6 Must-Try Foods in Asheville, North Carolina
- AFAR
"A craft distillery that highlights Appalachian ingredients, this operation produces whiskey from locally grown corn and grain while also crafting distinctive spirits from foraged regional botanicals. Offerings extend beyond whiskey to include house-made amaro, an Appalachian-style fernet, and a nocino made from wild North Carolinian black walnuts, reflecting a strong sense of place and a focus on local, wild-sourced flavors." - Julie H. Case
Seven years since my last visit and this distillery has only gotten better with age. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the spirits they serve, they have refined the experience into an art. Will be back again... hopefully before another seven years slips through my fingers.

The atmosphere here is amazing. There was a live DJ, like an old school one. He had his crate of records and a turntable setup, and he played nothing but bangers. The liquor was also awesome. I had a 7 and 7 and their Appalachian Old Fashioned. Both were delectable. I’d highly recommend this place.

Love Eda Rhyne! It’s always great to find a distillery that focuses on the local flora. The stories behind their spirits really make you appreciate what you’re enjoying. The bar team has always been welcoming and informative. Highly recommended.

Eda Rhyne is by far the best bar I have ever frequented. It’s both a destination bar and a locals spot. Rhett, Chris and Chrissy have created a rare and incredible spot. Beautiful cocktails, great conversations, and an amazing atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot to everyone that comes through Asheville.
