Eda Rhyne Distilling Company is one of the most original and deeply rooted craft spirits producers in America — an Asheville, North Carolina distillery that has done something almost no other producer has attempted: built an entire spirits program around the folk medicine traditions, wild botanicals, and Appalachian terroir of the Southern mountains. Named after a ghost as mysterious as some of its ingredients, Eda Rhyne was founded by Rett Murphy and Chris Bower with a singular mission — to use folk knowledge passed down for generations and the extraordinary botanical bounty of Western North Carolina to create spirits that could only come from this place. The Appalachian Mountains are home to over 2,500 plant species, more than 1,100 of which have known medicinal properties — and Eda Rhyne's team wild forages many of their botanicals directly from the Blue Ridge Mountain slopes surrounding the distillery, supplemented by ingredients grown on Murphy's own Yancey County farm. Every expression is produced in small batches using heirloom grains and non-GMO corn distillate, non-chill filtered, and free of artificial additives. The core lineup spans three distinct amaro expressions — the bracingly bitter Appalachian Fernet with over 40 wild-foraged botanicals, the smoky rabarbaro-style Amaro Oscura built on open-fire-smoked rhubarb root, and the delicate wildflower-driven Amaro Flora — each one a genuine taste of Appalachian terroir that no Italian or European amaro can replicate.
