StilL 630
Brief overview of the distillery
StilL 630 sits a few blocks from the Gateway Arch in downtown St. Louis and produces whiskey, bourbon, rye, gin, and rum on a small, craft setup. The distillery focuses on old‑world double distillation, locally organic ingredients, and a mix of steady small‑batch releases and numerous limited releases, making the place a living hub for local spirits enthusiasts.
History
David Weglarz is the owner/operator and the driving force behind StilL 630. He has articulated an ambition to create uncompromising, characterful spirits, and the distillery’s name clearly ties the company to St. Louis through references to the city and the Arch monument. The site notes that the distillery has been recognized with several awards and in 2026 marked several notable events, including anniversary releases in the 'Indomitable Spirit of America' series and a cask-strength release of Due Process Five Year Bourbon.
Raw materials and production
Production centers on craft and time. Raw materials are sourced locally and organically wherever possible, and the distillery uses old‑world double distillation rather than single distillation. Work is done in small batches with an experimental approach, reflected in both steady whiskey lines and frequent special releases. In addition to bourbon and rye, StilL 630 also produces gin and rum, which demands flexible production methods and different distillation and aging.
Maturation and barrel types
Whisky and other spirits are aged in various wooden barrels; the text generally mentions 'wooden barrels' without specifying wood types or previous contents. The distillery uses approaches such as cask strength releases, bottled‑in‑bond bottlings, and private single‑barrel releases as part of their maturation and release strategy.
Whiskeys
The portfolio ranges from standard small‑batch Missouri bourbons and RallyPoint rye varieties to more experimental and limited bottles. Examples in the lineup include Due Process Five Year Bourbon (cask strength), Missouri Straight Bourbon (small batch), RallyPoint rye releases, S.S. Sorghum (bottled‑in‑bond), as well as a number of limited anniversary releases under the 'Indomitable Spirit of America'. The distillery also has gin and rum lines, as well as special releases such as private single barrels.
