Perfect for those who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and a good story with every sip.
Unique to Us
Let us take you back to prohibition
Sextro Rye Spirits. We use the recipe that one of Templeton, Iowa's original bootleggers, Lorine Sextro, used when her family farm was home to a closely guarded secret distilling operation.
We create a sweet mash wort on site, using only the finest quality 100% organic rye grain. Grown especially for us by a local Iowa farmer, Brian Irlbeck. Each run is created in small batches and handcrafted just like grandma used to make it.
Making up the team are co-founders Heath Schneider and Rich Eggers. While Heath, as a successful businessman, markets, finances and promotes Sextro Rye, Rich is the master craftsman behind the operation. Together they carry on the Sextro family tradition, producing small batch, one-of-a-kind rye spirits.
