Ep 12 Fred Wisen Owner of Lake Erie Distillery

Fred Wiesen is the enthusiastic owner of Lake Erie Distillery in Lake County. His venture into the distillery business began after he grew weary of a desk-bound role in his industrial sales company, a career that spanned 40 years. 

The catalyst - road trip through several states, touring distilleries. Fred was motivated to craft high-quality bourbon after failing to find a version he loved locally. 

Originally planned as a hobby, demand skyrocketed, and now his products of vodka, rum, whiskey and bourbon grace the shelves of 42 stores.

Fred talks about his two biggest challenges along the way.

Hear Fred talk about his distilling techniques, the science behind bourbon, why quality is better than quantity and something you may not have known about hangovers.

How the mantras Fred carries into his business are key to his success.

Fred's candid insights into business, combined with his authentic approach to life and success, make for a compelling listen. Cheers to lessons in life and distillery! 🥃

So, if you’re ever in Lake County, check out Fred's distillery. You might just find your next favorite drink, minus the hard sell!
