Wisconsin isn’t usually the first place people think of when they talk about bourbon, but some outstanding whiskey is being made at a small farm in Dane County. The Henry family grow their own grains here, focusing on heirloom varietals of red corn, wheat, and rye. After harvesting, the grains are distilled at 45th Parallel, barreled into new American oak casks, and returned to the Henry Farm for aging in an old, uninsulated dairy barn. The hot summers and cold winters pull out everything these barrels have, creating nuanced, robust bourbon that after just 5 summers in oak can rival some of the best in the country.
J. Henry & Sons Description
It all began with growing superior corn, wheat & rye on Henry Farms. When we decided to produce bourbon, we specifically selected an heirloom, red corn developed at the University of Wisconsin in 1939. We chose these grains because Joe’s dad Jerry grew them for 30 years (in the 1940’s - 1960’s). We had to repropagate these heirloom grains and are the only people in the world using them in our mashbill, making J. Henry & Sons Bourbon unique.
