We use organic and heirloom grains, and for our whiskey, small-crop conventional rye if we can’t find enough local organic. Even though these grains have less starch and much lower yield, we feel these grains make Mischief spirits more flavorful, and give them a softer finish. It’s worth it to us because we want to make the very finest for all who choose our spirits. The heart in our logo is a symbol of our pledge to you. Hearts are the center cut – the very finest spirits produced during distillation. Hearts also symbolize the very best of the human spirit. For us, Fremont Mischief is both. Mike Sherlock, owner
