Such a cool place I had no idea existed! On a whim, I tried their MO bourbon at Westport Social and loved it. Decided to look them up online and discovered that not only are they 10min from my house, but they have a tour! We snagged the last 2 tickets for the last tour of the day the following afternoon.
Il the tour was so fun. And the variety of spirits, the playful flavors and labels, the science behind it, the apothecary style space, the open invite to visit Friday nights - it all combines to be easily one of the coolest businesses. David is hilarious, too. The kind of guy you want to hang out with and listen to his stories - preferably while drinking some of his Bloody Butcher bourbon. :) This isn't your Lux Row or Maker's distillery tour experience --- this is raw, unfiltered, real life distilling by a local craft distiller who is clearly passionate about his art and serious about his science. He's living his best life, and bring to know StilL 630 will enhance yours.
He makes everything but vodka. If you think you don't like gin (which was me going in), try theirs. The flavors are intriguing. It's not like the turpentine of my grandparent's basement bar. I would bet in a cocktail it's even better. I've never had anything like the Sorghum whisky or the rum. Definitely worth the taste! But as a bourbon girl, I'm really loving the MO Bourbon and the...

Read moreThe product we sampled was quite good and the tour was OK, but it felt like it was very understaffed. There were tours every hour on the hour and if you arrived early for your tour it was very unclear what you were supposed to do or where you were supposed to go. The one guy working just assumed that everyone had booked tours tours online, but I know that at least another couple in our group had just walked in and joined our tour and did not schedule in advance. During the time we were there quite a number of people were just walking in and you could tell it was frustrating to the guy working because he had to keep stopping his tour spiel to ask what they wanted, and he was frankly a little rude at times to people who just walked in. It seems there should be more than one person working on the days when tours are conducted, or at least have a sign posted that it is for scheduled tours only, no walk-ins, and if you arrive early, just wait back near the door,...or something to...
