In 2005, Jeff Quint founded Cedar Ridge Distillery because he believed it was time for Iowa—the number one corn-producing state in the U.S.—to share its homegrown bourbon whiskey with the world.
Today, as Iowa’s oldest distillery, Cedar Ridge provides premium Midwest whiskey from America’s grain belt, managing every step of production while allowing nature be the ultimate guide. Influenced by a heritage of wine making and roots in agriculture, Cedar Ridge consistently produces high-quality award-winning products.
