The editorial take
Old Fourth Distillery stakes its claim as Atlanta's first legal distillery since 1906, and the spirits lineup backs it up. The core range—vodka, gin, bourbon, rye—shows clear craft, from five-times-distilled organic cane vodka to a 100-proof Bottled in Bond aged four years. Limited editions like Nique's Batch Bourbon add collector appeal. A solid stop for spirit enthusiasts.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Straight Rye Whiskey, a 100-proof 95% rye that showcases the Georgia aging. For bourbon fans, the Bottled In Bond offers a classic profile at 100 proof. If you want something ready to drink, the Lawn Dart—lemon, ginger, and O4D vodka—is a pre-mixed cocktail worth trying.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Bourbon and rye collectors hunting limited releases will appreciate Nique's Batch and Dragon Con Bourbon. Cocktail enthusiasts who value well-balanced, mixable spirits will find the vodka and gin versatile. History buffs will enjoy the distillery's legacy as Atlanta's first legal distillery since 1906.
- When should I go?
- Visit during special releases, such as the limited Nique's Batch or Dragon Con Bourbon, to secure a bottle. Weekday afternoons may offer a more relaxed tasting experience.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Spirits are priced from $21.99 for the vodka or Lawn Dart to $99.99 for Nique's Batch Bourbon, with the core range typically between $26.99 and $60.99.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Being Atlanta's first legal distillery since 1906 gives Old Fourth a historic edge. The program's depth is evident in limited releases like Nique's Batch, an 8-year-old bourbon made with Dominique Wilkins, and the Dragon Con Bourbon. The vodka's five-times distillation from organic cane sugar and charcoal filtration is a point of distinction.
