    Mississippi River Distilling Company image
    LeClaire, Iowa. It's a special place. A place where life on the land is intimately married to the flow of the waters. For centuries, people here have looked to the water for a sense of calm, a spirit of enjoyment and a connection to a heritage that is uniquely their own.That marriage of land and water is now embodied in a different kind of spirit. The Mississippi River Distilling Company hand craft Vodka, Gin, Whiskey, and Specialty Spirits slow and pure near the banks of the Mississippi River. Born from the finest grains, harvested just up the hill from the distillery. It’s a spirit born of land and water that draws each of us curiously back to a different era. Made for you, not for for the masses. See more..

    Come enjoy a free tour and free tasting of our award winning premium rums! The federal government says we make "rum" but your taste buds may say differently! Sample our clear spirit, Island Bay, which is a wonderful mixer, or our Caribbean Mist, with flavors of a fine cognac, or our White Sand, which speaks of an aged sipping whiskey! See more..
  5. 5.0 Templeton Rye (19 reviews)
    - Was Fun to Watch Bottling Process in Action
    Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Distilleries • History Museums
    Templeton Rye image
    We arrived in time to watch the bottling cycle in progress. Interesting to observe how fast the bottles fill, the corking machine and shrink wrap processes. Our tour guide and the production crew were friendly and answered all our questions about the history of Templeton and other local area sites. While Templeton rye is distilled out of state; they use a special Prohibition-era Kerkhoff recipe from the 1920s when many defiant residents of this small Iowa town became outlaw bootleggers. Their visitor center has a good variety of Templeton Rye merchandise. Although there was a tasting bar, a change in Iowa law now forbids them to serve samples of their product. The good news is the law finally allows Iowa distilleries to sell their products, so TR is building a major expansion and will start distilling, selling and resume tastings of their rye. See more..

  8. 4.0 Foundry Distilling Company (4 reviews)
    - Great New Addition to Historic Valley Junction - Drink Local!
    Friday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Distilleries
    Foundry Distilling Company image
    Foundry Distilling Company is a great new addition to historic Valley Junction! Stopped in around 9 pm on a Friday night and the bar/lounge area had several patrons enjoying specialty cocktails made from Foundry's own distilled spirits. The aesthetics are impressive, with fine furnishings and detailed touches. Large windows offer a peek into the neighboring pub, The Hall. The meat and bones of Foundry is of course the distillery. I was offered a private tour and was quite impressed with the operation and thought that has been put into it. Foundry also has a private room which I believe can be rented, and outdoor space for events as well. There is no doubt this would be a creative venue for a corporate or private event - and surely the Foundry team will be putting their own events on as well! Foundry Distilling Company is definitely worth stopping by and checking out! Cheers - drink local!!! See more..

    - Great place, great vodka!

    Lonely Oak Distillery image
    Great place to visit! Beautiful still and tasting room! Whether you live locally or just passing through - this is a must see. The owner, Pat, has a wealth of knowledge of the liquor industry and distilling process and he welcomed my husband and I for a tour like we were his own family. His passion for distilling shows in the high quality craftsmanship of his product. We did a tasting of North 40 Vodka and it is the smoothest vodka we’ve ever tasted! It makes you realize how many poor brand name vodkas are out there that are just not worth the money the liquor stores charge. Can’t wait for his bourbon to be released! See more..
  11. 5.0 Cat's Eye Distillery (1 review)
    - Best distillery in the Quad Cities
    Spent < 1 hour Distilleries
    Cat's Eye Distillery image
    Cat's Eye Distillery is a small distillery located in a warehouse in an industrial park. They do not have a tasting room and is not zoned to sell products. The owner gives a great tour and explanation of the processes involved in making their products, from purchasing the corn from a local farmer, grinding it, boiling it, extracting the sugars, fermenting, and so on. There are no set hours as the owner comes and goes to the distillery at all hours of the day depending on what processes are currently needing attention. Call the owner, John, and let him know what time you would like to visit and he will make every effort to be there to show you around. See more..
