SOUTHERN
CROSS BOURBON
HIGH PROOF | VETERAN OWNED
Founded on the legacy and principles of Marine Raiders from WWII to present day Raiders, Crux Distillery is a veteran owned company with the President Allan Smith, a 4th Generation United States Marine.
The name of our company comes from the Crux which is a prominent constellation in the Southern Sky, also known as The Southern Cross due to its crossed-shaped asterism formed by four bright stars. This was used by WWII Marine Raiders to navigate their rafts from ship to shore and back again.
Special Operations Marine Raiders are the Tip of the Spear and demand excellence in everything they do. When we created Crux Distillery our bourbon had to live up to their legacy and from our awards received, we believe we have done that!
Southern Cross Bourbon is aged over 5 Years, a 45% Wheated Bourbon that we distilled to 100 Proof.
Our bottle is known as the NEW YORKER and is based on the Twin Towers to pay tribute to the victims and all first responders.

Southern Cross Bourbon Reviews
Bourbon Review
Fred Minnick review of Southern Cross Bourbon:
“On the nose there’s a bright anise note that is slightly there on the palate. It’s chewy and grain forward, eventually developing into a lovely granola bar note. It reminds me of one of those Nature’s Granola bars. I definitely liked more the second and third tastings. In all three tastings, the finish was medium.”
Bourbon Review
Breaking Bourbon review of Southern Cross Bourbon:
“Peach, ripe pear, and apricot weave their way through the sip to various degrees and combine with graham cracker, baking bread, caramel chews, vanilla custard, and finally a light and quick baking spice note in the finish.”
Swift|Silent|Deadly review of Southern Cross Bourbon:
“Southern Cross is one of my new go-to bottles. I’m not a connoisseur, but I do enjoy some good bourbon and have some nice bottles. SCB is up there with the best of them, and that’s no lie.”
