Tour - Mississippi River Distilling Company
The November meeting will be a tour of the Mississippi River Distilling Company
in LeClaire, IA.
From their website: 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. We produce liquors hand crafted slow and
pure. 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 the masses.
Mississippi River Distilling Company started in 2010 after two brothers decided to take a chance on a dream. What started
as a crazy idea, grew into an opportunity to create something that these parts hadn't seen since prohibition. A chance to
create truly home grown, handmade spirits.
If you appreciate the fine quality that only comes from the freshest ingredients... If you believe in honest hard work and
the integrity of the family farm... If you know that a commitment to quality takes some extra time... If you're looking to
experience pleasure far beyond taste in the bottom of your glass... You've come to the right place.
We're a family owned and operated company. We believe in stewardship of our land and water. We know that the family farm is
an important part of our community and our culture here. And we believe in quality above all else. We hope you'll
appreciate the hard work that each hand signed bottle represents. We hope you'll share some with your friends, then come to
LeClaire and say hello so we can show you what makes us so proud about the wonderful place we call home.
