John Little: Smooth Ambler Spirits Co.
When Smooth Ambler opened in 2009, few envisioned the craft whiskey distillery would grow so big so fast.
John Little, co-founder and whiskey maker, started the company with his father-in-law. The two had no experience with distilling, but their enthusiasm to learn, commitment to transparent labeling, and community-driven ethos has brought them success and industry-wide respect. Despite the fact that many high priced bourbons and whiskeys are older than the company itself, Smooth Ambler is a shining example of a company aligning profits and impact to achieve sustainable growth.
Pour yourself a nice glass, sit back, and hit play to hear the fascinating story behind John Little and Smooth Ambler.
