Season Two - Episode Two: Wisconsin Distillery Tours and the Truth Behind the Seelbach Cocktail

Listen Later

The first Wisconsin distillery we’re “touring” is J. Henry and Sons in Dane Wisconsin. This family farm has been used to grow superior corn, wheat & rye, and these are the grains used in their unique bourbon. The shifting Wisconsin weather also adds a richness to their bourbon as it's exposed to the changing temperatures from aging in a historic barn on the property. 

Find out more at their website.
