Wheat State Distilling

Wheat State Distilling is Wichita’s first legal distillery. So that in itself is pretty cool. They produce and sell vodka, gin, whiskey, bourbon and rum all made from wheat. You can go there on the weekends and get a free tour as well as free samples of everything they have to offer.
I visited their distillery to purchase a mini barrel of bourbon as a wedding gift for some friends. I just thought the idea of being able to age a barrel of whiskey in your own home was so cool! They engraved a design I sent them onto the face of the barrel for no extra cost, which is something they do for everyone who purchases one.
They offer a deal where you can pay the cost of building a barrel and then they’ll use it and you can have it once they’re done. But along the way you get four bottles of whatever they produce in that barrel. Watching the distillation process is the coolest part of it all.
