjoyed neat or over a large rock, much like a premium whiskey.
"Coastal brightness meets Piedmont spice. A barrel-aged masterpiece that honors the craft of North Carolina distillation."

Tasting Notes
Nose The bouquet is a sophisticated dialogue between forest and field. The initial brightness of fresh citrus and piney juniper from our Coastal Carolina base is beautifully mellowed by the influence of the oak. It opens with aromas of toasted vanilla and soft caramel, followed by the distinctive, peppery spice of North Carolina rye. A faint hint of dried orange peel and charred wood rounds out a nose that is both familiar and intriguingly deep.
Palate On the palate, the texture is remarkably rich and oily, thanks to its time spent in the barrel. The vibrant "citrus symphony" of the original gin has evolved into a marmalade-like sweetness, seamlessly integrating with the warm baking spices of the Double Rye wood. Notes of cinnamon, clove, and toasted oak dance alongside the botanical core, creating a complex, layered mouthfeel that bridges the gap between a premium gin and a fine whiskey.
Finish The finish is long, warming, and exceptionally smooth. The botanical brightness of lemongrass and grapefruit makes a final, refreshing appearance before being overtaken by the savory, lingering spice of the rye. It concludes with a gentle, dry oak tannin and a touch of honeyed vanilla, leaving the palate satisfied and ready for another sip.
