Wow, my second review in Marquette is probably as many reviews as the whole city receives in a year. This is a small town and to be clear, there is NOTHING wrong with that. I was here as part of their membership in an RV hosting organization and got a personal tour of the facility. Even though they weren't open, they did open for me and I got a personal tour of the hospitality areas, the bottling operation and the tasting room downstairs. These are wonderfully handcrafted spirits and I am seriously looking forward to this lingonberry-flavored bottle of vodka to enjoy when I'm not driving. It's a really neat little spot and if you're thinking of popping in when they have an event, don't miss out! [Review 703 of 2026 - 54 in Kansas - 25884 overall] read more

I have been to Kansas many times and didnt know this place existed. Wow, have I been missing out. We tried all of their products and fell in love with their flagship bourbon. Their bloody mary was on point too. The cheese and smoked jalapeño vodka made it happen. Friendly staff and solid place. We went back two days in a row. read more

This distillery is a little gem located in Marquette, KS. Not very far off the turnpike. He's been open for about 7 months and they've done a beautiful job of remodeling and setting up their store. We went in and the owner was very friendly. He gave us a quick tour of the store snd showed us his Still snd where the bourbon is made. He says he has batches of bourbon sitting in American oak barrels that will be ready in a little over a year from now. After the tour, he seated us at a bar area in the back of the store to give us a free tasting of his products. He let us sample his assortment of flavored vodkas and Bloody Mary mixes. The Real Dill Bloody Mary mix is amazing. He also has cocktail mixers We bought a Lemon Lavender Shrub and a plum vodka. Those two mix really well together. It was one of the concoctions he made me to try while we were there and I was sold. He was also accommodating and let us come up with mix combinations we wanted to try. My husband asked him to mix The Real Dill Bloody Mary mix, watermelon habanero shrub and jalapeño vodka. Sounds crazy but it was so good. Their bourbon is top notch. Whether you're a casual drinker or consider yourself a connoisseur, this is a must visit when traveling in the area. Located close to Kanopolis State Park and the town of Lindsborg. read more

This little gem in Kansas is well worth your time to visit. They have a unique little building with products we did not expect to find. Their vodka is comparable with Tito's and they make a great Bloody Mary. We enjoyed their bourbon and believe it is going to rival some on the bourbon trail. They were friendly and very hospitable. Fun unexpected side trip. read more
