ILLfarmboy Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 All I can say, it must have been some really straight laced, buttoned down, country club, Ward and June Cleaver types not to have seen the unintended comedy in some of those ads.

cowdery Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Bellows apparently had enough sales for Beam to keep making it after they bought National. I'm not sure where it sold/sells or if they still make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdery Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 The warehouses for the Canada Dry Distillery are still standing and owned by Wild Turkey. They are right across the road from the Camp Nelson Cemetery, just north of the bridge over the Kentucky River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiliary Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I think it was the other way around or perhaps both ways. It was a distillery before Prohibition but was a fine limestone building and was converted into a hotel during Prohibition, then back into a distillery after 1933.Was that picture taken from a balloon? Hopefully I can spread some insight about the Hawkins' and distilling. Five generations of big time distilling beginning around 1850 in Lawrenceburg Kentucky, but never any credit as far as history goes.... You're correct, my Great Grandfather Hurd Hawkins 4th generation distiller, went to Mexico during prohibition and assisted with some tequila distilleries. After prohibition he returned and his sons Mel and Ballard refurbed the distillery in Camp Nelson. Photo was taken from another cliff to the East of the distillery. There were close to 10 different brands bottled from the stuff which was made there, variants depended on age mainly - was all the same stuff. Old Hawk, Aunt Jinny , and Canada Dry were 3 of the ones I know of ... Here are some photos of Hurd and Mel distilling at the distillery now known as Four Roses. Move this post if need be.

cowdery Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Canada Dry, aka Kentucky River, is south of Lexington near Camp Nelson, which was a Union supply depot during the Civil War. It is in Jessamine County.The Hawkins family is primarily associated with the distilling history of Anderson County, which is northwest of Jessamine. In particular they were involved with the two distilleries located in the vicinity of the current Four Roses plant.The photograph of the fermentation area looks pretty similar to the current plant, but the mash cooker shown is completely different. The third picture is the most interesting, as one of the men is holding a mash rake and has it in a can. I suspect they are getting ready to innoculate a fermentation tank with yeast.

hiliary Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 No, I don't work there. I work for a company called RR Donnelley.I grew up smelling the mash in the air from Wild Turkey and Eagle Rare in Lawrenceburg KY though. Also witnessed the huge Wild Turkey fire years ago from my home. Eagle Rare was made where Four Roses is made now during the 70's. Would have loved to have been the seventh generation distiller somewhere but wasn't in the cards for me I guess. I'll post some pics of my collection of the family goods at some time. I also have a complete case of unopened Canada Dry Bourbon leftover from a 1960 presidential campaign party for Kennedy, found in a hotel in NYC. ( A lucky Ebay find). Pretty cool having some bourbon which my Grandfather made way before I was born... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
