Meadville Rye Whiskey.
Forget what you think you know about whiskey. American whiskey was not born in Kentucky—it was crowned in Pennsylvania. And for generations, Pennsylvania Rye reigned supreme. Among them, one stood above the rest: Meadville Rye.
Distilled from a lost 19th-century recipe—rediscovered and restored with reverence—this is no tribute. It’s a return to the throne. If you know rye, prepare to meet its rightful heir. And if you’ve never experienced true Pennsylvania rye? With this pour, you’re not just sipping whiskey.
You’re tasting legacy. Prestige. Indulgence.
Local Grains. Original Recipe. Bottled In Bond.
Meadville Rye Whiskey is a true Pennsylvania rye. Our whiskey is made using the original recipe from the 1890s. Our rye and barley is sourced from local growers. And our rye is bottled in bond – what’s in the bottle comes directly from our still.
