The finest rye I have ever experienced, and the top American whiskey from the tasting. A friend pouring it described it as 'an old library book.' He was quite accurate. From a tasting event, 12/17/16.

This distillery was established as the Old Pogue Distillery in the late 1800s and was owned by Henry Edgar (H.E.) Pogue. The whiskey is made entirely from malted rye. Note: The listed price is for a 375 ml bottle.
