Little and TAG were already working on a plan to create a West Virginia-based business together. In 2008, TAG read a TIME Magazine article about the growing micro-distilling movement and brought the concept to John, who immediately fell in love with the idea. Tag famously told John Little, “We can do this in your garage.” The idea of a small Appalachian craft whiskey appeared to be the perfect fit. John Foster joined the Smooth Ambler team as the National Director of Sales and Marketing, and together the two Johns set out to craft the whiskey, which they would want to drink.
