Description
As the saying goes, “First in shoes, first in booze, and last in the American League.” This class explores Missouri’s rich distillery history, starting with 19th-century operations, including the oldest distillery still using a 165-year-old bourbon recipe. We’ll dive into the wild bootlegging days of Prohibition and highlight today’s craft distillery movement (you can even get married in a St. Louis distillery!). Plus, discover how St. Louis was once home to Jack Daniel’s whiskey and learn about local distillery festivals, organizations, and related legislation.
