Gonzo and Amy Sherman sit down with David Wallace and Heidi Bolger, who will continue as sole owners of Iron Fish Distillery after it was announced in January of 2026 that co-founders Richard Anderson and Sarah Anderson agreed to sell their ownership interest to fellow co-founders.

They talk about what it was like to build one of Michigan's most notable and successful spirits brands in less than a decade.

Established in 2016, Iron Fish Distillery stands as Michigan’s first farm distillery,
cultivating grains, distilling spirits, and aiming to perfect the art of barrel-finishing
sourced whiskey. To date, their library of aged spirits exceeds 2,500 barrels.
