Heirloom Pre Release Sampling Experience
When you want to know what Whiskey tasted like before prohibition, you have to also talk about the corn grown then. And by talk about, we mean learn every.intimate.detail.ever. This program is the effort of decades of time, energy and research of small, but dedicated group of individuals. We release one varietal per year, in limited quantity. We work with local farmers to propagate and grow these corn varieties and then grind, distill and age. We make only what the crop yields so once gone, there are no guarantees it will return.
This year’s Heirloom Whiskey is hitting the shelves this fall, but we’re suckers for sneak peek. Join us on Sept 16, 2023, for Heirloom Wapsie Valley Pre-Release Sampling Experience where you can look into our whiskey vault and taste past heirlooms no longer available, try future heirlooms still in barrel and get the first taste of this year’s Heirloom – Wapsie Valley! Space is extremely limited – only 25 people per time slot, so reserve your spot today!
