McCormick Distilling Company is the oldest distillery in the United States operating at it original site. In 1976, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. Lewis and Clark discovered natural limestone springs in the rolling hills of Missouri. By 1830 these pure springs were supplying water to wagon trains heading west. Years later Ben Holladay saw these limestone springs as the ingredient for great whiskey needed to supply the vast number of wagon trains passing through Weston desiring good whiskey. In 1856 he started his distillery.

The tours at the distillery were discontinued in 1995. The McCormick Country Store was relocated to Main Street and sells a complete line of McCormick products plus logo items, premium cigars; a .25 sample bar for customers over 21 years of age.

McCormick introduces a Vodka with a “Green” state of mind

Our new 360 Vodka is crafted from a philosophy of eco-awareness. Every bottle is quadruple distilled and five times filtered through a highly energy efficient process, with every bushel of grain being fully used and nothing going to waste. The packaging is designed for reusability, the bottled consisting of 85% recycled glass and the labeling is 100% recycled paper.

Spirits cannot be shipped but we would be happy to ship any logo items in the store.

Come visit McCormick Country store to find out more about this new vodka and its technology that will not deplete our planet of all its resources.
