Mash bill

  • Corn60%
  • Rye20%
  • Malted barley20%

60% corn, 20% rye, 20% malted barley — a high-malt Wisconsin bourbon mash that leans cereal and caramel rather than Kentucky corn bomb. Local Midwestern grain and Driftless Area groundwater (basalt-sand filtered) are the terroir pitch; the elevated malt percentage is what you sell against standard 8-12% malt bills.
