FEW Spirits is based in Evanston, Illinois, just north of the north side of Chicago, along the western shores of Lake Michigan. Chicago has a rich, well-known heritage in terms of whiskey and the Prohibition era and FEW takes its name somewhat ironic name from the initials of Frances Elizabeth Willard. This Evanston resident played a prominent role not only in the suffrage movement, but (like many women activists of her day) was also instrumental with the temperance movement. Willard made Evanston the home of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union.
FEW Bourbon Whiskey is aged less than four years in charred new oak barrels from Minnesota. The Minnesota oak is younger due to a shorter growth season, thereby offering a tighter grain than normal cooperage timber, changing the aging dynamic somewhat. F.E.W. distills their bourbon from a mashbill of 70% corn, 20% rye and 10% two-row malt to 67.5% ABV and barrels it at 57.5% ABV, before ultimately bottling it at 46.5% ABV (93 proof).
