We named this "Wisconsin Waffles" for a reason. Fresh-baked peach cobbler and waffles with maple syrup, all topped with cinnamon drizzle and served on a toasted oak slab. |

Selected by Two Souls Spirits from Wollersheim Distillery. We had a huge lineup of gold medal winning ryes to choose from...and this barrel instantly stood out as exceptional. |

Distilled from a mash bill of local grains and milled onsite. This is pure Wisconsin through and through. |
We love us some Wisconsin whiskey, and Wollersheim Distillery’s gold medal winning rye is certainly no exception. This rich and spicy rye boasts mouth-coating layers of fresh-baked peach cobbler, maple syrup, and warm baking spices atop an ample dry oak finish. We loved this rye the moment we tried it, and we’re confident you will too. Grab a bottle before the word gets out! Cheers!

Situated on the grounds of Wollersheim Winery, a National Historic Site in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, Wollersheim Distillery has been producing premium craft spirits since 2009. While distillation was initially limited to grape brandy, the distillery has expanded production in recent years to include award-winning rye, bourbon, apple brandy, gin, and absinthe. Under the leadership of Master Distiller Tom Lenerz, Wollersheim Distillery has been quietly releasing some of the best craft bourbon and rye on the market.
We initially contacted Wollersheim Distillery in late 2021, shortly after establishing Two Souls Spirits. With family in the Madison area, we had been able to sample their products numerous times since their inception and came away more impressed with each visit. In particular, their rye whiskey began to stand out as one of the best craft ryes in the US. However, with little if any distribution outside Wisconsin, many whiskey enthusiasts were unable to get their hands on anything from this up-and-coming producer. That’s something we can help with. We couldn’t be happier to help give Wollersheim Distillery the national spotlight that it clearly deserves.
