West Bottoms Whiskey

This tasting room is a vibe! Great spot for a cocktail at all times of the day. We signed up for their free membership to take advantage of their BOGO Old Fashioneds each month. The cocktails are spot on, award winning (I believe) and the bartenders could not be more lovely. Add to your list if you're looking for a chill, cool cocktail spot in KC!

Today's visit to West Bottoms went really well. Evan can mix up some food drinks.I dropped in this afternoon after lunch down the street at Chef J's, to try their Pitch 2021 winning Best Old Fashioned in KC. I asked Evan to make me a regular one, which was delicious. Smooth balance of sweet and subtle spiciness...the traditional one was already good, but then the Best Old Fashioned in KC was pretty good to. The latter had a hint of maple syrup...delicious.I wasn't rushed, I had the entire place to myself. It was a pretty chill place for an afternoon drink. Next time I'm in KC, I will definitely drop by.

Stopped by West Bottoms Whiskey for a tour. We started with a cocktail - I'm not a whiskey lover, so I asked the bartender what she recommended, and I really liked my drink - it was special for February and came with a little flower on top. My husband got an old fashioned and loved it. Then we began the tour - our tour guide, SJ was a wealth of knowledge. I loved learning about the history of the building and the West Bottoms, along with the distillery. I'd definitely recommend a tour here, even if you're not a whiskey lover.

I love the basement vibe. The layout and approaching the bar to order is a bit odd but it's okay. I'd love to come here in nice warm weather! Service was friendly and quick!

Such a fun place!!! Stopped in on First Saturday for a refreshment and cool atmosphere.Seating inside, upstairs and outside.Loved the seasonal smash Blueberry Thyme!

I've had west bottoms whiskey before but hadn't had the chance to visit the distillery. It's super small, dark, and tucked away in the west bottoms. They do have a pretty large patio area with picnic benches in the front so if it's nice out, it makes a perfect spot to sip a cocktail. I opted for the old fashioned. I'm not sure which of their whiskey they use for this particular cocktail but it's good either way. It was strong and smooth with just a touch of sweetness. We also tried the whiskey flight. They were all good and it's a great way to taste and compare. The inside was pretty small and intimate. And everyone working was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return.

Home of the best old fashioned, in kc, it sure lived up to the hype. West bottoms whiskey distills their own, using a combination of sherry, whiskey and rye.Service was superb, the fastest I've seen a cocktail made, honestly. And the heat was cranked high, which I appreciated since it was COLD that evening. It's a cozy little spot.

The BEST old fashioned in KC. Cool space in a train tunnel in the West Bottoms. The owners, Alex and Cass are the best hosts!

They happily accommodated us for a private tour. Staff was superFriendly and knowledgeable and Ben was Ana amazing tour guide. And the whisky is pretty good too!

we really enjoyed our distillery tour. it was both informative and entertaining not to mention the fact that the whiskey is amazing! Be sure to buy a bottle to bring home and enjoy.
