Old Pogue

[5] However, the brand's distillery was shut down by Prohibition in 1920,[6] making the distribution and distilling of alcohol illegal.

[3] When times became harder and alcohol was at a higher demand than ever, with the help of George Remus, they sold their whisky through bootlegging.

[10][11] The distillery produces roughly 200 barrels of bourbon, rye, and wheat whiskey each year.

[4][13] Thus, the bottles for the modern (post-2010) brand identify Bardstown rather than Maysville on the label as the origin of the product.

[citation needed] Old Pogue is bottled at 45.5% abv (91 U.S. proof), and is created from a rye mash bill with nine-year aging.
