Bourbon is excellent and well crafted! Bar tenders make solid drinks. This is a must if you’re in Newport News!

These guys are serious about their whiskey, and they're good at it.

Love this Distillery. Great bourbon and all the cocktails. Friendly staff. Wood, leather, speakeasy vibe. Again, love this Distillery.

Fantastic tasting room for a bourbon and/or cocktail flight. Classy yet casual and relaxed atmosphere, fast and friendly service. Wife and I did cocktail flights this trip, looking forward to going back to do a bourbon flight and/or try more delicious cocktails on rotation. Uncle Baby Billy and Rattlesnake cocktails were both great, similar save for Uncle being a bit sweeter, well-balanced and nice egg white. Ham biscuit and pimento cheese (with a sleeve of Ritz crackers!) on the side were a good value and perfect accompaniment to our flights. Pimento cheese pairs particularly well with the spicy Dad Joke cocktail, but goes great with everything else, too. Home on the Range is another winner, perfectly balanced and turns out Jarritos Tamarind is a great mixer, gonna have to try that on our own at home! Tough Cookie is a wonderful mellow seasonal option; port, guava, and nutmeg complement the bourbon and each other nicely. Even Stephen is a stronger, just as delightful, seasonal choice.

A good bourbon choice for coastal virginia. Not a top producer, their spirits are still quite young (and very expensive given the age statement), but they have a variety of finishes that results in a broad portfolio. Flight of 4 bourbon or 3 cocktails. If you go out, people around will be smoking intensively (the place sells cigars) so be aware of your preferences when deciding for inside/outside.

Great distillery to sit, chill and enjoy some great sprit flights or specialty cocktails. Relaxed atmosphere, good service.

I did have all good things to say about this place until today. I have patronized this business multiple times, having coordinated happy hour and birthday celebrations for coworkers there but today, having had an out of town friend with me, we felt like we weren't met with a warm welcome. It left a bad taste in my mouth and my friend was off put. Hopefully the staff were just having an off day.

I was driving randomly on back highways on my way home to Raleigh, NC. I was bored.
I never went or never met anyone who had been to Newport News. I decided I would visit.
Newport News was bleak.
But damn, it was cool ?
Talking to the awesome bartender at Ironclad (I wish I remember his name). Super fun people and fun energy.
We need to figure out how to get politicians out of the equation. Let's support local. Over and over and over every time.
