Founder’s Reserve 3 is Here!
From barrels hand-selected by Brother Justus Founder Phil Steger, our 2025 release of the incomparable, exceptional Founder’s Reserve is here, bursting with a microcosm of fruit and spice in each sip!
American Single Malt Whiskey
Aged in the World’s Coldest Oak™
By distilling malted barley, like Scotch, and aging the liquid in charred Minnesota white oak casks, like Bourbon, Brother Justus delivers something truly remarkable. A sip that’s approachable, yet profoundly deep and complex. Buttery smooth. Incomparably delicious.
Minnesota is where it all comes together.
Minnesota is the only state where four bioregions converge in a way perfect for making whiskey.
The Great Plains, with its deep prairie soil ideal for cultivating barley.
The Oak Savanna, where the
world’s coldest oak™ thrives.
The Boreal Forest, home to bogs rich with ancient peat.
Headwaters of the Mississippi River, cold and pure.
