A GRAIN-TO-GLASS DISTILLERY…
We are a grain-to-glass distillery. All our whiskeys, including bourbon, rye, and limited releases such as 5-Grain, are tributes to the distiller’s who’ve crafted spirits in Illinois for nearly 200 years.
Just as they did…
PRISTINE WATER
We begin with pristine water from a local spring not far from our home in historic downtown Vandalia.
HAND-SELECTED INGREDIENTS
We use local, hand-selected grains for our whiskeys, & craft our rum with molasses & turbinado sugar sourced directly from Louisiana.
A CUSTOM PROCESS
We mill the grains, ferment, distill, barrel, & bottle on-site. Spent whiskey mash returns to the farm and is fed directly to our cows. And they love it!
