a PROHIBITION CAREFULLY CURATED CURATED CAREFULLY 1800’s FROM PROHIBITION

Prohibition. Ugh. Thirteen miserable years of no drinking, right? Well, not exactly. During this dry season

from 1920 to 1933, you could go to your doctor and get a prescription for medicinal whiskey. But not all states

allowed this. If you were sick in Indiana and West —two bone dry states—you saw a doctor in a

neighboring state to help with that horrible sickness to get your pint of whiskey. Or you called a bootlegger,

because—cough, cough—you were really sick. VINTAGE WHISKEY VINTAGE IMPORTANT LEGISLATION

Distillers, doctors and druggists lobbied Congress for fewer medicinal whiskey restrictions. It was tough

sledding, though. Dry politicians still argued whiskey was the devil, even if you were sick. VINTAGE WHISKEY

After Prohibition, investment rushed into bourbon unlike anytime before. But then World War II haunted

whiskey production: The government required distillers to cease distilling operations unless they were

willing to distill for the war effort. Major distilling houses made industrial alcohol that would be used to

manufacture parachutes, jeeps, rubber, etc. Bourbon distillers helped defeat the Nazis.

with then-new age drinkers wanting martinis “shaken, but not stirred.” They no longer wanted what their

parents drank—bourbon. The rise of white spirits was the death of bourbon. By 1972, many distilleries had
