Awildan (ah-WILL-den) is an Old English word meaning to make or become wild. At Awildan Distilling, Jeff Olson is inspired by the natural world and humankind’s long, intertwining connection to the wild. Awildan Distilling was founded with the mission to heighten the joy of living, and to elevate life’s experiences through exceptional whiskey and spirits.

Derrick and Jonathan join Jeff in the Awildan tasting room in Sun Prairie, WI to taste their way through a journey of spirits including Genever and Poitin and Spiced Rum. Jeff brews beer too so we chat about his transition from being a brewer to distilling spirits and how those experiences compare.

Jeff believes if he isn't proud of the spirits he's creating, it isn't worth the work.
