Testimonials

Christa Lester

Fun, entertaining and educational for drinkers and non-drinkers. Dave, the owner, makes you feel right at home with his knowledge, wit and humor. He takes pride in his business, and it shows. The coffee is excellent! My family members had some samples, and we walked out of there with some whiskey and coffee. This establishment is a must visit for locals and tourists!

Our signature grain bills feature non genetically modified grains. These grains are sourced from our local Missouri Markets when available. 

This palette pleasing product is derived from our use of one-of-a-kind stills and proprietary techniques to create a finish that is rich, pure and distinctive.
