Dedicated to traditional slow, small batch, we have grown to 2 locations and an event center. PROCESS GRAIN TO GLASS PRODUCTION 45th Parallel's process is a full circle local production and it begins at the Rusmar farm. CONTRACT DISTILLING WE DO THE WORK JUST IN YOUR BOTTLE We are a full service contract production facility offering bulk production and private label bottled spirits. We craft whiskey, aged spirits, vodka, gin, other infused spirits, liqueurs, rum, brandy, and more. 45th Parallel Whiskey Our whiskeys are truly small batch in every detail. The whole grains come to us from Rusmar Farms, located just 8 miles from the distillery. From there, the entire process – milling, mashing, fermenting, distilling, aging, and bottling – is done within our facility. Our whiskey is aged for at least five years in Ozark White Oak barrels from a family-owned cooperage before it goes into a bottle.
