Dancing Goat Distillery is proud to announce that the long-awaited expansion is complete and the grounds are now ready for eager guests to visit. The project included the construction of its first open-air rickhouse in 2021 — which currently houses more than 6,000 barrels. The expansion concluded in July of this year, doubling the distillery footprint from 17,000 square feet to a remarkable 34,000 square feet.
Thanks to the new square footage, new Vendome 18” continuous column, and three 6,000 gallon open top fermenters feeding the still, whiskey production capacity has quadrupled, all the while maintaining the award-winning quality that Dancing Goat Distillery is known for. The revamped grounds also boast a spirits vault and gin academy, offering visitors an exclusive distillery experience.
Dancing Goat Distillery’s new space has contributed immensely to product release, as well. The additional 17,000 square feet allows for on-site bottling for the popular Limousin Rye retailer single barrel program. The program enables retailers to sample whisky with a range of profiles and hand-select spirits based on their store’s needs, catering to both their new and seasoned whiskey customers.
Dancing Goat’s Limousin Rye isn’t the only spirit benefitting from the space’s new specs, however. Production for both Death’s Door Gin and Wisconsin-aged Dancing Goat Brandy has flourished under the recently expanded roof. Dancing Goat Distillery continues to extend limited product editions on-site for folks looking to learn more about flavor profiling and sip on fine spirits.
Dancing Goat Distillery is excited to welcome guests to explore the new grounds. From spirit production to hands-on distilling, Dancing Goat offers a range of tour options for every kind of spirit enthusiast. For more information, read below.
