Meticulously crafted from pure limestone water and the highest-quality Midwest grains, our spirits exemplify excellence in every bottle.
A Commitment to Quality and Partnership
It takes more than just the best ingredients to produce exceptional spirits; it requires strong partnerships. Our dedication to quality extends to our collaborations with top industry suppliers, ensuring that every step of our production process meets the highest standards.
Meeting the Evolving Demands of Future Generations
The pressure on distilleries to appeal to the next generation of whiskey consumers—Millennials, Gen Z, and even the upcoming Alpha generation—is immense and an ever-present challenge. These future consumers demand a wide range of flavors and taste experiences that evolve rapidly. While different cask types have provided diverse whiskey flavor combinations in the past, this technology is nearing its maturity. The industry now faces the challenge of discovering the next flavor differentiator in whiskey.
Introducing our Pinnacle Distinction Range
In response to this challenge, we proudly introduce the Pinnacle Distinction range. This innovative series features eight distinct distiller’s yeast products narrowed from over 2,000 strains of yeast, creating a highly differentiated array of new make spirit aromas and flavors. Leveraging our "Yeast for Flavor" concept, we deliver unique new make flavors that drive flavor innovation and create blending diversity. These flavors combine perfectly with the casks and barrels of your choice, setting a new standard in whiskey production.
