FIELD OF DREAMS WHISKEY FROM THE WORLD’S
MOST FAMOUS CORNFIELD
C orn, in general, doesn’t seek a lot of attention. But in the northeast Iowa town of Dyersville, there’s one stretch of farmland known by millions around the world. Why? Because this cornfield is at the heart of one of the greatest baseball stories ever told. IS THIS HEAVEN? NO, IT’S IOWA. In the 1989 film, “Field of Dreams,” Iowa farmer Ray (Kevin Costner) hears a mysterious voice whisper, “If you build it, they will come.” He does, and they do. And, just as Ray’s cornfield-turned-ballfield manifested legendary baseball players, the film created a lasting connection between corn and America’s favorite game. It’s this connection that inspired Drew Storen to create Field of Dreams Bourbon Whiskey. Drew grew up in Indianapolis, with deep roots in the corn belt. After retiring from his career as a Major League relief pitcher, he knew he wanted to continue telling the story of baseball and found the medium all around him. Field of Dreams Bourbon Whiskey is Drew’s love letter to baseball. HOW DO YOU TELL A BASEBALL STORY THROUGH WHISKEY? As whiskey fans know, great corn is critical to great whiskey. To be defined as “bourbon,” whiskey needs a mash bill of at least 51% corn. Field of Dreams Bourbon Whiskey is crafted exclusively with corn harvested from the original Field of Dreams—the only cornfield with its own baseball legacy.
