Few Bourbon / 46.5% / 0.7l

FEW Spirits was founded in 2011 by Paul Hletko, whose grandfather owned a brewery in the Czech Republic before World War II.

The distillery is located in Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, home to the Women's Christian Temperance Union, where Prohibition was in effect from 1855 to 1972. The distillery's name comes from the initials of Frances Elizabeth Wilard, a former president of the organization that moved its headquarters to Evanston. The FEW Bourbon formula lists 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley, and the grain used in production comes from farms within 100 miles of the distillery. The whiskey is aged in small Minnesota oak barrels (capacity from 5 to 30 gallons) for about 3 years.
