The best rye I've ever tasted, and the best American whiskey of the tasting. In the words of the lumberjack pouring it, it's like 'an old library book.' He was spot on. From tasting event, 12/17/16.

About this bottle
Five Fathers is a tribute to 5 generations of the Pogue Family of distillers in Maysville, Kentucky.

The distilery became the Old Pogue Distillery in the late 1800s owned by Henry Edgar (H.E.) Pogue. It's made exclusively from malted rye. Note: pricing is for 375 ml.
