Lost Woods Whiskey Company

Minnesota-Made American Single Malt | Crafted for the Outdoors

Lost Woods Whiskey Company is a Minnesota-based distillery producing award-recognized American Single Malt whiskey that is clean, balanced, and refined. Inspired by the outdoors and guided by environmental stewardship, we are inviting Minnesota residents to learn more about supporting the continued development of our brand through this MNvest offering.

 

Company Overview

Founded in Minnesota, Lost Woods Whiskey Company was created around a simple idea: good whiskey brings people together — especially outdoors.

Our whiskey is designed to be shared at the cabin, around a campfire, or wherever people gather to slow down and connect. Every bottle reflects our focus on craftsmanship, authenticity, and respect for the natural spaces that inspire us.

We proudly donate 1% of all sales to environmental organizations, supporting conservation efforts that protect the outdoors we enjoy.

The Opportunity

Market Context

American Single Malt has seen increased consumer interest nationally in recent years, alongside growing appreciation for craft spirits with clear regional identity. Minnesota’s strong craft beverage culture and outdoor lifestyle create a natural home for a brand like Lost Woods.

Our Approach

Lost Woods focuses exclusively on American Single Malt whiskey, allowing us to refine our process and maintain a clear point of view:

  • Minnesota-made production
  • Small-batch, quality-driven distilling
  • Designed for shared outdoor experiences
  • Ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship

We believe there is an opportunity to continue developing a premium whiskey brand that grows thoughtfully while staying grounded in these principles.

 

What Makes Lost Woods Distinct

Industry Recognition

Lost Woods Whiskey has earned top honors at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC)—and the New York World Spirits Competition (NYWSC), the two most respected and competitive spirits judging in the world.

  • Double Gold — 2021 (Lost Woods 88) (SFWSC)

  • Double Gold — 2022 (Lost Woods 88) (SFWSC)

  • Double Gold — 2023 (Lost Woods 88) (SFWSC)

  • Platinum Award — 2023 (three consecutive Double Gold wins) (SFWSC) 

  • Double Gold — 2024 (Lost Woods 110, Full Cask Strength) (SFWSC)

  • Double Gold --- 2025 (Lost Woods 110, Full Cask Strength) (SFWSC)

  • Double Gold --- 2024 Lost Woods 88, (NYWSC)

  • Double Gold --- 2024 Lost Woods 110, (NYWSC)

At SFWSC, a Double Gold is awarded only when every judge unanimously agrees a spirit is exceptional. Earning that distinction three years in a row places Lost Woods in rare territory—culminating in the Platinum Award, reserved for sustained, uncompromising quality.

This is blind-tasted, third-party validation. No branding, no story—just what’s in the glass. And it consistently rises to the top. 

Focused Category

By concentrating solely on American Single Malt, we maintain clarity in our product and brand identity.

Purpose-Driven Model
