New Liberty Maryland Club

Mash bill of 51% corn and 49% malted barley, aged in new oak barrels for at least three years, bottled at 95 proof. The award-winning New Liberty Distillery of Philadelphia has developed a Maryland Heritage Series to pay homage to this somewhat under-appreciated episode of America’s whiskey history. The series features three different whiskeys: a straight bourbon, a straight rye, and an eight-year-old American whiskey. New Liberty Distillery describes the undertaking as “reinterpreting some of the famous, but forgotten, Maryland brands that once formed the foundation of the American whiskey industry” – and in doing so, they’re reviving some classics for today’s whiskey drinkers. At the creative and technical helm of cultivating this series is New Liberty Distillery’s master distiller Robert J. Cassell, an award-winning pioneer in craft distilling. His quest to re-create new whiskeys that capture the spirit of old, Cassel developed Maryland Club Straight Bourbon, Melvale Straight Rye, and Melky Miller 8 Year Old American Whiskey.
