McFarlane's Reserve 12 Year Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Description

In 1791, President George Washington signed the Whiskey Tax into law and appointed General John Neville as the collector of the revenues.

In the Summer of 1794, Major James McFarlane and his band of Whiskey Rebels, descended on Bower Hill, General Nevilles majestic west Pennsylvanian estate, in protest of the tax. On the second day of the standoff, a white flag was waved from Nevilles mansion, and McFarlane, assuming the government had surrendered, stepped out in the open and was shot dead. McFarlanes death further radicalized the resistance, inciting additional violent clashes with the government, which ultimately quelled the Whiskey Rebellion in the fall of 1794. McFarlanes brave stand, however, is a lasting tribute to American passion and our intimate and storied history with our native spirit.

McFarlanes Reserve 12 Straight Bourbon Whiskey is aged 12 years and finished in hand-selected Cabernet Sauvignon casks, the perfect toast to the rebellious spirit.
