About this bottle

Five Fathers is a tribute to 5 generations of the Pogue Family of distillers in Maysville, Kentucky. At the time of its 2013 release, this was the first whiskey distilled at the former Old Time Distillery in 70 years. 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.

d m n 4.0

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.
