About Whiskey

Let’s set the scene: Think 1700’s, Irish settlers, and western parts of early Virginia. Humble beginings for our beloved American style whiskey. Iron-free water, fermented mash (mostly corn), and evenly charred white oak barrels give bourbon its flavorful characteristics and amber colors after being aged for at least two years. The early Americans put a new spin on the old “water of life”, creating a concoction that quickly became a part of people’s economic stability and thier blood streams. There is a rich American history full of forefathers and trade dealings behind american whiskey that deserve exploration (on your own time, of course). Mix that with time tested process and healthy competition for the ultimate blend, and you have a wide array to enjoy. Go fix a drink right now.
