Bottle Your Own Experience

One of the most unique distillery experiences has made its way to Wisconsin's first post-prohibition distillery. The Bottle Your Own Experience offers guests an immersive look into the final step of the liquor-making process while creating a personalized keepsake to enjoy at home. Participants will fill, cork, label, and take home a bottle of barrel-strength bourbon, complete with handwritten labels that capture the individuality of each release. Every barrel offers its own distinct flavor profile, proof, and personality

This inaugural batch of Dirty Helen Barrel-Strength Straight Bourbon is over 6 years old and amazingly smooth for a whopping 134 proof.

About the Spirit
“Dirty Helen” Cromwell was a Milwaukee legend who according to Milwaukee writer Bobby Tanzilo “was both beloved and reviled, celebrated and derided, an entrepreneur and bon vivant, who lived hard and played hard.” Nothing less than this barrel strength whiskey distilled, aged, and bottled in the town Helen called home can honor her lasting memory. Using the same mash bill and Wisconsin-grown grain as our Still & Oak Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Dirty Helen Barrel Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey features vanilla and corn notes on the nose with a robust palate of charred oak, roasted malt, and sweet corn.

Adds complexity and robustness to any classic bourbon-based cocktail.
Every barrel strength release retains a unique ABV*.

Reviews & Awards
Gold- 2020 Whiskey and Barrel Consumer Choice Awards
Beverage Experts: “Brilliant, medium amber color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of toffee, gingerbread, and honey with supporting notes of oak, grains, five spice, and crème brulee. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a caramel-driven core with flavors of fruitcake, roasted nuts, cereal, and butterscotch. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and ideally balanced with a voluptuous texture.” –5 Stars
