I was talking with a distiller the other day about how little is known about pre-Prohibition rye whiskey distillers. It’s sad to think that about 200 years of generational knowledge was lost when the craft of rye whiskey-making was brought to an abrupt end in 1917. We still have a lot to learn about what they knew.

Most of the best distillers making American whiskey today learned from a only a handful of men and women. Those distiller-instructors learned from an even smaller crop of master distillers. This has led to a general consensus among American whiskey makers as to how whiskey should be made. Rye whiskey WAS NOT made the same way bourbon is made today. We need to rethink rye.

Oh man, Jay Erisman of New Riff Distilling couldn't have said it better-
"It’s not a stretch to call him the father of America’s modern rye revolution. He’s one of this country’s greatest rye distillers ever, and maybe the most important one post-Prohibition.”
I am a HUGE fan of Larry Ebersold. Known as "the Godfather of Rye," he belongs among the greatest distillers of our age. PLEASE read more about him in Whisky Mag's incredible article by Susannah Skiver Barton. #rye #whiskey #distiller
