About Us
In 1904, the city fathers commissioned a statue of Vulcan, the roman god of fire and the forge, as a symbol of Birmingham's industrial might. Today, Vulcan — the world’s largest cast iron statue — overlooks the city from atop Red Mountain. Redmont Distillery is proud to pay tribute to Birmingham's history by featuring an image of Vulcan that adorns the front of each bottle we produce. Founded in 2015, we began distilling our Redmont Vodka and Vulcan Gin locally in small batches at our Birmingham distillery, which also happens to be the first legal distillery in Birmingham since prohibition. We distill our vodka eight times, giving it a 100% neutral taste. Our vodka hit the shelves in early 2016 and right off the bat, people could taste the difference. In 2016, Redmont Vodka medaled at the Washington Cup Spirits Competition. The following year, Redmont Distilling Co won big at the 2017 New York International Spirits competition, taking home awards in both the Vodka and Gin categories and was named Best Distillery in Alabama. Most recently, Redmont Vodka won a Gold medal at the USA Spirits Rating competition. We were excited to welcome Alabama native, Charles Barkley, as a majority owner in August 2019. Charles has wanted to invest in a business in his home state of Alabama for a long time. Redmont Distilling Co presented a great opportunity for him to be a part of the Birmingham business community.
