Overview

Whiskey Row 18th Century Bourbon is the one and only pre-prohibition style bourbon you might have found in a classy speakeasy or perhaps the Rathskeller Room at the Seelbach Hotel around the turn of the century.

The stretch of Renaissance Revival buildings located on Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky, is known as Whiskey Row. From 1850 through Prohibition, Whiskey Row became the trading centre for all spirits distilled in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia. Whiskey Row 18th Century Bourbon from upriver was warehoused and blended with Kentucky whiskey on its way downriver to New Orleans and overland to the West.

Whiskey Row 18th Century Bourbon is a blend of small-batch barrels that mirrors many of those early recipes, so you may enjoy the same flavours our ancestors enjoyed during the founding and westward expansion of our nation.

Distillery Information

Whiskey Row is the stretch of Renaissance Revival warehouses on Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky. From 1850 through Prohibition, it was the trading centre for spirits distilled across Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia, with bourbon moving through on its way downriver to New Orleans or overland out west. This bourbon leans on that history, blending small batch barrels to reflect the kind of whiskey that would have passed through those warehouses.
