Minnesota's Boreal Forest contains vast peat bogs, formed millennia ago by melting glaciers. Traditional whiskeys burn peat, destroying its delicate botanicals and creating bike tire-like flavors. We invented the Aitkin County Process® to capture the pure essence of Minnesota's ancient peat. Our award-winning Cold-Peated® American Single Malt Whiskey is the first and only whiskey in the world to feature the pure flavor of natural peat, thousands of years in the making. 43% ABV (86 proof).
