Dad’s Hat, a Pennsylvania based rye whiskey distillery are attempting to revive the reputation of Pennsylvania Rye by creating a small batch whiskey with a focus on quality and flavour.
Our release is a 6 Year Old bottled at natural cask strength, and we’’ve filled just 289 bottles.
Rye whiskey was previously the whiskey of choice in the US, with Pennsylvania’s distillers making millions of gallons a year.
During prohibition, bootleggers created poorly made substitutes for Pennsylvania Rye, which was very damaging to its reputation. After prohibition passed it unfortunately never quite recovered, with people turning to Bourbon instead.
The distillery, founded in 2011, creates an ‘old-school’ Pennsylvania style Rye – 80% grain, 20% malt (15% barley, 5% rye malt), no corn, and a sweet mash recipe. They use local farms for their grains, temperature controlled fermenters, doing a five-seven day low and slow ferments to develop a complex flavour.
NOSE
Rye bread and allspice, but then very fruity! Dried fruit; cranberries, apricots, and chocolate covered raisins. The spices return with a hint of mint, and some wood char.
TASTE
Silky mouthfeel. Fruity and spicy with sour cherries, and cranberries. Woody spices; clove, a hint of cinnamon, and charred oak. A medium length finish that’s full of chocolate.
Savour the allure of our seven-year aged single malt whisky with an enticing aroma of brown sugar and white pepper. On the palate, relish a symphony of flavours, where luscious vanilla and caramalised toffee harmonise with a whisper of red fruit. This release exemplifies why our distillery is a connoisseur’s choice.

A Rare Opportunity: Waterford Single Malt Irish Whiskies
🌟 Celebrate a Legacy with a Historical Collection 🌟
The story of the Waterford Distillery is one of vision, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of quality. Founded in 2014 by Mark Reynier, a pioneer in the whisky industry and former owner of the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery in Scotland, Waterford set out to revolutionize Irish whiskey by embracing the concept of terroir—the idea that a whiskey’s flavor is deeply influenced by the place where its ingredients are grown.
Located on Ireland’s picturesque southeast coast, in the historic city of Waterford, the distillery was housed in a state-of-the-art facility that had previously been a Guinness brewery. Mark Reynier transformed the site into one of the most advanced distilleries in the world, combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Waterford’s mission was simple yet ambitious: to prove that the origin of the barley could create distinctive, farm-specific flavors in whiskey.
Despite its critical acclaim and groundbreaking approach, Waterford Distillery recently closed its doors, making its whiskies a rare and valuable part of Irish whiskey history.
Now, you have the chance to own and enjoy two remarkable single malts from this iconic distillery:
Waterford Single Farm Origin Lakefield 1.1
• Profile: Sourced from the Lakefield Farm, this expression reflects the farm’s unique terroir, with rich notes of honey-drizzled pears, warm spices, and toasted oak. Its smooth, layered finish makes it a delight for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers.
Bottled at barrel proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength ranges from 108 to 114 proof depending on the barrels. Surprisingly smooth, this bourbon retains the signature, front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker’s Mark while amping up the vanilla and rich oak notes.
Aroma: Big oak, vanilla and caramel
