Paradise North Distillery

Brief Overview of the Distillery

Paradise North Distillery is a family-owned artisan distillery in Green Bay, Wisconsin, founded in 2021. The place produces premium, handcrafted rum, whiskey, vodka and gin, and combines production with guest experiences such as guided tours, tastings, seasonal igloos, and live events. The combination of small-batch formats and public tours makes it a local gathering point for those who want to taste the house's spirits.

History

Paradise North Distillery opened in 2021 as a family business started by Tom Feld. The idea arose from Feld's wish to make quality spirits, and the rest of the family became involved in both operations and customer experiences. From the outset, the distillery has presented itself as an artisan venue that combines production with an active visitor program consisting of tours, tastings, and events. The family photo on the website names several members, and the company has clearly prioritized building relationships with local guests through bar and event activities.

Raw Materials and Production

Paradise North produces a range of handcrafted spirits: rum, whiskey, vodka and gin. The distillery's profile is artisan and family-owned with an emphasis on premium and 'hand-crafted, full-bodied' products. Practical production details such as raw material origins, fermentation times, distillation techniques or specific equipment are not described in detail; instead, craftsmanship is highlighted and small, visitor-friendly production formats are emphasized, along with the integration of production into guided tours and tastings, where visitors gain insight into the process and sample the products.

Maturation and Cask Types

There are no detailed details about fixed cask types, aging strategies, or experiments with finishes on the pages reviewed. The website focuses primarily on product type and guest experience rather than details about maturation.

Whiskeys

The range includes rum, whiskeys, vodkas and gins, presented as award-winning and handcrafted. The website's copy describes the products as premium and suitable for both bottle sales and use in signature cocktails on the distillery's menu. However, no concrete core releases, age statements, or fixed series are listed on the pages reviewed.
