Iowa

Iowa, land of vast cornfields, has established itself as an emerging player in American whiskey. Thanks to its access to high-quality grains, the state produces richly flavored bourbons and artisan whiskeys, often marked by sweet notes of caramel, vanilla and spice. Distilleries like Cedar Ridge, Templeton Rye and Mississippi River Distilling Co. continue the tradition while bringing a modern twist to their spirits, making Iowa a must for whiskey lovers.
