Bourbon, The Way It Was
Meant To Be
We are proud to introduce you to Real Missouri Bourbon. At the Holladay Distillery you’ll find our original 160-year-old bourbon recipe cooking in a stillhouse that dates back to the mid-1800s. The grains are sourced right here in Missouri and cooked with water from the same limestone spring used by founders Benjamin and David Holladay in 1856.

When Lewis and Clark set out to explore the west in 1804, they passed through what would later be established as Weston, Missouri. On this journey, they charted the very first discovery of the limestone spring located on site.
Alongside the Missouri Department of Conservation, the distillery established Forest 360, an effort to plant indigenous trees on 40 acres of the land surrounding the plant.
State of the Art high speed bottling facility with multiple lines to run products of all shapes and sizes.
Thousands of barrels full of whiskey have been aged to bourbon in C Warehouse, the third aging warehouse constructed in the early 1950’s.
Dating back to 1839, the cave was originally constructed as a meat locker for beef that came from cattle raised on site. The cave has since been repurposed as a common area for meetings and events. The cave is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The original stillhouse dates back to 1839 when it was built as a meat packing house. The building was repurposed in 1856 as a stillhouse where Holladay products are still distilled today.
