A GRAIN-TO-GLASS DISTILLERY…
We are a grain-to-glass distillery. All our whiskeys, including bourbon, rye, and limited releases such as 5-Grain, are tributes to the distiller’s who’ve crafted spirits in Illinois for nearly 200 years.
Just as they did…
PRISTINE WATER
We begin with pristine water from a local spring not far from our home in historic downtown Vandalia.
HAND-SELECTED INGREDIENTS
We use local, hand-selected grains for our whiskeys, & craft our rum with molasses & turbinado sugar sourced directly from Louisiana.
A CUSTOM PROCESS
We mill the grains, ferment, distill, barrel, & bottle on-site. Spent whiskey mash returns to the farm and is fed directly to our cows. And they love it!

I went to Witness Distillery for their tour today. The tour was top notch. The owner runs the tour, and his wife runs the gift shop. They were both personable and made you feel welcome. The tour begins with a mixed drink. They have a nice selection to choose from. The bartender was welcoming, and she made my smoked old fashioned perfectly.
