Prohibition may be over, but the aftertaste still lingers in the mouths of wh***ey drinkers. By forcing alcohol production underground, Prohibition centralized wh***ey distilling in Kentucky and took away the distinct, regional flavors created largely by the water sourced for each brand. We here at Kindred Distilled Spirits are on a mission to bring back the unique flavor of pre-Prohibition American wh***ey by reintroducing America to Highspire Wh***ey made with Pure Rye. It was this notion, not to reinvent rye wh***ey, but to return to the origins of it that led us to the doorstep of Robert Wilson, the Irish immigrant who founded Wilson Distilling Company and Highspire Pure Rye Wh***ey. Wilson established the Wilson Distilling Company in 1823 on his good name and a promise: to bring a uniquely American flavor to the spirit of his native land. A visionary with boundless ambition, Wilson crafted a 100 percent rye wh***ey recipe that combined the finest rye of his day with the pristine waters of artisan wells on the grounds of the original distillery in Highspire, Pennsylvania. The inimitable flavor and quality made Highspire the most popular wh***ey of its day. If you were drinking wh***ey in pre-Prohibition America, you were likely drinking Highspire. Famous for its purity, Highspire was even prescribed by physicians to cure what ailed you. Today, Kindred Distilled Spirits is bringing back the classic taste and experience of pre-Prohibition American wh***ey made with 100% rye for the modern American wh***ey connoisseur. We have set out to craft wh***ey the traditional way: 100 percent rye mash and clean, cool water. We have are aging our wh***ey four months in used California w**e barrels with an addition to oak staves to bring a unique taste that sets Highspire apart from any wh***ey that is distilled using 100% rye. Kindred Distilled Spirits is proud to be able to bring you the original Highspire Wh***ey experience and we think Mister Wilson would be proud too.
