OUR PROCESS
Pure Pennsylvania
HONOR THE GRAINS
RYE
Our heirloom ryes, bold and imbued with spicy undertones, is the embodiment of Pennsylvania’s whiskey-making legacy. Meticulously selected for their robust flavor profile, rye is at the heart of our spirit, offering a distinct richness and depth. Each batch celebrates this heritage grain's storied past, bringing a piece of Pennsylvania’s whiskey history to the modern connoisseur.
Malt
Our malt, grown, harvested and malted in Pennsylvania, brings a harmonious blend of sweet and earthy tones, contributing to a well-rounded and satisfying whiskey. Our dedication to using the finest malt exemplifies our commitment to crafting a whiskey that's not just enjoyed but remembered and revered for its quality and flavor.
Corn
The corn we use in our bourbon is a blend of Wapsi Valley and Minnesota 13, two incredibly flavorful open-pollinated varieties. Unlike the Yellow Dent #2 corn used in the bulk of America's whiskey production, our corn gives real character to the whiskey. With notes of orange peel and cocoa surrounded by a buttery richness, our corn contributes more to our bourbon than just alcohol. It is the soul of the spirit.
Barley and Danko Rye
Snyder Farms is a cornerstone of our spirit's journey, providing the finest Barley and Danko Rye for our distinguished blends.

MATT STRICKLAND
Our Master Distiller began his career in alcohol many years ago when he began doing microbiology research for the Oregon Wine industry during graduate school at Oregon State University. Upon obtaining his Master’s degree he somehow stumbled his way into the wonderous world of whiskey distillation. And once he started working with stills, he never looked back. Since then, he has built numerous distilleries both as a distiller and as a consultant. He also began teaching the science and art of distillation through numerous organizations throughout the United States, Canada, and the UK. In an effort to further the field of whiskey education he has authored countless articles, webinars, and talks. He has also written two highly regarded books for the industry, Cask Management for Distillers (White Mule Press, 2020) and Batch Distillation: Science and Practice (White Mule Press, 2021). Matt lives in Pittsburgh with his wife and two precocious daughters. His hobbies include rock climbing and shopping for cars his wife will never let him buy. He also believes that irony is not a prerequisite for listening to Journey.
