In partnership with Charlotte Football Cub, North Carolina-based Southern Distilling Company just released a special edition Southern Star Double Shot Bourbon Cream Liqueur bottle. Donning the Charlotte FC’s iconic black and blue team colors, the limited-edition collector’s bottle, inspired by the Club’s new “Carolina Kit: Explore”, will be available for purchase exclusively at Southern Distilling Company’s Statesville Tasting Room beginning March 29 while supplies last, the company states.
Beginning April 13, the special edition bottle, which also features artwork showcasing the diverse landscape of the Carolinas, will be available in North Carolina ABC liquor stores and select South Carolina retailers, according to the company.
“As the official craft bourbon of Charlotte FC, we are proud to be able to expand our current partnership through this collaboration,” shared Pete Barger, co-founder and CEO of Southern Distilling Company, in a news release. “Being a North Carolina native, I am excited to cheer on our Queen City team while sipping on a Double Shot cocktail.”
Creamy Liqueur Goodness
Fans attending Charlotte FC matches can also enjoy Southern Star Double Shot bourbon cream liquor at several locations throughout the stadium, the company states.
“We’re delighted to partner with Southern Distilling Company to bring this specially crafted product to the marketplace in a beautifully designed bottle inspired by our Carolina Kit: Explore,” said Charlotte FC President Joe LaBue in the release. “Expanding our brand throughout the Carolinas is a strategic priority around the new primary kit, and this collaboration presented a unique way to amplify a great partnership with a strong local brand.”
Southern Star Double Shot is a blend of cream and sweet whiskey, with a hint of espresso-roast coffee, according to the company. It can be enjoyed chilled, over ice, mixed in a cocktail, stirred into coffee and even poured over ice cream.
