Redmont Distilling Co sits in Birmingham’s industrial corridor on 5th Avenue South, founded by Pete Wright and his team who launched Alabama’s first legal vodka distillery in 2014. Wright, a Birmingham native with a background in business and entrepreneurship, saw an opportunity to bring craft spirits production back to a state that had been dry for decades. The operation started in a converted warehouse space, focusing initially on premium vodka before expanding their portfolio. The distillery takes its name from Red Mountain, the iron ore-rich ridge that defines Birmingham’s landscape and industrial heritage. You’ll find a working production facility that’s grown from a startup dream into a legitimate craft spirits operation, producing vodka, gin, and whiskey for distribution across Alabama and beyond. The space reflects Birmingham’s industrial roots – exposed brick, metal fixtures, and the kind of no-nonsense aesthetic that matches the city’s blue-collar character. What started as a two-person operation has evolved into a team of dedicated distillers and staff who’ve helped establish Alabama as a legitimate player in the craft spirits renaissance.
