About Us
We believe that great whiskey isn't made. It's Grown. At Whiskey Acres, we go well beyond small batch distilling. As farmers, we start by researching the best corn, wheat and rye varieties for making premium whiskey and plant them in our fields carefully chosen for their unique soils and optimal growing conditions. After sustainably raising them all season we harvest our grains at their peak maturity and flavor, saving only the best for our own use. Finally we carefully distill that grain, one batch at a time, right here on our farm 60 miles west of Chicago, in order to create artisan spirits that are more than handcrafted. They are Farmcrafted. We are the first Estate Distillery in Illinois and one of the few in the United States. Even our pure, limestone filtered water comes from directly beneath the DeKalb County land our family has farmed for generations. Raising premium grains is our way of life and turning them into premium spirits is our passion. All of our whiskeys are proudly grown from Seed to Spirit.
