Fascinating distillery - Visited the distillery whilst on a mid-west road trip. We were given a tour by Connor who was fantastic! Personable, entertaining and so knowledgeable. I was fascinated by the process and the distillery's amazing history and the creation of the unique Kansas City whiskey. Connor was so generous with his time and answered our many...many questions. Top job. A beautiful cocktail in the speakeasy finished things off wonderfully.

Great Distillery Tour and Visit to KC - We took a tour of the Holladay Distillery in Weston, MO near Platte. It was a great tour and fun atmosphere! We topped off the day with a few stops in the KC area and a fabulous dinner on the Plaza.

Kansas City Whiskey Tour - Really interesting and enlightening information. We learned a bit about the history of the city, and I learned that J. Rieger actually developed a 'type' of Whiskey - Kansas City Whiskey. It has a special ingredient, but you'll have to take the tour to find out. We also got to taste their Vodka, Gin and a Coffee Liquor. The production floor was hotter than blazes, but they provide water.

Great experience! - The outside area is awesome! Loved the “Miss Scarlett with the wrench” vibe when we gathered for the tasting at the end!

Worth It! - Fun tour with a friendly, informative guide. Started with an intro video about the history, followed by a short talk about the development behind the distillery, and then a walk through the production. Ended with a tasting. Definitely worth the price.
