This is one GREAT distillery! Ryan and Garret Burchett and all the crew there have a wonderful addition to the downtown of LeClaire, Iowa. Can't wait to come up for "first Friday" when the new veranda is open. Also fabulous products! I just love the Honey Whiskey!

This place was really nice. But was kind of distracted by other people coming in and out of the store. Also as the person was giving the tour, some of the employees just stared at you. Felt kind of uncomfortable.

We were on a 44 hour road trip and decided to make a few adjustments so that we could stop in at this distillery. We arrived just as they opened which allowed us to ask a bunch of questions and have a private tasting. There was not one taste that we had the pucker face. We even liked the gin and we are not gin drinkers! If you are in the area and want to try good spirits you need to build this into your trip.

We went to this distillery while passing through Le Claire. The owners are extremely proud of their place and product and should be! It is beautiful, the product is great and it's all from the heartland! I love that everything they use to make their products is local from the grain to the barrels! Very cool worth stopping. The tour is short and informative.

Aside from taking the tours and tasting the samples, we've stopped here a couple of times just to run in and purchase items direct from the distillery. The Cody Road Bourbon is pretty good. So is the honey whiskey they make, which is a special run when the honey is ready. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Take the tour, it doesn't take long and it is interesting to learn about their use of local producers as they make their products.

We stopped by the distillery during a road trip and had a great time. Our tour guide was very informative and made us laugh. I love that they use locally sourced ingredients to make all of their spirits. The tasting afterwards allowed us to sample some of their products. We ended up buying their honey whiskey (delicious by the way). Highly recommend for folks that are in the area!

Stopped by the distillery to pick up some of the new Iowish Cream Liqueur. It has a light, unique taste due to being a corn product. This batch will sell out quickly.

A group of us toured this small distillery, located on the banks of a quaint old Mississippi River steamboat town, Le Claire. Our tour leader/receptionist/gift shop seller/Tasting Room hostess(one-and-the-same!) was full of knowledge and very personable. She is quite well-trained in the distilling processes of their various spirits. It's a fun way to spend part of an afternoon.

Interesting, short tour of a small distillery and how they produce some of their unique products. There is a tasting at the end of the tour and a small gift shop.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The tour was fun along with the generous sampling at the end. Part of our group had to buy a few items to take home with them. A great place to stop while you are in town. Good for all ages!

The free tour was interesting and informative. The tour guide was very funny and friendly. We would recommend stopping in for the tour and tasting. We are so happy we decided to stop. We did take he a bottle of the seasonal bottle of peach liquor. Great to add to some wine!

So disappointed in the customer service there! In town celebrating my mom's 60th birthday and my sister-in-laws 35th . Came in at the end of a tour not realizing it. The four of us wants to try two samples and the bartender was not very helpful. It was like we were discouraged because we miss the tour time :(.

This is a nice little distillery in Le Claire. If you drive from the South it's on the right hand side on the main road through the town centre. The tour was free of charge and we had three small samples of their products. Look at their website for opening hours and the tours. It was a nice and informative tour, not long but enough to learn about the distillery and their products. The tour guide when we visited the distillery was one of the owners. There is also a small shop at the entrance,

Who knew that we would come across this distillery while visiting the Quad Cities. They were quite informative about the processes used to make vodka, gin, whisky, and bourbon. We were able sample these items, and boy were they smooth. I'm not much of a whisky drinker, but I was totally impressed with the smoothness. We bought their season item of Big Peach liqueur to share with friends back home, and everyone loved it!

What a neat place! This distillery has only been open for a few years, but they seem to be thriving, and how wonderful! When I first heard about this distillery, I automatically assumed they only distilled whiskey, but I was quite mistaken. They make several different types of liquor - they have a bourbon, a vodka, a gin, and several more. Plus, they have various seasonal selections. You can go into the tasting bar and try a little thimble of anything. I didn't have time to go on the tour (which is free and offered daily on the hour between noon and 4 pm), but I went in for a quick tasting and enjoyed it very much. Of course, they have a little shop where you can then purchase what you like. The prices are reasonable, and it's a fun little stop if you are ever in the Le Claire area. They also distribute their products, so look for them in your local liquor store!
