Keeper's Heart American Pot Still Whiskey

Created to celebrate and unlock the moments worth keeping Keeper’s Heart is created to celebrate and unlock the moments worth keeping. Made with pride and a keen eye for time-tested quality, our whiskey is inspired by our family journey. Bringing together our Irish and American heritage and distilling tradition, we create whiskeys that are truly remarkable.

We’re proud to introduce our first self-distilled release, Keeper’s Heart American Pot Still. Triple distilled in copper pot stills and aged four years in virgin American oak, it’s a complex, full-bodied whiskey with notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak.

Our whiskeys unlock the best of times among friends and family. Enjoy every moment, for as our family motto says, Fugit Hora The Hour Flies

Introducing Brian Nation

Master Distiller

Meet Brian, our Master Distiller. He is an absolute legend in the world of Irish Whiskey and we couldn’t be more proud to call him a member of our family. Brian’s experience speaks for itself. For the last 7 years he was Master Distiller for some of the most renowned and high quality Irish whiskeys in the world including Jameson, Redbreast, Midleton Very Rare, the Spot range and Powers Irish Whiskey.

It is not just Brian’s taste for whiskey that brought him to Keeper’s Heart—Brian was captivated by the opportunity to bring his skills and family to America in order to explore new expressions in whiskey, bringing together two whiskey traditions to create something entirely new. We are thrilled he is part of the family.

“To be involved in a team that is creating a new whiskey, a new taste profile, a blending of American and Irish whiskey... that really excites me.”

– BRIAN NATION

  • Mpls St. Paul Magazine

    “A world class distillery, with a globally-known Master Distiller, is about to open in town… This is something the Twin Cities hasn’t really seen before… What they’ve already done is kind of incredible.”

  • Chilled

    “Their state-of-the-art facility was designed with the intent to make world-class whiskeys.”

  • Cyties

    “…A reason to fly to the ‘Land of 10,000 Lakes,’ especially if you enjoy fine whiskey… The forthcoming distillery in itself is an outright masterpiece…”

  • Whiskey Advocate

  • Beer Dabbler

    "Keeper’s Heart manages to be creamy, smooth, and inviting like your favorite Irish while still offering the brawny, toothsome complexity of an American whiskey."

  • Cool Hunting

    "Open in Minneapolis, O’Shaughnessy Distilling Co distillery is one of the most impressive new distilleries in the US."

  • Mpls St. Paul Magazine

    "Suddenly, the local distillery game has leveled up. We’ve had local labels go national, but we’ve never had one go global. O’Shaughnessy Distilling Co. just might change that fact."

  • SevenFiftyDaily

    "It is unique and delicious, and will no doubt inspire other companies to create international whiskey blends."
