From the Producer- "A sense of adventure, the right place at the right time, new friends and thinking outside the box gave birth to Skaalvenn Distillery. We don't have a story about being descendants of bootleggers and we don't make any other outrageous claims to sell our appeal. We're your average Minnesotans who took a leap of faith by starting a small business without investors or using big bank loans. We want to make great spirits at modest prices and by having a lot of fun throughout the process. We believe Skaalvenn accurately reflects who we are.

We created Skaalvenn Distillery with the intent of creating a distillery that is fun, exciting and down to earth. We are professionals who believe in making good liquor--but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We wanted to create a place where everyone is welcome regardless of social or economic status. It doesn't matter if you wear worn out work boots or an expensive set of wing-tips; you're welcome at Skaalvenn."
