  • This Cold-Peated® whiskey is wild: aged less than a year and it’s earthy and a little mushroomy…How do they do it?

  • Brother Justus is like the Apple of whiskey. From the expertise, simplicity, and how it’s presented…it’s all about the quality. Feels nice like you want to spend time there.

    — Rodney B., Guest

  • Brother Justus founder Phil Steger told us that his original goal when he founded the Minneapolis-based distillery was to produce the quintessential “single malt whiskey in the world…that captures the flavors, landscape and the climate of Minnesota.” We at Worth believe he succeeded.
