74.8% corn, 4.2% rye, 21% malted barley. Mammoth names the grains as Wapsie Valley corn, Wheeler rye and Odyssey barley, and the malted barley share is five times the rye. Mammoth also uses Wheeler rye in its Woolly Rye, where it is grown by the Shooks family on their farm in Central Lake.

Why it's craft
Northern Bourbon is a blend: Mammoth starts with straight bourbon distilled in the Ohio Valley, which it did not make, and folds in Woolly bourbon that it distills itself in Central Lake, Michigan. The blend is finished on staves of toasted Michigan cherry wood and aged in the distillery's cooler northern rickhouse. It follows the house's Northern Rye series, which pairs older whiskey with Mammoth's own spirit in the same way. Chad Munger founded the distillery in Central Lake in 2013.
