Brother Justus Whiskey Co.
Join us at Brother Justus Whiskey Co. to raise a dram to St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland! We'll kick off the celebration with a blessing of our stills by a monk from the monastery of our namesake, toasting them living connection to the Irish monks who invented whiskey over 1,000 years ago. We will also name and bless our newest still, installed in 2023, through which we've begun doubling our production capacity.
Following the blessing, we'll be offering afternoon distillery tours. Go behind the scenes to see our stills and bottling line while learning about our distillation process, how Brother Justus Whiskey Co. started, and why Minnesota is the best place to make whiskey. After the tour, enjoy a guided tasting of our American Single Malt, Cold-Peated®, and Silver Whiskeys, plus a special pour of one of our limited-edition releases.
And since it's St. Patrick’s Day, we’re bringing back one of our favorite traditions: the Shamrock Shimmy. It’s green. It’s minty. It’s chocolatey. If you know, you know. If you don’t, you must.
