The Washington Distilling Company

Found them online after coming to the area on a wine tasting tour. Superb in all aspects! Amazing bourbon, gin and vodka. A MUST. AND ABSOLUTE MUST VISIT if you like spirits and are even remotely in the area. 2 hour detour? Worth it. 3 hours? Definitely. An American treasure.

My wife and I made the trip from Jefferson City to try Washington Distillery on the recommendation of a fellow whiskey lover and friend. We were truly impressed by our treatment and the variety of samples we were allowed to try. Luckily we had the place to ourselves and were able to meant Curt, Vince, and Rich who were full of the tales of their craft. You can tell it is really a passion for them and their products reflect it. Bought a case + and will be returning. Highly recommend this experience, although sizeable groups may find it 'cozy'. Since it was just my wife and I at the time we didn't mind at all. Thank you Washington Distillery!

What a fun place to sample some local spirits. Very friendly staff. Tasty bourbons. It is a must do if in Washington.

This distilling company knows what they’re doing. The flavors from each cask pull through beautifully and are very distinct. Small, intimate tasting room, and the staff is very personable. Highly recommend stopping by, you won’t regret it!

Great local whiskey distillery. Vince was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I was highly impressed!

You must try a tasting! Rich and the crew are awesome people, very knowledgeable, you will have a fun time and have some amazing bourbons. Custom mix you a bottle!

We took a group of 5 here on Oct. 26th for a tasting and had a strange experience. Two (2) of us arrived early, participated in small talk with the bartender, and watched as another group of 4 started a tasting. We all talked about the distillery trails we were on and took recommendations from the bartender. No issues. Then the 3 remaining in our group arrived. The bartender told 1 of our group he wouldn't serve him and the only explanation given was that he had to follow "laws." We thought he was kidding and hence, started the tasting. He was not kidding and refused to serve our friend. It was so weird that when we left and the door closed, we burst out in laughter. The only reason that we could think of was that the bartender judged our friend as drunk. He is a retired fellow whose movement and speech are on the slower end of cadence. We went down the street and bought our friend ice cream. (The Dairy Delight was tasty!) It has turned into a story to tell, but I will not be back.

Warm and friendly staff. Great whiskey. Definitely coming back

Phenomenal experience from start to finish. My husband and I did their Mashbuild Bourbon creation for our wedding anniversary. Not only was everything we tried delicious, but we were also treated with incredible hospitality by Vince and crew. Whether you are a local or just traveling through, this is a MUST STOP IN kind of place. You won't regret it. Cheers!

This place was absolutely fantastic when we stopped in this week. They guys working were awesome and did a great job explaining the different bottles they made. We were able to do a flight of the different bottles and all of them were solid. The prices were very reasonable and I happily bought a whiskey to take home. It was worth the stop for sure!

Glad we stopped by and tried their offerings. Have something for all tastes and preferences. Great experience.

Awesome Bourbon

Excellent experience! My brothers and I made out own Mash Build bottle with the guidance of owner Rich. Had a great time and learned a lot. Tim in the tasting room was welcoming and witty. Enjoyed our time here. Thank you!

What a great experience we had at the tasting room of The Washington Distilling Company! We went there with the Missouri Whiskey Society. They are so creative! They have created such an interesting, high quality selection. We walked away with a couple of bottles to add to our collection, and will be back again and again. They love sharing their passion and give you so much information. This place is a real treasure!
