OUR STORY
Our company is devoted to making a new blend of bourbon using historically inspired techniques.The Original
In 1620, George Thorpe, our 7th Great Grandfather, came to America to establish a college, his contribution to history would prove to be much greater. Upon arriving in America George was introduced to the Indians of the region and more importantly, to their corn. In the fall of 1620, George substituted this Indian corn for barley and distilled America’s first corn whiskey. Thus, George became not only our grandfather but, the Grandfather of Corn Whiskey.
In a letter to home George referred to his new drink as a “soe good drinke of Indian corn” that was better than “good stronge English beer.”
Today, we continue our family’s four hundred year history of developing extraordinary whisky with our own “soe good drink.”
Introducing our exquisite bourbon, crafted with a meticulous blend of tradition and innovation.
Indulge in the symphony of flavors as you savor the sweet corn notes, the warm embrace of rye, and the gentle malted barley undertones. This bourbon is a celebration of craftsmanship, offering a distinct profile that is both bold and refined.
