Both of us are at Holladay with the KC Whiskey Guild. Tour, food, tasting, and the kind of night that’s the whole reason the Guild exists. Local whiskey societies are where the bourbon community lives between festivals.

What is the Kansas City Whiskey Guild?

The Kansas City Whiskey Guild is the member-driven local whiskey society founded in 2020 by Tanner Austin — now grown to more than three thousand members. The Guild runs events at distilleries, bars, and private hosts across the Kansas City metro. The Holladay night is a recurring distillery-host evening at the Weston, Missouri site — tour, food, tasting, and the Guild crowd that turns it into more than a tasting.
