Griff's Cowboy American Whiskey

Griff's Cowboy Whiskey is meant to celebrate the "American cowboy." As of April, 2012, the website suggests a Griffin Ranch Microdistillery. The recent filing with the federal Tax and Trade Bureau sources the whiskey itself at the Cedar Ridge Winery and Distillery in Iowa, which we note here as the producer. According to a write-up at the Eastern Iowa Life, the whiskey is named for Scott "Griff" Griffin of Cedar Ridge. It is made from a base of Iowa corn in honor of the 19th century cowboy.

Griff's Cowboy American Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose of this young whiskey features woody spice and hints of orange and clove.

Palate: Its buttery, sweet taste is pleasant on the tongue and complemented by subtle notes of cedar and tobacco.

Finish: But its finish — short and quick, with traces of honey and butter — is found wanting.

Distillery Information

Nestled in a picturesque stretch of the Heartlands, just outside the town of Swisher in Eastern Iowa, sits Cedar Ridge Vineyards, Winery, and Distillery. Family-owned by Jeff and Laurie Quint, Jeff serves as both Master Distiller and Master Winemaker at the small operation, which has an outsized reputation for quality. Cedar Ridge — the first micro-distillery in the state — began distilling vodka back in 2005 before moving onto fruit liqueurs and, eventually, bourbon, crafting Iowa’s first bourbon whiskey since Prohibition.
