McLaughlin Distillery thinks small, but in a good way. Owner Kim McLaughlin, a veteran and former dairy farmer, crafts small-batch bourbon, whiskey, and naturally flavored moonshines with an emphasis on supporting local businesses and having a positive impact on the community. McLaughlin also prides himself in paying a livable wage, and lets each employee “grow within the company to fill the roles they naturally fall into.” We’ll drink to that.
