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...

Absolutely, hands down, the best place to get distilled in house whiskey!!! Prices are extremely good, especially considering the quality of whiskey you get. I've been to several small distilleries all throughout Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, as well as on the west coast, and Irons One definitely stands out as a hidden gem! Quality aside (which is EXCELLENT), the in-house distiller (John) is SUPER NICE & Extremely helpful. He definitely goes the extra mile to answer any and all questions you might have about the distillery process & his recommendation if you want to get a mixed drink while you're there. I also took a tour (which they offer via reservation), and it was also a great & personal experience, unlike more crowded places in Tennesee. Overall, I can't recommend...
