OUR PRODUCTS

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!

ROOTED IN THE “618”

A BIT OF HISTORY…

Our family roots run deep in Fayette County…

And the historical building we call our home has a storied past.
