This week, the Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board presented Driftless Glen Distillery in Baraboo with the 2019 Heartland Whiskey Competition’s Best of Wisconsin award.
The competition, which is held by the American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA) in partnership with state corn marketing associations, took place June 4 at CH Distillery in Chicago, Ill. Driftless Glen Distillery was also named winner of the Rye Category for its Driftless Glen 51 Rye.
“We are proud to partner with the ACSA to promote yet another great product made from Wisconsin corn,” says Randy Woodruff, WCPB President. “Congratulations to Driftless Glen Distillery for representing our state so well!”
