Ironclad Distillery Co., located in Newport News, is named after the historic Civil War battle of the ironclad ships fought off the local port. Their “Ironclad rule” is a resolute focus on making authentic, high-quality bourbon whiskey and nothing else.
They use some of Virginia’s finest grains, including a substantial amount of local wheat, in their mash bill to produce a remarkably smooth bourbon. Their commitment to one spirit allows them to perfect their craft and stand out in the Virginia spirits market.
