Noble Cut Distillery sits in a industrial complex on Cross Pointe Road in Columbus, where founders Dave Scheuerman and Josh Klintworth turned their shared passion for craft spirits into Ohio’s newest bourbon operation. The duo launched their distillery in 2019 after years of planning and perfecting their recipes, with Scheuerman bringing engineering expertise and Klintworth contributing business acumen from his background in finance. Their 4,000-square-foot facility houses custom copper stills and a tasting room that feels more like hanging out in a friend’s garage workshop than a polished tourist destination. They focus primarily on bourbon and rye whiskey, though they’ve experimented with other spirits as they build their brand in Columbus’s growing craft distilling scene. The operation stays deliberately small-scale, allowing them to oversee every step of production from mash to bottle. You won’t find massive rickhouses or century-old stories here, but you will find two guys who genuinely love what they’re doing and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty perfecting their craft.
