Collection: Ironclad Distillery

In 1862, one year into the American Civil War, the first ships to be armored in iron engaged in the waters off the Port of Newport News, Virginia. A few hours later, the Navy would be changed forever.

That mighty battle inspired our IronClad's Name. And it’s why we stick to their guns. IronClad Distilling makes authentic bourbon. That’s it. Nothing else. It’s their Ironclad rule.

Working with some of Virginia’s best grains, their aim is to produce bourbon whiskey that is accessible in flavor and price, while being of the highest quality of production.

Located along the James River, within view of the old Battle of the Ironclads site, Ironclad operates in the prodigious S.W. Holt & Co. warehouse built in 1913.
