Frequently Asked Questions

What does Old Weston Missouri Corn Whiskey taste like?

Old Weston delivers bold, sweet corn flavors with vanilla and butterscotch notes, balanced by oak spice from seven years of aging. The 100-proof strength provides full-bodied intensity with warm corn character throughout the palate and a lingering, spicy finish.

How is corn whiskey different from bourbon?

Corn whiskey must contain at least 80% corn (versus 51% for bourbon) and can be aged in used barrels, creating a more corn-forward, grain-sweet profile. Old Weston's sour mash process and Missouri heritage offer a distinctive regional take on this traditional American spirit category.

Is Old Weston good for cocktails?

Yes, the 100-proof strength and bold corn character make Old Weston excellent for whiskey cocktails where you want the grain character to shine through. It works particularly well in Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, and corn whiskey-specific cocktails that showcase its unique Missouri heritage.

What makes McCormick Distilling special?

McCormick Distilling Company has operated continuously since the 1850s in historic Weston, Missouri, making it one of America's oldest distilleries. Their location along the Missouri River and traditional sour mash methods represent authentic Midwestern whiskey-making heritage that predates many famous Kentucky operations.

Is Old Weston worth trying for bourbon drinkers?

Absolutely—Old Weston offers bourbon enthusiasts a chance to explore corn whiskey's more intense grain character while maintaining familiar aged whiskey complexity. The seven-year age statement and bottled-in-bond designation ensure quality comparable to premium bourbon expressions with distinctively different flavor profile.
