A Ribbiting Name with a Story
Green Frog Distillery isn’t just another name—it’s inspired by its rural setting. Nestled near a pond outside of Montrose, Iowa, the distillery got its name from the chorus of frogs chirping nearby. This simple yet charming connection to its surroundings embodies the spirit of the distillery: local, authentic, and full of character.
Handcrafted Perfection
“Too Purdy”
At Green Frog, whiskey isn’t just made; it’s crafted with care and precision. The distillery produces small-batch whiskeys in single barrels, each yielding 53 gallons of liquid gold. Using two stainless steel stills affectionately named “Too Purdy” and “Purdiest,” the team ensures every batch is made with meticulous attention to detail. To make it even more special, Green Frog grows its own corn along the Mississippi River, ensuring that every sip is truly a product of its Iowa roots.
A Flavor for Every Palate
Green Frog Distillery takes pride in offering a variety of unique whiskey flavors that cater to every taste. Their current lineup includes cranberry, pear, caramel, coffee, barrel-aged, corn rye, and straight whiskey. Whether you’re in the mood for something bold and classic or want to explore more adventurous flavors, Green Frog has something special waiting for you.
