A great whiskey, like a great story is meant to be shared.At Laws Whiskey House our whiskey is our story.
But exactly what is a whiskey house? To us it's a place dedicated to whiskey, a temple of sorts, a place to come and explore your passion for whiskey. Make no mistake about it, Laws Whiskey House is a distillery, but more than that it is where we can educate and share everything we know and love about whiskey. Our commitment to education is such a core part of our vision that the simple term "distillery" did not do it justice.
That is our story. And one taste will tell you there's not an ounce of fiction in it.
