Our Signature Whiskey
At Empty Barrel Distillery, we craft whiskey that reflects the heart and soul of Wisconsin. Made with locally sourced grains and aged in hand-selected oak barrels, each sip tells the story of our small-town roots and bold craftsmanship. Smooth, rich, and unmistakably Waupaca—this is whiskey with character.
Gin
Crafted with passion, our Gin is a tribute to the artistry of distillation. Infused with a blend of carefully selected botanicals, each batch is designed to balance bright, refreshing flavors with a smooth, aromatic finish. Whether sipped neat or mixed into your favorite cocktail, our Gin delivers a crisp, unforgettable experience that embodies the spirit of the Midwest.
Waupaca Blue
Inspired by the stunning blue waters of Waupaca’s Chain of Lakes, Waupaca Blue captures the essence of purity, clarity, and the beauty of the lakes surrounding us. Our Blue Agave is a reflection of the craftsmanship and natural inspiration that define our distillery. Smooth, refined, and full of character, Waupaca Blue is as rare and memorable as the lakes themselves.
Moonshine
Born from the rich history of Waupaca, Wisconsin, Empty Barrel Distillery carries the spirit of generations past—starting with our founder’s grandfather, a local bootlegger who crafted moonshine in this very town. Handcrafted in small batches, our moonshine honors the bold, resilient men and women who kept tradition alive under the radar. Whether sipped straight or mixed, each bottle carries the essence of Waupaca’s history—one drop at a time
