The Baraboo River is the longest mainstream restored free-flowing river in America. Melted ice caps, filtered through sand and limestone, the Baraboo water is unique. Sitting on the banks of the Baraboo River, using the advantages of such unique water, is the Driftless Glen Distillery. The distillery, restaurant, and shop are located in a beautiful area. CEO and co-founder Renee Bemis joins Old-Fashioned Football to talk about the distillery, how it started, and much more.
What started as an idea, turned into a dream. However, then turned into a successful business, the Driftless Glen offers an amazing product. With many different options to choose from between bourbons, ryes, vodkas, and more, you’re bound to find something you like. Starting the distilling process with a little guidance from Dave Pickerell, Driftless Glen makes all their own whiskey and have never sourced.
Everything about this whiskey is unique. From the mash bill to the bottle, which contains two thumb prints on it. These thumbprints belong to Renee and her husband. A tribute to them having touched each bottle and given it a thumbs up. Their approach and desire to make a great quality product is noticed right away when you hold the bottle, and then again when you taste the spirit inside it.
