Jonathan joins and John Mleziva live in front of a live audience in the State Line Distillery tasting room in Madison, WI. 

The State Line story begins 3,700 miles northeast of Madison, in Edinburgh, Scotland. John was studying to open his own brewery!  Soon enough, the intricate science and subtle art of distillation captured John's imagination, leading him away from beer and toward the production of spirits.

Fast forward - State Line is Madison's first grain-to-glass distillery,  where their spirits are made with heritage grains sourced from Wisconsin's Driftless Region.

They make: American Gin, London Dry Gin, Barreled Gin, Coffee Liqueur, Rum, Vodka, Aperitivo, Aquavit, Whiskey COMING SOON "arriving when it's matured" - and many of these are award winning!
