George Keel, Distiller at Keel & Co. Distilling in Headland Alabama
Our Master Distiller, George Keel, began his distilling career in the 70’s learning the craft of distilling. Over the past several decades he has experimented with many grains and processes to make spirits – some so bad that they had to be used as fire starter or ant killer and a few so good he kept the recipe for production product. Over time, he has perfected the science and the art of selecting the proper grains, water, and yeast for his creations. He has mastered the art of making the “cuts” and developed his process for making a quality whiskey. His quest for perfection has enabled Keel & Co. Distilling to launch our premium Small Batch and Single Barrel products. These include the George Keel Rye Whiskey, Corn Whiskey, and Corn Vodka.
