Old Quaker Whiskey

Old Quaker began in 1843, an age when most farmers were also distillers. In a way, this was the true origin of American Craft Whiskey. Today’s Old Quaker Whiskey celebrates this history in both name and spirit.

Three straight whiskeys — a bourbon, an American whiskey and a rye — each aged four years in oak barrels and bottled at 84 proof.
