ASW Distillery at American Spirit Works, home of Fiddler Bourbon, Winterville Gin & more

Folks, if you enjoy good whiskey (bourbon, rye, single - and double! - malts) do yourself a favor and get over to ASW for a tour and tasting. There are a few craft producers in the US who are really putting their heart and soul into making amazing whiskey, and ASW is clearly one of them. I stopped in on a Sunday and had a phenomenal tour with Austin, then got to try all kinds of things the team there has been working on. (Thanks Nathan!) It was just fantastic.

One of the things I've loved about craft beer in America is a desire to produce not only great staples, but also a willingness to experiment and put out crazy new innovations. NE IPAs for example. ASW seems to be applying this same approach to whiskey. Until yesterday I hadn't had a double malt before. Whether you like malts or not, cherrywood smoked rye is something I think you need to experience at least once!

I also appreciate that they're both distilling their own stuff on a beautiful pot still as well as sourcing interesting mash bills from larger distillers, and spending a lot of care and time finishing them in a climate that's at least as interesting (to me anyway) as Kentucky. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

My favorite is still single barrel picks of their Fiddler Georgia Heartwood, but they are putting out so many other really unique things I suggest you visit ASAP and try them all.

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.

Had the chance to compare these to other local distilleries and think their bourbon is the best. 13 colonies is second. Go see them!

Took a tour with Miriam and it was a blast. Great story and drink!

Craft distillery with informative tours and tastings. The bourbon is top-notch!

Austin was an amazing tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and made the experience engaging and fun! Highly recommend the barrel tour and tasting!

Very well done, out guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions fully. He also got input from the group and helped us understand the products ASW makes.

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.

Fantastic collaboration with Jittery Joes! Tasty blend of bourbon and coffee beans! We had a good time at this event; the Sazerac and Jackson Street cocktails were on point 🥃

Went today for my boyfriend's birthday . The venue was beautiful -learned so much on tour and staff was amazing
- esp Brian with an I . I would highly recommend for a date or group activity

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!

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!

Great staff, better whiskey, amazing vibe

Definitely worth dropping in!

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.

Attended the Fathers Day high-proof tasting and had a great time.
