Tom's Town Distilling Co

About Tom's Town Distilling Co

Tom’s Town Distilling Co. is downtown Kansas City's first legal distillery since Prohibition. It draws its name and inspiration from the country’s most polarizing and corrupt political boss, Tom Pendergast. Under Pendergast’s influence, Kansas City flouted Prohibition. Tom’s irreverence for federal statutes in favor of bare-knuckled local business dealings allowed his town to emerge as the “Paris of the Plains.” Tom's Town distills and produces award-winning spirits including bourbon, gin and vodka.
