Charred Oak Rye Whiskey

Under Yahara Bay's Trade name, Off the Clock Spirits, Charred Oak Rye Whiskey has been delicately aged 18 months in 50 gallon southern white oak barrels. With a medium/light char and a grain bill of around 60% rye, this whiskey has a smooth and unique finish that will delight any palate.

Extra Dry Gin

Crafted using a proprietary blend of botanicals that include juniper, fennel, and coriander; this extra dry gin has an earthy yet clean finish. Our unique steam infusion process imparts subtle flavors that are never harsh or bitter. Perfect for martinis, gimlets, or on the rocks.

Premium White Rum

It starts with the highest food-grade molasses and a touch of Wisconsingrown sorghum, giving this rum a hint of sweetness and uncommon depth. In keeping with traditional Caribbean style distilling we use a yeast developed specifically for rum fermentation. Smooth enough to drink straight and still perfectly at home in your favorite rum and cola, mojito, or daiquiri.

Apple Brandy

We use Wisconsin-grown Honeycrisp apples picked at their peak to create this Yahara Bay original. Made in the Calvados style, this deep amber-colored spirit has the body of brandies ten years its senior. With a delicate apple scent and a powerful punch of heat upon delivery, it’s sure to warm you from head to toe.

V Bourbon Whiskey

Introducing V, Yahara Bay's new 2012 Whiskey Bourbon. Already a 2012 gold medal winner at the MicroLiquor Awards, V is aged 3 years and is artisanally crafted in small batch/single barrels. "Revealing anything more would ruin the FINISH."

Cocoa Liqueur

Made with all-natural, dark bittersweet cocoa, and this liqueur has a smooth flavor on the tongue with a strong cocoa aroma and a slightly bitter finish

Yahara Bay Kirschwasser

Kirschwasser

From the German word for “cherry water” Yahara Bay Kirschwasser is a highly refined unsweetened cherry brandy made from 100% Montmorency tart cherries grown in Door County Wisconsin.

Holz's Apple Crisp Liqueur

Holz’s Apple Crisp Liquor, is made from a secret recipe that captures all the best flavors of fall. Heavy with apples, cinnamon, and a touch of brown sugar, Holtz’ is ideal for tailgating, autumn cocktails, or warmed with cider; the perfect spirit when you need to be reminded of why you live in Wisconsin.

Coffee Liqueur

Yahara Bay's Coffee Liqueur is a unique and bold blend of local roaster's Ancora Coffee and our famous whiskey. This liqueur is perfect over ice or paired with Yahara Bay's Cocoa Liqueur and a touch of cream. Any coffee lover's dream!

Premium Vodka

Distilled four times then filtered three times makes this small batch vodka extra smooth. Produced from Wisconsin grown Honeycrisp apples and corn, this lively spirit leaves hints of pepper, anice, and caramel corn on the tongue. Perfect for mixing or served neat over ice. Awarded a silver medal by the Beverage Tasting Institute.

Yahara Bay Lightning

Yahara Bay Lightening

Lightning Whiskey is a throwback from the days after prohibition. This white whiskey is 110 proof made with corn, wheat, barley and rye. Bottled straight from the still, this spirit will give you a taste of moonshine minus the burn!
