Whiskey Finished in Rum Barrels (Anticipated release Spring/Summer 2024)

We are currently finishing some of our onsite produced and aged whiskey in our used honey barrels. The honey previously held in those barrels was produced by 4 hives located on our property. We are hoping that you will be able to taste some of the sweetness of our land in this spirit.
40 WINKS CINNAMON WHISKEY

VODKA
RFD VODKA
RFD Vodka is Onsite distilled and named after the Rockford airport (the Former Camp Grant) which the distillery overlooks. The crystal clear product starts with 100% corn which is multiple distilled, using a Column Still and then sent thru our onsite Bain Marie Still to control time on copper for a clean finish. The Vodka is then filtered using coconut shell activated carbon which “softens” the distillate and creates an even cleaner finish. We then “proof” the spirit to 40% alcohol by volume.
RFD CUCUMBER VODKA
This first RFD “From the Farm” Vodka Series highlights the flavors that are found in the Midwest and more specifically on our specialty crop farm. Our Cucumber Flavored Vodka is created onsite by cold distilling under vacuum using fresh cucumbers grown on our farm. This process results in a fresh, clean and crisp spirit with no artificial flavorings or added sugars.
RFD HORSERADISH VODKA
Tim went a bit crazy on this one when he combined our clean and crisp RFD Vodka and fresh Horseradish.

Earthy and savory with notes of radishes. Finishing slightly spicey and clean.
RFD DILL PICKLE VODKA
Inspired by our friends at Lena Brewery, this RFD “From the Farm” Dill Pickle Vodka is created onsite by cold distilling under vacuum using Dill Pickles, Pickle Juice and Pickling Spice. From the nose to the finish this spirit is a dilly pickle in a bottle. Finishing bright with a bit of brine.
