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 Please do not quote me though.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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This bar does not have prices on their menu. They think they are being cute or sly but that's half the reason to have a menu. This is absolutely unacceptable to make customers guess or have to ask. The service was ok. The tables were extremely sticky, which is disgusting. I'll never go back to a bar that disrespects it's customers like this. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

As i sat there i said I will venture to The brewery behind it. Im so glad these businesses have opened. So close to home. If you are in the westend area check it out read more

I'm not a big Whiskey drinker, but the friends I was with are, so we stopped by! We had soooo much fun at the West End this weekend while we were visiting Atlanta, from Columbus OH. We were helped by the beautiful Anya, who definitely knew what she was talking about and was very helpful in ordering what "our" type of whiskey was. The whiskey itself was delicious. But Anya is what made the experience. Whiskey 3/5 Anya 5/5 Venue 4/5 If I liked whiskey more, i'd say more...but all I have is how great the customer experience was with our bartender. She is incredible. read more

Stopped in here on a not-so-busy Sunday with a date. The large tasting room has black walls with a chalkboard denoting the barrels and their ages. The bartender was really knowledge about the approximately 13 different bottles they had to choose from . We got a flight of 5, 1oz pours and split it. None of them were bad, some of them were great. One of the managers stopped by our table to see how we were enjoying ourselves and we spoke about flavor profiles for a while. He poured us an additional sample of something he thought we may have missed from our flight. Overall a great experience and I will definitely be buying their product in the future. read more

Did a tour with some guy. Knew ZERO about whiskey. Waste of money on the tour. I feel like maybe he was on something. He did say after the tour to one of his regulars that his son was in town and the smoked weed the night prior. Maybe it was something more than weed. Whiskey was ok for being aged only 2-4 years old. ASW really needs to find someone else to do these tours. read more

ASW is a somewhat new addition to the scene in West End and boy is it a welcome addition. I like to make overnight trips to ATL to hang out with the guys or have a date night with my wife and ASW will be on the list for both whenever Im in ATL. We got a tour of the barrel room by the owner that was pretty informative and fun. We got to taste several of the different whiskeys and thats probably what I will do again the next time Im here. Its nice to be able to compare them and see what other people in my group think about the differences in them. Bottom line, if you are looking to try some different whiskeys, ASW is the place! I had a great time at ASW and I will definitely be back! read more

What could be much more exciting than being in a place that has nothing but bourbons and whiskeys. ASW is the place to be if that is your thing.

Tour was short and sweet. Love the host. Great father day gift!. Great ambiance to chill.

I had wonderful time exploring this gem in the West End area of the Beltline. I am not an avid whiskey drinker but my fiancé is. What makes the ASW Whiskey Exchange so great is that they offer options for everyone from the whiskey beginner to the connoisseur. My sister, myself and fiancé all are at different ranges on the spectrum and all were able to enjoy learning about the whiskey used in our drinks of choice. The bartenders were extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the whiskey. The Distillery has various styles seating areas for you the enjoy your drinks. Dogs are also welcome. There is also a gift shop that offers great whiskey products to gifts for your dog. I will definitely be back! read more

Decided to come here for a Sunday Funday double date before the pandemic hit. I've drove past here numerous times and finally got the chance to stop by. It's a couple of businesses in this area and it's all outside or have outdoor access via a patio of some sort. First, parking is plentiful as it's a big parking lot got for use of the multiple businesses there. The entrances are a short walk since parking are in the back side of the buildings. This space has a accessible entrance via a ramp and steps that you enter through the patio; which they had the open because of excellent weather. Now for the good stuff! They have PLENTY of different whiskeys to choose from and the whisky concoctions was delightful! You pay a certain amount to obtain some wooden chips this redeeming those chips for drinks. They also have the option to purchase some delicious snacks as well. If you have a larger appetite, no worries; they are plenty of eateries nearby. Can't wait for outside to open back up to visit again! read more

Been hearing about this place for the lonngesst time, and every time I've been in the area it has always been closed. Thankfully, yesterday i was supposed to be at Wild Haven for an event, so immediately went up to try the boozie shakes. Ordered both the Passion Fruit, and Mule, both were delicious, and pack a big punch, so take it easy! Worked out great as it was sunny, and beautiful weather. I'll be back next month, so looking to try the Bourbons!! read more

One of my favorite places to grab craft cocktails and pours. This is especially true if you love Bourdon. ASW is always known for making a cool vibe, experience, and cocktail tasting melding into an outstanding time. With the area also being a beacon for people gathering, this place is always somewhere that I could spend an afternoon and/or evening. read more

If you want a place to kick back and enjoy a nice cocktail or a fine whiskey, here's your spot! Open set up with scrabble wall, couches, and standing tables. I loved the way they partnered with local craftsmen as well. I went on a Sunday and ordered a spritzer, but want to go back for a date night and some heavier drinks! read more

I've been meaning to try this place for the longest. It's right behind Boxcar up the ramp. Very spacious open concept you can sit inside or at a bar table outside. I came obviously to try the Whiskey but learned that they also distill their own Vodka and Gin. So I tried the drink special which featured their Vodka and it was the best vodka I've tasted. It was reasonably priced and the one drink had a lasting effect for a few hours. The vodka was so smooth! I will definitely be back to try a few other drinks and maybe actually try the whiskey lol read more

I love the atmosphere here with the huge windows, matte black walls, and swanky barrel room. The classy vibe comes to a screeching halt a bit however when you're handed your drink with a striped plastic straw in it. No matter how many times I request no straw, somehow it always ends up served to me. Once, the server apologized and then plucked it out of my drink and into the trash. Womp womp. I don't like drinking out of trash and I wish they'd switch to paper straws that would match the aesthetic a bit more. The drinks are great, location unbeatable, and I'll keep coming back. Hope they improve this one aspect to become a five star hang out! read more

I'm not a whiskey connoisseur, but after being married to a Whiskey/Bourbon enthusiast, I was excited to try this local distillery. I loved how the staff were knowledgeable and willing to walk us first time guests through their distillation process, and talk about the various styles that they make. The place has a really nice vibe for someone who may have their dog with them, or someone whose on a date. It's versatile and comfortable without being too uptight or casual. Because I was a first time visitor, my cousin and I opted to try flights and split a whiskey slushie! I had a 1 oz pour of their Fiddler, Resurgens(a Rye Whiskey), and Druid Hill, while my cousin had their Fiddler Unison(a special batch),Duality, and Optic Promise. You could definitely taste the notes in their Rye Whiskey. I ended up leaving with a mini pack of their top sellers to bring home to my husband's Whiskey collection. I told him we would definitely have to add to our list of places when we go back. read more

I wasn't even a whiskey connoisseur until I visited this place. You walk in and immediately smell the again bourbon is barrels. It's amazing! The oversized games you can play like Jenga and Scrabble, not to mention Pucket (google it). The staff takes time to explain and make sure you select the neat pout or cocktail that you'll enjoy. Matt is awesome and so are the bourbon slushees: just in time for spring and summer. This is a cashless establishment so do keep that in mind unless you just keep some bills for tipping. read more

Babe and I visited for a taste and tour. Time we'll spent. Bourbon (Fiddler) was great, mix drinks are available for purchase as well as light snacks. Such a nice space for a date. You also buy the bourbon or vodka made. Awesome time. read more

So, I've been trying to find a distillery close to home and low key and this definitely hits the spot!! It's super cute spot that's truly a hidden gem to the Historic West End area if you are not familiar. No shortage of parking in this place. Inside is huge and extremely rooming, no feeling of being cramped on one another. The music selection was phenomenal, the perfect Sunday playlist if I don't say so myself. The ladies were very knowledgeable about the menu and helped me pick my new favorite whiskey. I started with the Duality Double Malt Whiskey... superb and a wise choice to start off with smooth but straight to the point, like a great pick up line. I ended with the my favorite cocktail... The Old Fashion. Might I add this was THE BEST Old Fashion I've EVER had. The perfect amount of whiskey and bitters with a touch of this orange juice that coated the mouth in such perfection I could go on and on about it. Needless to say, for a chill Sunday evening, it's the best place to go to and hang with friends, bring bae, or kick it solo. read more

Ii really love the concept and will try it one more time; however, here's the story. I purchased tickets for my husband and myself for Father's Day treats. We traveled with the dogs since the event was Pups, Pops, & Bourbon I dressed my tiny pup in a Fushia pink tutu so, she could enter into the costume contest as stated in the event flier. We stayed until the end and never heard anyone from the staff or owners mention when or where the contest was about to happen. I was very disappointed. Meanwhile, I attend many, many Dog events in Midtown and Buckhead and they definitely treat everything like a beauty contest and I love it! At ASW they just gave the prize to a friend because there were only three dogs that had on an outfit ( one with angel wings, one with a Tutu and mine with the Glitter, full body Tutu! After asking staff what happened to the contest, if there was one, Staff stayed they did not know and they will give us Tokens to compensate! The contest was a bottle of their Bourbon. Staff returned with 7 Tokens and Tokens from King of Pops! My husband was disappointed too, to the fact it was a very blatant cover up! I will try ASW again without my dogs. Maybe they need assistance in setting up dog events!!!! I'm available. Oh, Happy Birthday, Barkley read more
