ASW Whiskey Distillery Is Opening at Battery Atlanta Near Braves Truist Park, Cobb County - Eater Atlanta

"ASW became the first whiskey distillery in the city of Atlanta since Prohibition when it opened nearly five years ago along Armour Drive. The distillery now produces a selection of whiskeys, bourbons, and a single malt from its flagship Armour Drive facility, run by master distiller Justin Manglitz. ASW’s custom-built, dual Vendome copper pot system includes transparent U tubes encased in glass, which allows Manglitz to see the distillate flowing from the condenser. The system was built specifically for ASW and has since been replicated by other distilleries around the country — one being Jim Beam." - Beth McKibben

Really cool hangout spot. You can buy nearly all their bourbon here - and their other spirits as well. Great service. Great cocktails and flights that you can pick what you have. 100% great time.

American Spirit Works is a fantastic event venue that we've had the pleasure of experiencing firsthand! The mix of rustic and industrial vibes—exposed brick, wooden beams, and tons of open space—gives it so much character. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or a big celebration, the atmosphere just feels warm and inviting. Plus, the indoor and outdoor spaces flow really well, making it super versatile for any kind of gathering. We’ve had the chance to bring our photo booth to events here, and it’s always a fun time. The staff is great and every event just feels special. If you’re looking for a venue that’s both unique and full of charm, this is definitely the spot!

Had the pleasure of hosting a client event at the distillery and was throughly impressed with the venue. Colleen McCreanor was a great help with coordinating to make sure my clients had a great time. With Colleen and Jim Chasteen providing the distillery’s background and tour, we were able to learn the inner workings all while sampling great spirits. I highly recommend this venue and I plan on having future events at ASW.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue! ASW was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning, with plenty of space for guests to mingle and celebrate. The staff was exceptional—attentive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. A special shoutout to Collen, who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and ensure every detail was just right. The bar staff was also fantastic, serving up amazing drinks that our guests raved about. Everyone who attended was blown away by how beautiful the venue was and how seamless the entire experience felt. We highly recommend ASW for weddings or any special event—truly top-notch!

Nice spot to explore different whiskeys, but unfortunately, none of them were to my taste. The price per bottle felt a bit steep for the flavor profiles.

ASW Distillery provided the perfect setting for our book club meeting, and I can't say enough about the experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, making us feel right at home. The tour was fascinating, offering a glimpse into the intricate process of crafting their exceptional spirits. Each step was explained with passion and expertise, and we were all captivated by the story behind the distillery. We sampled a variety of their finest products, each one more delicious than the last. The flavors were rich and complex, a true testament to their craftsmanship. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, ideal for our group of ten women to relax, chat, and enjoy the afternoon. ASW Distillery went above and beyond to ensure our book club meeting was memorable. Their attention to detail and dedication to creating a fantastic experience did not go unnoticed. We all left with smiles on our faces and bottles in our hands, eager to return for another visit. Highly recommend for any group event or casual visit – this place is a gem! Five stars all the way!

Had a super nice time taking a tour, having a cocktail or three and playing some games. They also had some bourbon for sale that I don't readily see in the local liquor store. The bar staff were all super kind & accommodating! I will definitely go back, as it was a LOT of fun!

Ambiance: Distillery with an Industrial/athletic inspired-ambiance perfect for enjoying a bourbon flight! Great spot for a pre-Braves game cocktail. Fun atmosphere, great drinks. I loved how creative they were with the bourbon flights - using playing cards for the tasting description! Merch available to purchase. Street/garage parking (I would recommend using a ride share to get here ). Clean & fast service. Definitely is crowded before the games! We enjoyed their bourbons. Fun for a night out with friends, date night, or day of bourbon tastings.

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.

A friend gifted me with a behind-the-scenes tour of ASW Distillery for my birthday last fall, and I finally got to enjoy the experience today! We had a wonderful time, and left with several bottles of our new favorite spirits. Miriam was terrific - she gave my wife and I a private tour and explained everything from how the company founders met as students at UGA and went on to start American Spirit Whiskey, which has an innovative approach to crafting high quality spirits. We're not big rye fans, but we sampled and loved the Resurgens Rye, and also flipped over Duality. It's super smoky and is going to improve my Old Fashioneds by a million percent. Finally, the Winterville gin is some of the best I've ever tasted - very floral and light. Get the strawberry gimlet if you have time for a cocktail, and you'll see what I mean! The tasting room is industrial chic, and the space is just big enough to feel intimate while allowing folks space to relax. Couldn't recommend ASW any more!

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.

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.

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.

Not really a whiskey or bourbon drinker but came here for an event and had a great time. It's a really cool vibe inside the tasting room with some couches and some high-too seating options. Originally I thought to order a float to taste different kinds since I'm not really sure what I like when it comes to whiskey but the host nice bartender suggested I do a cocktail so I'm not drinking the liquor straight. They offer vodka cocktails too but I was immured to the whiskey since that's their thing. Unsure of what to get, I went with the old fashioned and it did not disappoint! It was so smooth and if I had not been driving probably would have pounded a few more. Really fun spot and I'd like to come again and bring friends when they visit from out of town and make sure we get dropped off/picked up!

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

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.

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.

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 was minding my business on a Saturday after when I was invited to ASW and I was pleasantly surprised. Good cocktails, chill laid back vibe a place you can bullshit with your friends all day long. My only negative NO FOOD. We had to order uber eats to tide us over until we left. Please have food trucks here on the weekends and maybe sell snacks to pair with the drinks. I will be back.

Tucked away off Monroe Dr near Piedmont. Nice spacious room. With room where private events can be held. Next door was The Stave Room. The event I came for was; Atlanta's Hometown Whiskey Distillery ASW Distillery presents Whiskey and Comedy Night! The hosts, Andrew Stanley and Dedrick Flynn coupled Conedy with ASW's award winning selection of whiskey and cocktails. It was a fun time. The bartenders were so friendly with great suggestions. We got 5 tokens for drinks. This comedyshowcase definitely kept things "PG-13". And made a few digs at the audience. It was a memorable night filled with delicious drinks (including ASW's galaxy-renowned 2nd Best Old Fashioned which was delicious), laughter, and all around good times. I had 2 tokens left which they said i can redeem on a later date. I will be back. Check it out. Distilleries and Breweries are the newest Trend.. Im all for it.

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.

I went for a tour and tasting on May 16th + could not have better things to say. We were greeted by Halley, who was also our bartender for the evening. She couldn't have been nicer. For a novice whisky drinker, she explained in detail the different options they had available. I had the American Spirit Silver Whisky mixed with cucumber + lime soda. It was fantastic! After looking around and getting our drinks, Chad, their Chief Acorn Officer, gave us a tour of their facility, shared some humor with experiences in building their facility and shared lots of great information. Thank you to ASW for hosting us and the great experience for our group. Your facility and space is beautiful and welcoming, your whisky is great and you have a great group of people there. I will definitely be back.

Love to support local business and glad I made it out to ASW finally! Service was a 10/10 all around. The woman we bought our tokens from explained the whole process thoroughly. The bartenders made great suggestions and really cared to listen to preferences. For example, I'm not a huge whiskey on the rocks girl so I really wanted a cocktail, but figured I should sample some whiskey solo since we were there. When I mentioned this, the bartender asked which cocktail I was going to get, as well as which whiskeys I typically enjoy, so she could make the best suggestion to get my tasting off to a great start. I had the Burns Night which had the perfect hint of smoke for me. I then switched to a Hot Toddy that was great for a late January day. One of the owners heard we wanted to do a tour and personally asked our group if we would be okay waiting as a large group had just arrived and he wanted to accommodate as many people as possible. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness and hospitality. The tour itself was fine--quite straightforward as there is not a lot to see and much of their production has been moved to another location. It was still cool to hear the story of ASW's beginnings straight from the owner, though. One of the employees also let us peek in the swanky investor's room. The space was sort of an industrial meets fancy beach cottage vibe that works well and is both cool and inviting. There isn't a whole lot to do other than drink and chat, but they offer a few games.

Went here for a Halloween event and loved this place! Feels like a hidden gem! The staff were incredible- kind and helpful and knowledgeable. The whiskey was great- some I loved, some not so much. I was pretty conflicted with the apple (trying too hard) but others were delightful. Loved the fiddler. Yum. The space is gorgeous and spacious. It's a bit out there, though. All the way where Sweetwater is. Definitely want to come back again.

I follow a few Instagram blogs, and I came across a picture of ASW while scrolling one night. I've never been a beer girl, so breweries don't excite me. I like a good whiskey and vodka sometimes, so I was excited to visit. ASW Distillery didn't let me down. ASW hasn't been open to the public for very long, but I understand why. I like being able to see how something is made, taste it by itself, and in a cocktail. ASW is one distillery that allows me to do all three. It's right around the corner from Sweetwater Brewery and is in the same industrial complex as the Stave Room event venue. I really like the colors and the layout. There were sofas, high top tables, and a nice sized bar. They have all of the merch you need, from shirts, tasting glasses, mixers, to mason jars. I saw a room that was roped off called "Research and Development." It was decorated with plush chairs and couches, and what looked like a ping pong table. Jim, one of the owners, took us through the entire process. We were able to get surprisingly close to the copper still and stand right above the vats that hold the "heads and tails." Jim mentioned their carbon footprint, and I was impressed. The grain that isn't used for the whiskey, is given to a local farmer. His cows love it because it gets really hot and the grain still holds a lot of moisture. The tour lasted about 30 minutes and their hours are typically from 2-5 or later on a Saturday. Their prices range from $7-60 and can include tastings, glasses, and bottles. Each time a tour is starting, they ring a bell. They had a specialty drink that you could taste with the whiskey or their limited edition White Dog moonshine. Everyone seemed to be drinking and having a good time. I can tell everyone enjoys what they do; I chatted with one bartender who told me about ALL of the licenses they had to get just to make and serve the alcohol in Atlanta. While we were talking, he says hello to man he called "pops." His dad was there to support :) ASW seems to be a family and friend run operation. I hope in the future there will be enough distilleries, wineries, breweries, and hard cideries to form tours. Atlanta is growing fast, and anyone can go to a bar, but there are plenty of "whiskey nerds" out there who are interested.I will definitely be going again and bringing friends, I want to try the bourbon!

I came to ASW for a network under 40 event who had organized a private tasting. Asw has been there only for a couple of weeks, just a couple of alcohol enthusiasts on live with the dream of making their own spirits. They currently have two different clear whiskers (because young alcohol that hasn't been ages will start out clear in the beginning and darken over age). Their original spirit as well as an infusion of coffee, chocolate, and pepper called "white dog" White dog was a little strong for me as its really potent but that's alright, because it was made to be aged. The space is neat, a revamped warehouse with a neat bar made for tasting settings just like this. I was able to snap a few pics before I got distracted. What I enjoyed the most was the tour we got with the tasting. A sneak peak behind the scenes and explanation of the entire distillation process. Absolutely enjoyed it. They are still very new so definitely come out and give them some community support. I definitely think this is a nice place to chill and sip away. Carry on.

This place was so awesome!! When I walked in the decor made me think right away that I was going to have a good experience and the girl that greeted me was super nice! They were totally dog friendly, which made it easier on us so we were able to sit inside. The token system they have in place makes it super easy to order and decide what you are going to do, and the drinks are spot on. My fiancé loved everything he tried and I had an awesome cocktail. Can't wait to come back here when we're in the Atlanta area. We also bought a bottle to take home as well as this cute bow tie for my pup

Nice experience! My wife found a great deal, including five tastings, lunch, tour and enjoying a wonderful afternoon. First the whiskey, some very smooth pours. Favorite was probably the Ameireaganach, but the Fiddler and the Duality (Double Malt), were a close second. Looking forward to the Fiddler Georgia Heartwood... Charley led the tour, really enjoyed his presentation and passion. The lunch was from Terminus City BBQ and Chef Kevin Gillespie. The pulled pork French dip was very good, and the horseradish was a perfect compliment. My wife really liked the truffled chips. Nicely done guys...

We hosted ASW Distillery on our podcast about local Atlanta businesses called "excuse my ATL sass". These guys are super chill and make amazing whiskey (highly recommend Fiddley Bourbon, it's a household favorite). Their tasting room is also really lax and a great place to kick back ad enjoy a few cocktails.

Whether you're a self-proclaimed whiskey nerd or brand-new to craft spirits, there's a little something for everyone to sip on at ASW. During tasting hours, you can grab a tour and three tastings for less than $10, or opt to add a take-home bottle purchase to your tasting/tour for an extra $20-50. Special edition bottles signed by the staff (including my better half, Chad!) hit the higher end of that range. Right now ASW has four offerings at the bar (a couple others are in the works, and special releases like The White Dog and the Monday Night collaboration occasionally pop up in the tasting room): - Armour & Oak, an apple brandy that's bright and floral, like a crisp summer apple pie that's topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. - Fiddler Whiskey, a toasty foraged bourbon with a touch of heat that goes down easy whether it's neat (my favorite way to enjoy it), on the rocks, or mixed into an Old Fashioned or toddy (my second favorite way to enjoy it). - American Spirit Whiskey, a very lightly aged silver whiskey that's sort of a bridge between vodka and whiskey (think lemonade, ginger mules, brunch, warm weather outings). - Resurgens Rye, which is actually the first Rye distilled in Atlanta since prohibition! With notes of cocoa and graham cracker, Resurgens is my favorite - it's something like a craft whiskey turned adult s'mores in a glass. Super smooth, nice and rich but not too sweet, a little heat. The profile on it reminds me of a mellow Scotch. The distillery itself is really lovely - gleaming copper stills, airy loft feel, cozy leather sofas and chairs. There's always a good playlist on if you're inclined to hang out awhile as you enjoy libations. Sweetwater Brewery is right around the corner if you want to hit a twofer tour (whiskey before beer, in the clear!). If you're looking for local gifts, there's a mercantile inside the distillery to shop - 1821 Bitters, Glencairn glasses, tees and hats, candles, cute dog collars, antique glassware sets and cufflinks. You can also rent ASW out for private events. My friend Olivia and I hosted a distillery brunch awhile back and our friends mentioned that they loved learning about how the whiskey is made over snacks and sips!

Definitely a must visit for anyone liking whiskey! Although for the price my mixed drink was small, it was delicious! My friend did a tasting of a few whiskies and was really pleased with all of them. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable! Loved the vibe of the place! Definitely a must for whiskey lovers!

I don't typically write reviews and micro distilleries, more often than not, disappoint me. I did production for one distillery for a bit and toured the Kentucky bourbon trail twice. That being said, I was fortunate enough to be taking my medical boards in Atlanta this month. I stopped in after receiving a recommendation from a local. Incredibly surprised to find really good, quality whiskey. I bought two bottles and hope to find a way to bring more to Virginia. These guys know what they're doing so stop in if you haven't already.

As part of my search for the craft spirit experience I found this place online and made the trip to check it out. The tasting room is top notch and the guys working were very chill and knowledgeable. Got to spend some time with the owners and master distiller and after sampling their products came away a fan. Their white dog is very well done and I have to say after sitting in a barrel for a few days it tastes even better. Their American Spirit whiskey is young but suprisingly smooth. I had bought a bottle to bring home and experiment with but was most disappointed to get it home and find it had opened in my luggage. If I have a complaint about this place that would be the only one. The bottle only had a piece of tape across the top of it to keep the cork in and it didn't help. Brought 3 other bottles back from other places and they all rode just fine in checked luggage being packaged well, only the inferior packaging of the AWS bottle failed. So if you make it here and decide to fly home with a bottle you will have to make sure you secure the cork yourself. Other than that the offerings here as well as the people working on the product are top notch. This place is just around the corner from Sweetwater Brewing so make your trip a twofer!

I brought a group of guys here for an in-town bachelor party and we had a great time. The distillery had two food truck type offerings outside so that people could fill up on some great BBQ. After entering the inside, while it was very simple, the whiskey and environment was fantastic. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable about their different whisky. The whiskey's ranged in all kinds of flavors, but we all enjoyed every single one. I could see a place like this expanding very quickly and I hope it does.

Checked out ASW for the first time the other night and we'll definitely be coming back! We went for an derby event that they were hosting and the whole experience was great. They work on a drink ticket system for tastings (one token for a straight pour, two for a mixed drink, and three for a bourbon slushy). I had a couple mixed drinks and a straight pour and everything was fantastic. We even got a little behind the scenes look at their barrel aging area and were allowed to taste some "in process" whiskeys straight from the barrel, which was a really great experience. If you're in to whiskey, I'd highly recommend that you check out ASW!

What a great hidden gem! Fantastic bourbons, super knowledgeable and helpful staff and interesting tour of the distillery. David takes the time to explain what makes ASW special. Flights, cocktails, single pours in a very relaxed tasting room. Also love the UGA connection!!

We recently held our son's wedding rehearsal party at the ASW location on Armour Drive. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Kelly and her staff were terrific, the atmosphere was perfect, and the cocktails were amazing! Our family raved about the event for days - and it was exactly what my son and daughter-in-law wanted in a party. So many personal touches from the cute signs, to the fun games, to the distillery tours. Thank you, ASW!

Enjoyable and laid back experience. Had a fantastic and informative time on the tour with guide David. Great story of the company history and a behinds the scene peak at the production process.

We did the tour and had cocktails. So good! Super informative and fun, beautiful location, and most importantly really good rye whiskey. Bought two rye whiskeys and one bourbon. All were superb.
