Yeah, it’s an interesting mix of characters, values and place: Christian Myrah, a former Navy combat fighter pilot from a Norwegian farmer/warrior background, now distilling hyper-local bourbon and whiskey using corn and grain grown on his family’s Minnesota certified organic farm. Then there’s Dessa, a singer/writer/rapper/poet born and of the Twin Cities, member of indie hip-hop crew Doomtree, living half-time in New York City where she visits her Puerto Rican relatives, performing with the Minnesota Orchestra, and touring worldwide.
Dessa’s Time & Distance bourbon
Together, they collaborated on Time & Distance, a certified organic bourbon that’s as smooth as silk.
It does make sense when you consider that both continually strive to raise the bar for excellence in their respective fields, they seek out good food and farming practices, and collaborate with talent and resources close to home.
