FEW Whiskey

In the town of Evanston, Illinois, where the temperance movement once banned alcohol sales, a distillery opened in 2011 named after the very woman who fought for that ban. FEW is the initials of Frances Elizabeth Willard, a prominent temperance leader, and the name is a quiet, ironic nod to the few who opposed her cause. Founder Paul Hletko turned the town's dry past into a distillery now producing some of America's most respected small-batch whiskeys.

About FEW

FEW Spirits is the American craft distillery that deliberately set up shop in the heart of the temperance movement's birthplace and made a point of it. The name FEW, taken from temperance leader Frances Elizabeth Willard, sets the tone for a whiskey distilled in small batches with a spicy, artisanal character shaped by founder Paul Hletko's European brewing background. For beginners, FEW is an accessible entry point into American craft whiskey, while connoisseurs appreciate the story of the town's dramatic shift from 'dry' to home of one of Illinois's most acclaimed distilleries.

History & Background

Evanston was officially 'dry' for decades due to Willard's influence, and it was only in 2011 that the town again allowed alcohol production, making FEW the first legal distillery in the town's modern history. Founder Paul Hletko has a background from a European brewing family, shaping the distillery's approach to spiced, craft-driven production.

Production & Style

The whisky is distilled from local grain and matured in new, charred oak casks following American tradition, with a deliberate focus on craft, small-batch production.

Signature Style

Spiced, Craft-Driven, Ironic
Spice and a light smoky complexity give a whisky clearly bearing the mark of its European-inspired craft.
