Why Crooked Furrow™?
The name Crooked Furrow™ is inspired by a moment from founder Joel Kath’s childhood. While talking with Joel and his brother Jay, their grandfather—an experienced farmer—shared a thought that always stuck: “You can get more yield from a crooked furrow than a straight one.” To show what he meant, he’d lay a string on the table in a winding line, demonstrating how a little curve could lead to more.

That idea became the foundation of the brand—an homage to doing things differently, embracing the unexpected, and finding richness in the unconventional.

CROOKED FURROW™ is North Dakota’s first-ever bourbon whiskey—now aged to perfection for four full years. Crafted in small batches using traditional methods, it’s slowly conditioned to bottle strength while still in the barrel, a careful process that preserves the rich character often lost in large-scale production. The result is a bold, full-bodied bourbon with remarkable depth, smoothness, and complexity. Sip, savor, and taste the craftsmanship in every pour.

After six years of patient aging, Crooked Furrow™ Bourbon reaches a new level of refinement. As North Dakota’s first bourbon, it’s made using time-honored small batch techniques and is slowly conditioned to bottle strength in-barrel—capturing the full expression of its character. This extended aging reveals deeper complexity, rich oak influence, and a smooth, lingering finish that rewards every sip. Bold yet balanced, this 6-year bourbon is a testament to the power of time and tradition.
