    A delicious bourbon based beverage :)
    David G.

    I enjoyed both the tour and a cocktail in the barroom afterwards. The tour was a fairly typical whiskey tasting tour, with our knowledgeable guide explaining their whiskey making processes, including unique takes, the history of ASW, and well as taking us back to where some barrels were stored where, of course, we had a tasting. We stayed for a drink afterwards in the barroom, where the cocktails were reasonably priced and delicious. They also have non-whiskey based cocktails for those who prefer gin or vodka. The bartenders were also knowledgeable, and the room itself has a somewhat masculine feel with, big couches, wood and metal seats/tables, and some barroom games.

    I came with some friends for a St. Patrick's day whiskey tasting! It was super easy to find and there's plenty of parking in the lot or on the street. Our guide Colleen was awesome and very patient which we appreciated as we came a little late! When we arrived, we went into one of the large back rooms with barrels lined all over the walls. I was surprised how big the location was! We had multiple whiskeys to taste and Colleen did a great job entertaining us with stories about the distillery's history and was super knowledgeable about the distilling process! The whiskeys themselves were fantastic (Druid Hills is a must try) and I learned so much. Thanks for a great experience and can't wait to visit again soon!

    This was my first time coming to ASW and they did not disappoint! I signed up for their St. Patrick's your on Friday evening with Colleen as our guide. She was really patient given we were a little late with the rain which we greatly appreciated! Once we walked in, we were greeted and walked back to a room with barrels. We each had a place may with our tasting whiskies laid out and the descriptions for each which was awesome! Colleen did an excellent job giving us an introduction to whiskey and some direction on how to taste and some history which was awesome! She did a great job the whole tour. We tasted 2 of the whiskies and then went on the tour of the rest of the facility and she talked us through the whole distilling process. And then we finished the tasting. It was all super fun and the Druid Hill whiskey was tasty and the gin we tried was great too. Colleen was an excellent tour guide and I am so glad we came by! Can't wait to come back.

    This is a great spot for before a Braves game when you don't want to deal with the crowds at the crazy bars! Definitely a nicer spot with exciting cocktails. This is great for an older crowd looking to grab a glass of bourbon before the game! We loved the slushies they had outside. Inside was nice and clean as well.

    One of my favorite venues in ATL. The entire complex, with the east pole coffee shop, sweetwater brewery and the distillery is awesome, and ASW is the crown jewel. The place reminds me of Industry City in Brooklyn.

    Asw distillery is a cool place to check out for aficionados and casual sippers. The staff here is very knowledgeable on their drinks and offer great suggestions based on what your likes are. They have an interesting pairing menu which you can a drink up with a ice cream pop. I was recommended the fiddler by my colleague so I picked that and it was paired with the banana pudding ice cream pop. Who would've thought that pairing would work and work very well. My group didn't sign up for a tour but the team at ASW was so nice and offered us to tag a long with the crew that signed up so we got to step back to see the machinery and hear how the process goes. The distillery has seats inside and out so there's ample space. Definitely a great place worth checking out

    Im not a fan of Gin, but buddy, let me tell you something. This is the shizzznnit. Ask for Winterville barrel rested

    You have got to book a tasting and tour at ASW distillery. They have 3 locations in the Metro and are great folks to hang out with. The staff and the tour guide Israel were amazing.

    Pretty decent whiskey. I've definitely had better but it's not bad at all. We opted for the flight which included water. There's available tours for the distillery & tasting options for most menu items. Pre made cocktails were also available on tap. Outside seating is available & there's small amenities such as bean bag throwing. Seating can be difficult if the place is crowded but I'd be comfortable staring that this place is a must for whiskey aficionados.

    Took a buddy of mine to a whiskey tasting day (his birthday) on me to several points of interest in Atlanta. Here was the first step. ASW ( stands for American Spirit Works)) located in the back alley past Sweetwater Brewery in North Buckhead off 85 from 75. We were the first to arrive to what they would say a understated adult play room. After a flight of whiskeys/bourbons, your choice of 4 for. Reasonable price of 24 dollars. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Understanding the nuances of each bourbon and able to convey in spoken language is to be noted. We enjoys all but the last sample which was a brandy. However being a chef, I could see how the flavor profile could work in a dessert. Caramel apple notes with a hint of nutmeg and raw alcohol. Hmmm Shortly after we finished the flight they called for a gangle and we entered the back room for a discussion and tour of the distillery. Very talented gentleman, knowledgeable and humorous. Great in describing why they won so many medals and recognition for the whiskeys and bourbons they carry. Different price points on different limited quantity bottles of bourbons. If you are looking for something different this is a good place to start...I would suggest going in the early evening to go at it all night. Cheers!

    I came here for a private event. The facility is huge. I definitely plan to come back for a tour.

    Bustletown vodka
    Karen M.

    What a cool place. Allison was so knowledgeable about the vodka,gin and bourbons that were sold here. She introduced us to the other Staff members. She was so personable. We really enjoyed our time there. We walked in to buy a bottle of bustletown. This is their own vodka that they distill. We ended up getting so much more. So much that goes in to making/distilling the different bourbons they have. We were able to try different flavors. It was just a great experience. My husband really loved the bourbons and I personally loved their vodka. It's called bustletown and it is very clean. Dare I say as good as if not better the T bran I normally drink. If you're ever in the battery in Atlanta. Give it a try.

    The staff were very friendly and offered some tasting options. I did a simple flight of 4 (bourbon and whisky). 3 of the 4 suited me just fine.

    Ask the Community - ASW Distillery

    Is the bar open to the public or is it only open to tours and private events?

    Both. It looks like their hours shift but the tasting room was open 1-6pm when we were there with sporadic free tours. We were their 2 hours and saw about 3 tours happen. There are no free samples like other Distilleries/Breweries :)

    Are children allowed?

    100%! They were great when we brought our 14 month old!!!

    Anyone know if they're dog friendly? Can't seem to find an answer anywhere

    Strong sips, chill vibes -- but not for the faint of heart!…read moreWe stopped by Independent Distilling Company after finding a great Groupon for a flight tasting (up to 6 spirits). Heads up -- free street parking is available, but the road is narrow, so hug that curb! From the outside, the place might seem small, but the inside opens up nicely. The decor leans rustic, with stools and cozy couches for seating. We opted for the stools and visited right at opening, so the owner and bartender were still getting things going. The tasting includes nearly their entire spirit menu -- 6 out of 7 offerings -- and let me tell you, these pours are not light. Each one was a bold, high-proof experience (bartender mentioned 72 proof, if I remember right). I can handle my liquor, and even I was surprised by the strength! We stayed for about an hour to let the tastings settle in. Out of the six, I personally liked two -- my fiancée didn't enjoy any, but that's just personal taste. I wouldn't return for myself, but it was absolutely worth visiting at least once and supporting a local spot. Plus, you can only imagine how great their cocktails are based on the flavor of these spirits. Here's a quick breakdown of what we sampled: Independent White Rum - Light molasses with grassy, peppery notes. Silver medal winner. Barrel Aged Rum - Butterscotch, honey, oaky vanilla. Voted Best Georgia Distilled Spirit. Hellbender Corn Whiskey - Strong corn flavor, hay, green apple, and caramel popcorn vibes. Fowler's New World Gin - Bright and botanical. Notes of citrus, herbs, and spice with an American twist. Hellbender Bourbon - Oak-forward with vanilla, burnt orange, and baking spice. Classic and robust. Outlier No. 21 (Port Cask Finish) - Aged 9 years, finished in port casks. Deep, rich, fruity, and complex. If you're into small-batch craft spirits with character and kick, definitely swing by. Just don't come on an empty stomach -- you've been warned.

    I stopped in on a random Saturday afternoon and ended up having a great time. They distill their…read moreown Rum (white and aged) and whiskey (rye, bourbon & corn). They offer flight tastings and cocktails. The atmosphere is very relaxed. While they don't serve food, they have food vendors rotate. On the day I went, Mama's Empanadas were scheduled. They hadn't arrived by the time I left , so I'm hoping to catch them another time. The bartender was fantastic and checked on me often. Their cocktails are very unique. The two I had were delicious, but my favorite was the "Rock You Like A". It's a tiki inspired cocktail that contains rum, macadamia nut syrup, orange cordial, guava syrup, grenadine and lime. I really enjoyed my time here and look forward to returning.

    This is a must try spot in Marietta!…read more I have to say I loved every moment of my experience at Atlanta Hard Cider. From the space to the beverages to the service, there was not a single miss here. This is not your typical warehouse or industrial park brewery/distillery. A beautiful brick, stand alone building greets you with a nice outdoor seating around. Inside is a beautifully decorated space with tall ceilings and tons of natural light pouring in. There is a long bar to the left and a merchandise area to the right with seating in the middle. Along the back is an exposed brewhouse you can look down on. There are over a dozen different flavors of cider you can choose from ranging between dry and sweet. You will also find their spirits to enjoy neat or in one of the hand crafted cocktails. I enjoyed my flight of ciders but was blown away by the cocktails. Our server, Sarah, was TOP NOTCH. Super fun, friendly, and energetic. She was extremely knowledgeable to all the product as well as the history of the business. Her passion made for an enjoyable experience. I cannot recommend this place enough and will absolutely be returning on a regular basis.
