a daily objective
American-Made, Craft Spirits
Daily Objective Distillery was founded in 2025 on Sterling Ranch in Amsterdam, Missouri (Bates County). What began as a casual conversation over drinks between Steve Parks, a retired Navy SEAL with a passion for art and distilling—and the Ranch owner, quickly became a shared mission and vision: to create something meaningful, rooted in the ranch, and American made, built by hand.

Grab your rig for DOD’s off-road day!
We are hosting our first Off-Road Days at DOD on August 15, and you’re invited to tackle the trails with us. Whether you drive a Jeep, Bronco, Toyota, a side-by-side, or any full-sized 4-wheel off-road vehicle, this is your chance to get some dirt on the tires. It is a mixed terrain route, but mainly off-road!
Distillery Tours
Enjoy a guided behind-the-scenes tour of DOD, featuring our history, batch distilling process, and production space. The experience wraps up with a curated tasting of select spirits, plus a DOD-engraved tasting glass to take home. Tours last 30–45 minutes and are offered during tasting room hours.
Private Events & Ranch Visits
We offer a large variety of private events on the property. Sterling Ranch has over 8,000 acres with multiple lodges, event spaces, hunting & wildlife excursions, spaces for board meetings and corporate retreats. Custom pricing is available.
Pickleball is now open! Reserve a Court Today
We’ve built out three regulation size pickleball courts! Whether you’re an experienced player or a newbie, you’re welcomed out here. Reserve a court or sign up for one of our leagues!
Live Music Every Weekend!
Join us every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for live music from local musicians and bands from around the Kansas and Missouri region. In case of bad weather, we’ll move the tunes inside to our cozy tasting room.
