A classic single barrel bourbon made by eight generations of the Medley

distillery near Lebanon, KY in the late 1800's. The Wathen's
later acquired the Old Grand Dad label and produced that bourbon for
some time. As well the Medleys marked Western Kentucky as an

operated three distilleries all in a row along the western side of
Owensboro, one being the current Charles Medley site.
