Distillery: Yahara Bay Distillery

Its original spirits were made in small batches in a 90-gallon copper still from Germany, which was assembled by Nick and his stepson Lars Forde, the head distiller but to keep up with their expanding product line and growing demand, Yahara Bay moved into a much larger facility in nearby Fitchburg, Wisconsin, last year. Just this May, a new 300-gallon, 24-plate copper fractional still was debuted at the distillery. The distillery stays away from anything artificial, including additives or coloring, in an effort to produce higher quality spirits. Among its mainstays is its best-selling Yahara Bay Whiskey, which is the first official aged whiskey produced in Wisconsin since prohibition.

Yahara Bay Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: A variety of notes poke through, including sweet tones of Halloween pumpkin candy, a sweet/savory aroma of grilled corn, a tang of turpentine, and floral honeysuckle as it breathes.

Palate: An initial touch of spice hits the tip of the tongue, tempered by a mellow sugar cookie sweetness and slight vegetal savory quality.

Finish: Smooth and rich.
