    Christian, Israel and Kaydee- amazinggggg Great tasting experience, Very knowledgeable and entertaining.

    Now this joint right here is wonderful! A great space to enjoy with friends and family. I am not sure if it can be reserved for a party. I do hope so! The drink menu seems good. I played it safe since it was my first time there so I ordered an Old Fashioned. Amazing!!! The bartenders were extremely cheerful and fun. Because I enjoyed the drink so well, I want to go down the menu and try every drink. Whiskey is what they serve but there are drinks with other liquors. The music was really good. They do serve snacks like popcorn. Oh...the prices of the drinks are shocking...in a good way! I believe this is a black-owned establishment. Please do not quote me though. I loved it here! Kudos!

    The place is just a wide open space so I guess there's plenty of room for large parties. There was a live band playing that did not have the effect I think they wanted; it was so loud that it was impossible to hear each other so we sat outside. I definitely caught some attitude from the bartender when I asked her to surprise me with the composition of my whiskey flight.

    We really enjoy ASW. The ambiance is good, spacious, comfortable. We have been a couple times and staff is always friendly and willing to offer suggestions. I like their whiskey quite a bit. If I had a criticism, it would be the depth of their cocktail menu. They really only offer 5-6 choices at any given time, and that includes theirs non-whiskey offerings. Now, what they make, they make really well. This West End location has the benefit of food and other drink options all right there as well. We have not tried any of their food yet as we usually wind up eating at The Boxcar first! Definitely a nice spot to chill with friends and have some drinks.

    Great (and spacious) spot with knowledgeable and nice staff and some cool sips to try. Generous flight pours (I'd recommend any of the char selections) and great mixed drinks. Definitely worth ducking into!

    ASW has multiple locations, and they offer different cocktail menus at each one, which is really cool! They produce different liquors: whiskey, vodka, gin, and bourbon This location is in the West End on the Beltline, next to Monday Night Brewing and Wild Heaven. They share a huge parking lot, so parking is never a concern! It's really nice and open inside. They have huge windows that let in a lot of light, and they also open them on nice days. They have rotating frozen cocktails that I usually go for at the Battery location, but this time, I decided to try their lavender cocktail. So yum! My husband ordered the old fashioned and enjoyed it.

    Beautiful and delicious cocktails made with high-quality whiskey. I love ASW whiskey. I got the Figgy Smalls. The dried fig was a nice touch! Right on the Beltline, walkable to breweries. Plenty of seating inside, with some outdoor seating. Highly recommend!

    My family had an excellent experience at the ASW Whiskey Exchange! We happened to schedule our tour on the same day that Jim, one of the founders, gave the tour. He shared a wealth of knowledge and some great bourbon. We enjoyed our time there and the great music and drinks at the bar!

    A vibe. Passed the vibe check! We tried the frozen drinks. One was a mule and the other was a rum and coke. Delicious. They also did not hold back on the alcohol lol. They have comfortable couches, seats, tables and lounge areas. They provided games like chess, checkers, cards, scrabble etc. love this area for food drinks and a great time.

    Picture to how the story began with AWS

    July 26, 2020 Ordered two Old Fashioned drinks and they were good, albeit on the sweet side. Also purchased a bottle of their fine Fiddler whiskey, which was a 2018 Gold Medal winner in the San Francisco World Sprits Competition, to share on an upcoming family reunion. The copper distillers are gorgeous works of machinery. And the story of AWS' beginning is also intriguing (note the link the email for the full story did not work): "Our Story: The Way Back As far as we know, the story of ASW Distillery begins in a number of places: Ireland. France. England. Ireland In the 1700s, an Irish native we'll call Searlas Tompson tasted uisge beathe for the first time, a batch smuggled by the light of the moon to evade King George I's whiskey tax collectors. Whether it was the taste or the danger or both, Searlas could not shake whiskey from his mind or his palate (part of this may have been its 130 proof). The liquid's warmth powered him through the damp winter and slowed time during the summer, brightening each season in its own way. As rents climbed on the Isle of Eire, Searlas and his family sought out the fertile expanses of Pennsylvania, a region that soon became famous for its rye whiskey. Of all the gifts Searlas' children inherited, perhaps his taste for whiskey was the most appreciated." When I arrived it was 8 minutes to closing on a Sunday evening. I had very little time to get to know the feel of the place but I have a feeling I'll be back.

    Slushie de Passion
    Jill B.

    I popped in for a whiskey slushie during the GASATL car meetup (last Sunday of the month from 1-4). The ASW exchange bartender was peppy and informative; she warned that the slushie was about 3 pours of whiskey. The Slushie de Passion was delicious and potent! I thought it was going to melt insanely fast in today's heat but it maintained that partial frozen state until I finished. The establishment looks like it'd be a great place to hangout and meet friends but I didn't was to linger with my two kids in tow. The high ceilings and large garage doors allow for great airflow even when it's hot pushed. There is so much free parking, which isn't common in Atlanta. I'm looking forward to another slushie next month.

    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.

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.

We stuck to cider only amongst the group even though there are some other cocktails available. I packed some charcuterie items from home to bring with us to nibble on during our visit.
