Exploring Minnesota’s Craft Whiskey Distilleries

Discover the Craft of Whiskey

Embark on a road trip across Minnesota, visiting 18 artisanal distilleries. Each distillery showcases its unique process and flavors. Be aware, however, that the list of distilleries in the book is a snapshot. The distillery business is a very dynamic one with operations closing and others opening periodically. Always call in advance to check in with a distillery before you visit. Remember, if one has closed, it’ likely that some new distilleries have opened.
