Distillery of Modern Art sits in Chamblee, a suburb just northeast of Atlanta that’s become a surprising hotspot for craft spirits. The name hints at something different from your typical bourbon operation, and that’s exactly what founders had in mind when they opened their doors. This isn’t just about making whiskey—it’s about treating distillation as an art form, complete with the creative experimentation you’d expect from artists. The facility operates in Chamblee’s growing industrial arts district, where old warehouses get new life as creative spaces. The distillery focuses on small-batch production with an emphasis on innovation over tradition. You’ll find them experimenting with different grains, aging techniques, and finishing processes that push beyond conventional whiskey making. Their approach treats each batch like a canvas, willing to take risks that larger operations won’t touch. The team behind it brings backgrounds from both spirits production and creative industries, which shows in everything from their product development to their tasting room design. Visitors get to experience this blend of craft distilling and artistic vision firsthand. The space feels more like a modern gallery than a traditional rickhouse, with clean lines and industrial aesthetics that let the spirits take center stage. You can watch the production process, taste through their experimental releases, and see how they’re pushing the boundaries of what American spirits can be.
