SPECIAL RELEASE
Founder's Reserve
“The barrels I selected for our first-ever Founder’s Reserve express my founding desire to make a single malt whiskey that contains Minnesota’s grand landscapes in a glass. Each sip blooms with the toasted malt and tallgrass herb of our prairies, the vanilla oak and caramelized stone fruit of our leafy woods, and the dark, resinous spice of our boreal forest, with a finish as fresh and clean as our sky-blue waters. And at full proof, it has even more of the spirit of Minnesota’s rebellious monk, Brother Justus. Enjoy!” — Phil Steger, Founder & CEO

For Phil Steger, creating whiskey and building a distillery has always been about more than a flashy bottle and and an incredible product — it’s about conviction, belief, and possibility.
