    Canadian 101 (The right one!). sorry about the messed up file, this one is good!

    ITS A LIE!

    Canadian whisky/Canadian rye whisky/Rye Whisky are all the same thingThere are no rules around rye percentage

    John Molson is credited with first bringing distillation to canada in 1799, first distillery was 1832.

    Why age separate? Why distill separate?

    History of distilleryOpened in 2015 in the upstairs of big wood pizza in Nashville Indiana2107 began construction on current distillery CAMPUS325 acres with a touring and tasting room and restaurant 2018 sweet mash distillery officially opensThe property has a live music stage, hosts festivals, food trucks and a bar, all called “Hard truth on the Rocks”Hard Truth Distilling Co. is part of the BWQOHT, Inc. family of brands, which also includes Big Woods Restaurants and Quaff ON! Brewing Co.Brewers startTim O’bryan started brewing beer, the family really liked itHis father in law, Jeff McCabe, and Ed ryan went in as partner and they opened a brew pubBig Woods Brewing opens in 2009 2012 opens Quaff ON! Brewing corp.. It was an old bowling alleyJim Dunbar joins as a fourth partnerHard truth starts2015 they start distilling upstairs at big woodsWhen it took off at the restaurant they decided we arent going slow like they did for the breweryThe brewery changed locations and grew slowly. They would max out capacity and then keep moving up. This was slow movingFor distilling they bought the distillery land and planned to grow into it2017 brought in Bryan Smith as 5th partner, and the master distiller.Hard truth campus2018 campus opens. It's a disneyland for adultsYou can take ATV Tours of the campus2020 challenge 2020 pushed back the plans, but they leaned into the challenge and released new products and added new locationsSour mash vs sweet mashVery basically, Sour mash, think sour bread. You use mash from the previous set to “start” your next set.Sweet Mash has no starter. Every batch is its own batch, with nothing added to adjust the PH (which is the purpose of the starter in sour mash)Sweet mash is harder but more controllable because you start fresh every time, but you run the risk of bacteria.Sour mash is easier and safer, because it corrects the PH to help drive out bacteria.Sourceshttps://hardtruth.com/our-story/ https://www.abvnetwork.com/whiskey-corner/2019/2/25/whats-the-deal-with-sour-mash-vs-sweet-mash https://alchemistcabinet.wordpress.com/2019/02/01/sweet-mash-vs-sour-mash/ https://www.jconline.com/story/life/2022/03/18/hard-truth-distillery-gin-vodka-rum-whiskey/7047278001/

    VERY OPEN about their sourceOwned by O.Z Tyler and Latitude beverageProduced by O.Z. TylerO.Z Tyler changed its name to Green river Distillery in 2020Nowhere on their site do they claim to be anything other than a green river product. This was the first rye out of Green RiverGreen river was purchased by bardstown distilling in 2022History of green river founded in 1885 by John W. McCullochIt was the first in owensboroAnd the 10th distillery in KentuckyLike so many of these brands it passed through many hands and fell and rised in prominence throughout.Jacob Call is the master distiller, a 7th generation distiller.When they brought back the green river brand they talked with Rob McCulloch, great grandson of John, to make sure they got the story straight Its worth mentioning that “the story” is he sold whiskey and was a great marketer, thats it. There are little to no details on the original green river distillery other than a few awards it won and its slogan “Whiskey without regrets”Latitude beverageGot its start in Wine. Shifting the cost structure to provide high quality wines by skipping out on buying vineyards… so sourcing wine.It might be more complicated than that so don't rip them to hard for itThey own a few other spirits brandsNorth Cross Irish Whiskey, Copper and Cask, Zarpado TequilaThe juiceThis sour mash Rye whiskey is made from 95% rye and 5% malted barley. It's distilled in copper stills then matured in 53-gallon, charred American oak barrels for between three and four years. Like all of our small batch whiskeys, Wheel Horse Rye is bottled at 101 proof and is non-chill filtered.Sourceshttps://www.latitudebeverage.com/ https://kybourbontrail.com/a-legacy-revived-green-river-distilling-co-releases-green-river-bourbon/#:~:text=in%20September%202020.-,Green%20River%20Distilling%20Co.,of%20the%20finest%20in%20Kentucky. https://greenriverwhiskey.com/ https://wheelhorsewhiskey.com/

    History of distillery1890’s in scotts level, distillery owned by L. winand and bro. Produced pikeville whiskey. Pikeville was the next town over, not sure why they didnt name it scotts level rye.He owned it up to prohibition, and there is an elementary school and a tea kwan do facility named after him there. His story ends hrer1936, Andrew W Merle acquires the brand and the recipeAndrew was not a distiller, but a business man who now owned a well known brand. But he found a distiller and sarted producing Pikesville Maryland RyeHe formed “standard distillers Products” (SDP), which was also associated with….. The most corporate nonsense name ever seen….”The Corporation Trust Corporation” (CTC)CTC owned Monumental distilling, which was where pikesville was made, in Lansdowne, Maryland.Majestic distilling corporationIn 1942, there was some accident at the distillery, the details and little known, but there was an explosion and smoke stacks fell. pretty much right after this happened, Monumental distilling no longer existed, and it became majestic distilling. Owned by Zellic Cohen.It continued to be the distillery so whatever damage happened it was repairable. And there are a few pictures that seem to be relatively minor in damage.1972Majestic may be owned by Cohen, but the Merle family still owns pikesville brand.1972 is the last year they distill anything, and the branding changes to Maryland-STYLE RyePreculation is out on where they got the juice. Pikesville is the last maryland distiller at this time, so whatever the juice, its not coming from maryland. Most likely its pennsylvania Could be publicker, AKA continental distillersThe were the original distillers of rittenhouse, so its possible its them and that would be the conection to heaven hill later (spoiler)Michters also could have produced it.1982Andrew Merle Jr. sells pikesville to Heaven hill. Sales were low, and cost was high. It was time to get out.Note on monumentalMonumental is still around today as a brewery. It was located near baltimore and has become a destination brewery to visit.Maryland style rye?Maryland style has a lot of corn. Usually 60-70% rye, 20-30% corn, the rest malted barley Sourceshttp://www.ellenjaye.com/majestic.htm https://www.baltimoreorless.com/2011/01/pikesville-maryland-rye/ https://marylandspirits.org/what-is-maryland-rye/ https://distiller.com/articles/rye-whiskey-styles

    Rye 101

    Made with at least 51% rye in the mash bill.Aged in charred new oak barrels.Distilled to a maximum of 160 proof (80% ABV)Barreled at a maximum of 125 proof (62.5% ABV)Bottled at a minimum of 80 proof (40% ABV) and a maximum of 150 proof (75% ABV)

    Rye was the prominent whiskey of the americas at its founding. George washington had 5 stills and could produce 11K Gallons of Rye per year.

    Pennsylvania scots irish began distilling rye because of how well it grew in the area, and they wanted a dark spirit like their irish whisky at home. Though it doesnt taste the same, it has the whiskey feel that made it work for them.

    In 1810, KY produced 2.2 million gallons, PA proceed almost 7 million gallons. One county in PA in early 1800’s could give a barrel a whiskey to every other person in the US at the time.

    Rye is not an easy spirit to make, so when prohibition came there was a sharp decline, since the bootleggers made corn whiskey due to its ease.

    The stills were three chamber stills, this is a big reason it was hard for bootleggers, not as mobile and big. Leopold Bros from denver has a three chamber bottled in bond. He also uses an heirloom grain style called Abruzzi. This has a lower starch content, meaning they need to use more rye than modern strains, making it more flavorful.

    Empire Rye

    75% new york grown rye (Any type or combination of typesDistilled no higher than 160 proofMax barreling of 115 proofMin 2 years aging in chared new american oak100% produced in a single New York state distilleryYou can have multiple empire ryes blended together to make blended empire rye

    Heirloom ryes tend to be lower in starches and harder to grow with lower yields (We have the yields we have today because of breeding tactics to increase yields and flavors

    For the full Blog post on Joseph A Magnus, go Here!


    Title: Unveiling the Legacy: Joseph A. Magnus Distillery's Historic Resurgence and Modern Brilliance

    Introduction:
    Step into the past with us as we unveil the remarkable history of the Joseph A. Magnus Distillery. From its roots in Cincinnati to a contemporary revival, this episode delves into a story of resilience, innovation, and the unwavering commitment to preserving a legacy.

    Segment 1: Early Triumphs in Cincinnati
    Explore the early years of Joseph A. Magnus, a resilient entrepreneur who, by the age of 26, built a liquor empire in Cincinnati. With a keen marketing sense, Magnus introduced the Murray Hill Club whiskey brand, emphasizing unparalleled flavor, bouquet, mellowness, and purity.

    Segment 2: Prohibition Era and Legacy
    In 1918, anticipating Prohibition, Joseph A. Magnus ceased whiskey sales. Retiring to Oden, Michigan, he left a lasting impact, donating land to Petoskey that now houses Magnus Park. The legacy endured through challenging times.

    Segment 3: Rediscovering a Lost Legacy
    Fast forward to 2014, a great-grandson stumbles upon an unopened bottle of Murray Hill Club whiskey. Fueled by a passion to recreate this lost treasure, the family collaborates with industry experts to extract and analyze the whiskey. The journey culminates in the recreation of a 12-year-old bourbon, employing a triple cask finishing process with Oloroso Sherry, Pedro Ximénez, and Cognac casks.

    Segment 4: The Resurgence - Washington DC Era
    In 2015, Jos. A. Magnus Co. is reborn in Washington DC, not merely resurrecting but enhancing the legacy through modern techniques while respecting tradition. The commitment to quality and innovation led to the 2020 move to Holland, MI, reconnecting with historical roots.

    Segment 5: Coppercraft Connection
    Contrary to common assumptions, Joseph A. Magnus was not sold. The Windcrest Group, the investment company behind Magnus, acquired Coppercraft Distillery in 2016. Leveraging the facility for Magnus, they stay true to their commitment to legacy and craftsmanship.

    Segment 6: Carrying the Torch
    Today, Joseph A. Magnus Distillery continues to honor its Gilded Age roots. While Joseph Magnus himself may not have distilled whiskey, the commitment to excellence, creativity, and storytelling endures. The recreated Murray Hill Club whiskey stands as a testament to the intersection of history and innovation.

    Conclusion:
    This captivating journey through time showcases the enduring spirit of craftsmanship and tradition at the Joseph A. Magnus Distillery. From the marketing brilliance of Joseph Magnus in the Gilded Age to the dedication of his descendants in recreating and enhancing the legacy, every sip is a taste of history and innovation.

    History of distilleryowner/s Limestone branch(From https://www.breakingbourbon.com/review/yellowstone-select-bourbon) Yellowstone Bourbon was started by J.B. Dant (son of J.W. Dant) who, along with D.H. Taylor and J.T. Williams, founded the Yellowstone Distillery in the late 1880s. Over the years the distillery changed ownership several times, eventually landing in the hands of David Sherman in the 1990s. In 2006, the David Sherman Company rebranded itself to Luxco as a tribute to one of its co-founders, Paul Lux. In 2010, Paul and Steve Beam (descendants of both J.W. Dant and the Beam family) founded Limestone Branch Distillery, and in 2015, they partnered with Luxco to bring the Yellowstone brand back to its ancestral origins.When it was foundedWhere it was foundedFun facts of the locationWhy they chose to startTastingThe bottleThe look of the bottleWhat is written on itNotes on why it looks the way it doesThe juiceWhen was this expression createdWhy did it come aboutMash billWho made itThe typeDoes it follow the rules of a certain type of whiskey?
