About Ben Holladay
Ben Holladay bourbon is produced at Holladay Distillery in Weston, Missouri, a site founded in 1856 by brothers Ben and David Holladay as Blue Springs Distillery. The distillery was built around local limestone springs, with early whiskey stored in an on-site cave, and later became McCormick Distilling Company in 1942. Bourbon production stopped in 1985, before a major renovation in 2015 brought distilling back to the original site.
The modern Ben Holladay release arrived in 2022 as a six-year-old Bottled-in-Bond Missouri straight bourbon. It is made with Missouri-grown corn, aged in Missouri white oak, bottled at 100 proof and presented without chill filtration. The mash bill is 73% corn, 15% rye and 12% barley, giving the whiskey a traditional bourbon structure with firm spice, oak, caramel and grain-led sweetness.
