Honoring lost whiskey traditions through modern Southern craft
HERITAGE REBORN
The Return of Real Rye
Before the dark days of Prohibition forced American whiskey into the shadows, rye was the undisputed king of the glass. It was a spirit defined by character, not compromise—bold, spicy, and grain-forward, with a complexity that modern mass-production largely smoothed away.
For decades, that true "Pre-Prohibition" profile was a ghost story, a flavor lost to time and changing tastes.
Mersey Recipe No.6 & Captain’s Cut are our answers to that silence. We didn't want to just make a Rye; we wanted to resurrect a legacy.
By returning to a combination of spicey and sweeter mash bills, along with extended aging in Char No. 4 barrels, we have captured the raw elegance of the original American spirit.
This is whiskey with a backbone—unfiltered, undeniable, and exactly how it would have tasted a century ago.
ADVENTURE POURED
True adventure leaves a mark, whether it’s a wake in the ocean or the warmth of a rye that refuses to compromise.
The Queen of the Mersey carried our family across the world in 1862, and today, we’ve bottled that same relentless spirit of exploration in our whiskies.
Don’t just read about the journey—pour a glass, raise a toast to the horizon, and taste the history for yourself.
Bourbon Departed
"A Home Run Blend" "I think it's neat... it's a good spirit. It’s a good combo, man—that blend is unique. I don’t think we have any double ryes in our collection quite like it. It's a home run."
Ed Escott - Bourbon Obsessed
I very much enjoy this Mersey Rye. The two mash bills work very well together, with the fruit flavors tempering the rye spices a bit. But, the ryes spices are definitely still there. This is a rye that would likely be enjoyed by those who are fans of the 95/5 (95% rye, 5% malted barley) ryes, as well as those who are not as much a fan of the “in your face” rye flavors.
— Big Thirst Review
"An Old Fashioned in a Bottle" "A harmony of Rye and Bourbon, infused with African vanilla beans and Vermont maple syrup... It's flavorful, not sweet, and perfectly balanced with notes of crème brûlée and brandied apples. It’s the ultimate sunset sip."
