Ben Holladay, the Kentucky-born transportation magnate known as the Stagecoach King, bought land with limestone springs in Weston, Missouri, in 1849, and he and his brother David distilled their first bourbon there in 1856. Lewis and Clark had charted those springs in 1804, and Holladay is the oldest distillery in Missouri and the oldest west of the Mississippi still operating on its original site. The distillery passed from the Holladay family to George H. Shawhan in 1900, Isadore Singer in 1936 and Cloud L. Cray in 1950 before its current ownership group acquired it in 1993; today it is the premium spirits division of McCormick Distilling Co., whose brands include 360 Vodka and Broker's Gin. After a $10 million renovation in 2015, it began distilling bourbon on site again for the first time in three decades, on a column still with a doubler, with Kyle Merklein running the bourbon program. Its bourbons use the 1856 mash bill with Missouri-grown corn, age in Missouri white oak in seven-story ironclad rickhouses that are not climate controlled, and are bottled in bond at six years old.
