Wildcat Distilling Co. products win at International Spirits Competition

Two of Wildcat Distilling Co.’s premium whiskeys were winners at the American Distilling Institute’s 2024 International Spirits Competition.

Planter’s Pride took home the silver medal, and Plow Point earned the bronze, a testament to Wildcat’s dedication to creating authentic, Iowa-grown spirits.

Wildcat is based in rural Duncombe, and has a storefront in Webster City at 626 Second Street.

“These awards are a true reflection of the passion and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle,” said Alissa Nelson, co-founder of Wildcat Distilling Co. “We are proud to see Planter’s Pride and Plow Point recognized for the quality we strive to achieve.”

These awards add to Wildcat Distilling Co.’s accolades, following last year’s bronze medal for Tillman’s at the same competition, further establishing its position as one of Iowa’s finest craft distilleries.

Founded in 2020 by siblings Brad Lemke and Alissa Nelson, and their spouses Tony Nelson and Amanda Lemke, Wildcat Distilling Co. embodies the spirit of local heritage and authenticity through their Till, Mill, Distill process. The family-owned distillery focuses on quality, using grains grown on their family farm to deliver exceptional spirits. Their dedication to craftsmanship and community has earned them recognition as one of Iowa’s finest craft distilleries.

Beyond offering their award-winning whiskeys, Wildcat Distilling Co. invites whiskey enthusiasts to create their own unique legacy batch through the Soil to Spirit program. This customized whiskey legacy package lets customers craft their own award-winning whiskey using Wildcat’s or their own farm-grown grains.
