Birmingham's First Legal Distillery Since Prohibition
Redmont Distilling Co. was founded in 2014 as the first legal distillery in Birmingham since Prohibition, taking its name and identity from the city's iron heritage — Red Mountain and the Vulcan statue loom over its story. NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, an Alabama native, became majority owner in the brand's 2019 relaunch and has made it a point of pride that Redmont is minority-owned and supports minority-owned businesses across its operations. The vodka itself is a corn spirit, which is what makes it naturally gluten-free, distilled eight times and polished through carbon filtration before reverse osmosis water brings it to proof. It was named the official vodka of The World Games 2022 in Birmingham. Browse the Redmont Distilling Co. collection, more vodka, and the full spirits shelves at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
The brand's characterisation: clean and pure, with clarity in taste, colour and smell. The corn base gives a smooth finish with no harsh aftertaste, and the profile stays deliberately neutral — built to disappear into a mixed drink or sit quietly on the rocks.
How to Enjoy
The distillery's own signature serve is The Charles Barkley — Redmont Vodka with cranberry juice and soda water. Its neutral, smooth profile also makes it a natural Martini and Moscow Mule vodka.
