John’s brother, Bill is the owner of Blue Ash Farm in Argyle, Wisconsin, about a 3 hour drive from the family’s hometown of Chicago. It’s here where Bill and his family make their own spirits, collect honey and maintain several acres of idyllic land and a lodge he built himself.
Fill a few stockings with Blue Ash Farms spirits this year and tell them Johnnie-O sent you.

A Family Affair: The O’Donnell Family Holidays
As our 20th anniversary comes to an end, we wanted to celebrate the holidays the best way we know how: getting together with the family. And it’s a huge family–our founder John is one of seven. Lucky for us, his brother Bill had the perfect setting for a party and photo shoot for our fall and winter collections.


Attended by three generations of O’Donnells, our holiday retreat at a family farm in Wisconsin included a photo shoot and a special dinner that rivaled their many packed occasions over the years. Great times were had by all, though some decided to skip the meal and went straight for dessert.
