Colleen Graham, the cocktails editor for the NY Times About.com website, awarded Cedar Ridge Iowa Bourbon a Five Star Rating declaring it "fantastic...ultra-smooth and flavorful...A whiskey you want to sip straight." Cedar Ridge is Iowa's first micro-distillery. In 2010, they launched Iowa's first bourbon since the Prohibition era. Made from nearly 75% corn, Cedar Ridge Bourbon Whiskey is crafted in small batches in our European-engineered 80-gallon pot still for a high-quality, smooth, premium bourbon that is receiving rave reviews at tasting events across the Country and selling off the shelves. Think of it as a great reason to venture north of St. Louis as you explore the lands near the Mississippi River!
