LECLAIRE, IOWA. Dannie Diesel's American Whiskey hits the shelves this week as a special collaboration between Danielle Colby and Mississippi River Distilling Company in LeClaire, Iowa. Colby of American Pickers fame is the producer of this weekend's Iowa Burlesque Festival in Davenport and will perform as her onstage persona named Dannie Diesel.
The whiskey is made from a Chinatown of four local grains: corn, wheat, rye and barley. The whiskey is sweet, spicy, smooth and bold all at the same time. Just like Dannie!
Dannie Diesel is the founder, owner and producer of Burlesque le'Moustache as well as the woman responsible for bringing the art of burlesque to our fair Quad Cities. Dannie has had a love affair with history her entire life. Burlesque being the bulk of her knowledge, she is preserving the memories of peelers of the past.
This limited release whiskey will be available only in Iowa to commemorate the Iowa Burlesque Festival at the Adler Theatre October 25-26, 2014. It is available to retailers through the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division with order number 27673.
A special bottle signing will be held at Mississippi River Distilling Company, 303 North Cody Road in LeClaire, on Thursday, October 23, 2014 from 4-6 pm. Whiskey will be available for purchase and Danielle will be signing bottles. Discounted tickets for the Iowa Burlesque Festival will be available for purchase as well.
