When talking about whiskey in the United States, the South—specifically Kentucky and Tennessee—comes to mind. However, it was Pennsylvania that led the nation in whiskey distillation in the 1800s with 3,000 fully-functioning distilleries across the state. Unfortunately, the industry was hard hit by Prohibition. All Pennsylvania distilleries closed their doors in 1919 and never reopened. Well…all but one.
Brothers John and Michael Shenk established the distillery to help increase profit from their crops, such as corn, rye, and barley. Revolutionary War soldiers were supplied with this whiskey to help them get through the brutal winters, and it is speculated that George Washington himself may have stopped at Shenk’s to buy whiskey for his troops on his way to Valley Forge.
Before it stopped operation in 1990, was the oldest distillery in the United States. Michter’s Distillery, known as Bomberger’s for decades, was famous for its rye whiskey, using the same recipe for generations. Fast Forward to 2011, under new ownership, Michter's now has multiple Kentucky locations.
