Distillery in Missouri

Born from a passion and desire to make a contribution to this great industry, Lionheart Whiskey Co. began humbly in the heart of historic Hermann, a chaming and bustling little town alongside the Missouri River. Like an elegant dram of whiskey, Hermann, Missouri calls you to slow down, gather together and enjoy the moment. Every drop of whiskey we bottle is intended to do just that. So even if you can’t be here with us, a pour gets you just a little bit closer.

Welcoming & Knowledgeable

"Lionheart in Hermann, Missouri, delivered an outstanding whiskey tasting experience, even during the busy whiskey festival weekend when they were short-staffed. The staff was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, taking time to walk us through each pour with genuine passion and insight despite the hectic day. Every whiskey we tried was very good and each unique. The atmosphere was relaxed, rustic, and inviting, making it easy to enjoy the tasting and appreciate the care that goes into each bottle. Lionheart is a must-visit for any whiskey lover."

Left with 2 Bottles & Great Memories

"Awesome little place in Herrman. Loved the tour of the distillery and the tasting. Left there with two bottles and great memories. Will be back!"

— Chris

Complex Tasting Notes & Smooth Finish

"Generally I'm not a rye whiskey fan and almost skipped Lionheart because of that. Thank goodness I didn't! Brandi had us feeling like family as soon as we walked through the door, while Ron slang cocktails with ease and a smile. The whiskey is blended well, has complex tasting notes and a smooth finish. The star of the weekend here though was the Campfire Old Fashioned. Definitely dessert in a glass. The crew not only shared the recipe, but demonstrated how it was made and sold all the components so it could be enjoyed at home. Overall experience 6 out of 5 stars."
