Resurgens Rye
In distilling Atlanta's first rye since Prohibition on its traditional, Scottish-style twin copper pot stills, we took our cue from Atlanta's vibrant craft brewing community to explore new, unique whiskey styles largely ignored by large distilleries. Rye is one of Georgia's traditional grains, and we feature it front and center in Resurgens, crafting Resurgens Rye from 100% malted rye, to create a flavorful whiskey that showcases rye’s potential. We at ASW Distillery aged Resurgens Rye in new, charred American white oak casks, balancing the dryness of the rye with sweetness from the barrel to create an exceptional whiskey, unique to Atlanta. We also release a Port-Cask-Finished expression of Resurgens once per year.
Rye was long-forgotten after the end of Prohibition, but has recently seen a renaissance. Resurgens is ASW Distillery's own take on this expanding category. It's only fitting that renowned Athens artist David Hale - a direct blood descendant of Basil Hayden, the first person to introduce rye into bourbon recipes - crafted the Resurgens Rye label art.
Resurgens Rye
A revival of the Appalachian-style Ryes of yore, we distill Resurgens from 100% malted rye (rather than the unmalted rye of most ryes). Sweeter & more chocolate-forward than a traditional rye, it maintains the stone fruit and spice you’d expect.

Duality Double Malt
Duality Double Malt is the World's 1st Whiskey of Its Kind, a delicious whiskey that sips like the crossroads of a smoky single malt and a robust rye.
Duality Double Malt was a happy accident, an experiment gone right when the grain supplier for our Head Distiller, Justin Manglitz, didn't have enough malted rye for Justin to make a full batch of Resurgens Rye. Justin exercised his ingenuity and added malted barley into the batch. As he normally did with Resurgens, Justin retained the grain-solids of both grains throughout the whole production process (from mashing, to fermentation, to distillation).
We expanded on the dual themes by finishing Duality in a combination of new & used barrels and bottling it at 88 proof. The result in Duality Double Malt is something truly unique, a testament to the innovative flavor combinations that craft distilleries across the U.S. are pioneering.
The label features a number of dualistic Easter eggs, including a Scottish-Gaelic translation of the first verses in Act V, Scene I of MacBeth: "Double double, toil and trouble, fire burn, and cauldron bubble."
DUALITY DOUBLE MALT WHISKEY
A delicious symphony of rye and cherry-smoked malted barley, for the World's 1st Double Malt and Georgia's 1st Ever Double Gold Whiskey. It was a "happy accident" or "experiment gone right", depending on who you ask.

Druid Hill Irish-Style Whiskey
We've crafted Druid Hill in the old Irish tradition with 30% unmalted barley (an innovation originally developed to avoid taxes on malt) and 70% malted barley grown by Loughran's Malt, a 6th Generation family farm in County Louth, Ireland, at the foot of the Cooley Mountains near Dublin.
Just a stone's throw from our distillery, amid the Piedmont's oak-studded slopes, lies Druid Hills, an idyllic area from whence this whiskey takes its name, a nod to the decades that the Druids of Celtic Ireland and our Head Distiller both spent mastering the ancient art of whiskey-making.

Tire Fire Heavily Peated Single Malt
With a nose that’s a bouquet of barbecue, a palate that whisks you to salt-sprayed islands in the far north, and a finish that — like the Northwest Passage — lasts a brief eternity, Tire Fire is for those who share their breakfast with bears.
Our Head Distiller Justin Manglitz got his start perfecting his booze-making techniques over 18 years ago. Though he'd always loved Irish Pure Pot Still Whiskies and Lightly Peated Single Malt Scotches (like the bottle of Macallan he received for graduation), he'd always found heavily peated single malts to taste like burning rubber. So when the rest of the team here — who love our Islay-style single malt whiskies — put Justin up to the task of distilling a peat bomb he'd actually drink, he gladly accepted the challenge.
If you like your whiskey with all the peat that can be seared into a single dram, we think this will suit you just fine. Largely because it’s peaty, and delicious.
Tire Fire Heavily Peated Single Malt Whiskey
A delicious, Islay-style single malt whiskey, distilled on our Scottish-style twin copper pot stills from 100% peated barley from Inverness, Scotland.
