David Weglarz

Dave Weglarz ’03 absolutely loves what he’s doing.  Love is NOT too strong a word.  His excitement and enthusiasm gushes from every pore.

The Grunge got a chance to see him in action at Still 630.  It’s still small – but sales and inventory are growing.  It’s still a one man operation – but his family, including bride and new son – are all in.   He’s perfected the Rye Whiskey…and is already working on a couple of new products.

Dave walked me through the process. He knows this business inside and out.

He always knew he wanted to own his own business.  He wasn’t sure what it would be…but I think he is on to something.  I know what going to work with a smile on your face looks like (all fighter pilots do!) and he has that look!

In a true Wabash man, he has done his homework.  He learned the chemistry part…and the cleaning out the vats part.  He can explain why the wooden barrels he uses are the best there are.  And he knows how to distinguish a good batch from a great batch.  He is exactly what you would expect if you looked up Wabash entrepreneur in your Funk and Wagnalls.

English major….with serious chem skills.

RallyPoint Rye Whiskey.  Seriously good.  New things coming.  Wabash through and through.
