Who We Are

Maryland is a whiskey state. Not just because of the fact that Marylanders love to drink whiskey, but there is also a longstanding history of whiskey here. While it may be true that the most famous bourbons in this country come from Kentucky, it was actually Maryland and Pennsylvania that would be the birthplace of American whiskey in late-18th century America. It was excess rye that subsidy farmers in these states used to turn into Rye whiskey, which eventually led to the Whiskey Rebellion (1792-1794) that sparked a paradigm shift in the ways that Americans view whiskey. It is our goal to return the tradition of great whiskey to the state of Maryland. Our 1794 Rye Whiskey pays homage to the longstanding relationship between Maryland and whiskey.
