After Prohibition, Mount Vernon was the leading distillery – and one of the only distilleries – left making rye whiskey in Maryland, once one of the country’s greatest whiskey-producing states. By then it was owned by National Distillers, which would eventually become a part of Jim Beam, and would shutter the brand entirely in the 1980s. The whiskey in this unique bottle was distilled in 1937 and released in 1943, a time where there was still hope that Maryland’s great distilling tradition could be revived – making it a historical artifact of immense importance.
