Irons One Distillery

As a dedicated Scotch drinker, I usually find most bourbons to be a bit thin or 'watery'—always feeling like they’re missing a layer of complexity. Irons ONE has completely changed that for me. The attention to detail during the tasting was incredible, and being able to taste through the different char levels really showed the craftsmanship behind the bottle. It’s the first bourbon I’ve found that feels truly complete. Honestly, I’m defaulting to this over my Scotch collection lately. I’m not sure what they put in the water at Lowe Mill, but I’m officially a convert.

This place is a hidden gem. Got to meet and talk to the master distiller and sample some great bourbon! Their Char series is delicious and ranks right up there with some of my all time favorites. Go check them out. You will not be disappointed.

A few months back you gave us an extensive tour of your distillery, including the barrel warehouse. We loved every moment. I left that day with a deep appreciation for what you're doing at Irons One and a bottle of the fruits of your labor. Once I was home in Virginia I cracked the bottle open and was blown away by the quality of your bourbon. It has such a depth of flavor. It's a very traditional set of flavors, but each layer stands on its own. These flavor layers together offer a very rare treat. I loved every drop. I wish you all the best in the future and look forward to seeing Irons One gain the recognition it deserves.

Loved the tour and the personal attention. Irons One bourbon is top notch; if you haven’t tried it yet you SHOULD!! Matthew was great, and really knows his bourbon!! Can’t wait for all the new exciting things coming for Irons One!

Irons One Distillery – Still Phenomenal, Now with Fresh Energy! If you love whiskey (or just want to fall in love with it), Irons One Distillery in Huntsville is the spot you have to check out. The whiskey? Absolutely phenomenal. Smooth, flavorful, and crafted with serious care — it’s the kind of bottle you’ll want to hide from your friends so you don’t have to share. And here’s the cool part: Irons One is now under new ownership! Local physician Jim McCarty has taken the reins from founder Jeff Irons, who built this place from the ground up starting in 2015 . Jim’s got a real passion for whiskey and a love for the Huntsville community, so the distillery is in great hands. He’s keeping the classics alive — bourbon and bourbon mash whiskey — but also teasing some exciting new creations coming soon ( I have only heard rumors, but I heard they are working with another local company, and it will be out of this world). The vibe at the distillery is still super welcoming and laid-back. Whether you’re doing a tasting, grabbing a bottle, or just soaking in the atmosphere at Lowe Mill, it’s a great time. You’ll leave with a smile and probably a bottle (or two). Bottom line: Irons One is a must-go. Great whiskey, great people, and now a fresh chapter that’s already off to a strong start.

Strong, flavorful cocktails using barrel-aged whiskey. Our favs are the Old Fashioned and Whiskey Smash! Comfortable seating, relaxed space. If you so desire you can pay to get a private tour of the distilling process behind the scenes.

If you want a great bourbon brewed right here in HSV, this is the best I've tasted amongst the local options. Jeff is a great guy and pours the drinks himself at his storefront in Lowe Mill. Make sure to follow his Facebook page, his last batch sold out in less than 8!!! hours.

The customer service is great and the location is very cool. I just wished I liked their whiskeys. Not a fan of it, at least they let you try it before you buy it. It is worth a stop.

Absolutely awesome spot! Very good selection of whiskey. love the atmosphere and tour. Will definitely bring more friends. The staff are so awesome they're very laid back and friendly. Thank you for the experience it was awesome.
