About Lost Woods Whiskey Company

Lost Woods Whiskey Company is a Minneapolis-based distillery founded in 2018 by local nature enthusiast Tom Sheppie. Driven by a passion for bringing people together outdoors and preserving the environment, Tom created a brand that combines premium whiskey quality with a commitment to conservation.


Lost Woods produces American single malt whiskey made from 100% malted barley grown in Wisconsin, distilled in Northeast Minneapolis. After distillation, the whiskey undergoes accelerated aging and finishes in sherry-soaked barrels, giving it unique flavors of honey, caramel, and roasted grains.


Known for its quality, the brand has won three consecutive Double Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, achieving a Platinum Award in 2023. Additionally, Lost Woods donates 1% of all sales to environmental organizations, reinforcing its commitment to planet preservation.
