Dead Distillers
Shipping & Delivery
Goods orders usually ship within a couple of business days. If you've got a mixed order packing both merch and whiskey, they might show up in separate packages as they ship from different locations, but you’ll always get two tracking numbers to keep tabs on both. Any questions, get in touch with our team and we'll be happy to help.
The book (written by our co-founders!) presents 50 fascinating—and sometimes morbid—biographies from this historic trade’s bygone days, including farmers, scientists, oligarchs, criminals, and the occasional US president. Readers may be surprised to find the names George Washington, Henry Frick, or Andrew Mellon alongside the usual suspects long associated with booze—Jasper “Jack” Daniel, Jim Beam, and Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle. From the Whiskey Rebellion to Prohibition to the recent revival of craft spirits, the history of whiskey, moonshine, and other spirits remains an important part of Americana. Featuring historical photos, infographics, walking-tour maps, and noteworthy vintage newspaper clippings, it’s a rich visual and textual reference to a key piece of American history.
Dead Distillers is a spirited portrait of the unusual and storied origins of forgotten drunkenness.
