About the Whiskey Society
The Maumee Valley Whiskey Society was founded in 2021 by Joe and Jessica Carter, who were passionate about whiskey and wanted to find a local community to share their interest with. When they discovered that there wasn’t a local whiskey society in their area, they decided to start their own. In its first year, the society has grown quickly and established itself as a non-profit organization.
Since 2021

purpose
Foster Community
The specific purposes of the Maumee Valley Whiskey Society are to foster a community of people celebrating camaraderie of Bourbon, our Native Spirit and educating on the heritage of American and International Whiskey while focused on the philanthropic abilities of Whiskey. In doing so, we have the ability to share with others the production process, legal parameters and broad palate of Whiskey – in a manner that benefits charitable organizations locally, regionally, and nationally.
Mission
