Dad's Hat Rye My Dad wore hats. Real hats. The kind you only see in old pictures or movies these days. He had a lot of hats. My Dad’s gone now. A symbol of optimism. The old way.

Visit our distillery for a one-of-kind tour and get a first hand look into everything that makes our delicious rye products a throwback to the good old days of Pennsylvania wh***ey. His favorites were Stetson fedoras, handcrafted in Philadelphia. Before he left the house each day, he’d carefully choose one from the rack and don it. The hat always seemed to fit his mood – or the occasion – perfectly. But my mind somehow keeps coming back to those hats. People don’t really wear hats much anymore, I suppose. It’s become an affectation or a fashion statement. But in those days, it was something more. That we cared about quality, polish and finish. A subtle, personal signature. From an era when taking the time to do it the right way mattered. I founded Dad’s Hat because I, too, want to do it the right way. To take up a tradition. To make something that mattered. By hand, in small batches. Using only natural, local ingredients and the most careful methods. Dad’s Hat is made right here in Pennsylvania — the birthplace of Rye Wh***ey — in honor of my father, who enjoyed rye wh***ey and served it at the family’s tavern; and of that wonderful, optimistic time in America’s history when we made a lot of things and took care to make them well. My heart tells me that many of us are searching for that spirit again. I believe Dad’s Hat Rye reflects that same simple, uniquely American personality better than any other wh***ey. Crisp. Smooth. Delicious — not lingering or heavy-handed in its finish. Perfect for every occasion. After tasting Dad’s Hat, we hope that you feel the same. By the way, I kept those hats. I still wear them. And you know what? They fit… Perfectly.

Thanks to our friends at Manoff Market Gardens & M2 C***ry LLC for teaming up with Dad's Hat to launch our Single Barrel Apple Brandy at their beautiful c***ry in Solebury, Bucks County. We nearly sold out of this limited release at our celebration of USA 250 and America's Founding Fruit - Apples. Apple C***r and Apple Brandy help fuel the American Revolution and we are so pleased partner with the folks at Manoff - turning their delicious c***r in to fantastic Apple Brandy.

We waited patiently for 2 1/2 years for this Single Barrel of apple brandy to mature into a delicious sipper. We also love it in our favorite cocktails like the Jack Rose. The extra time in the charred oak barrel has transformed this brandy into a caramel apple experience.
