Cheers,Scott and JakeBourbon Lens About Cedar Ridge Distillery: In 2005, Jeff and Laurie Quint founded Cedar Ridge Distillery because they believed it was time for Iowa–the number one corn-producing state in the U.S.–to share its homegrown bourbon whiskey with the world. Today, as Iowa's first and oldest distillery, Cedar Ridge Distillery provides premium Midwest whiskey from America's grain belt, managing every step of production while allowing nature to be the ultimate guide. Influenced by its heritage of winemaking and roots in agriculture, Cedar Ridge Distillery consistently produces high-quality, award-winning products including Bourbon and American Single Malt Whiskey.

About Murphy Quint – Master Distiller and Director of Operations at Cedar Ridge Murphy grew up in the business with his parents opening Cedar Ridge Distillery while he was still a kid. His path to becoming the master distiller and director of operations for the company didn't just have him working at the family distillery, though. He also spent some time at Stranahan's Distillery in Denver before returning back to the family business in Swisher, Iowa. Since then he has held many roles, until he ultimately took over as the Master Distiller and is leading the future of whiskey at the Cedar Ridge Distillery.
