Harry in WashDC Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks for the note, Dave. I've been on a rye odyssey lately. I'll keep an eye out for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave ziegler Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) About 1 Month and 1/2 ago I went with my friends who are caretakers for the Distillery, it was very sad to see what it looked like. The 1/2 Million Gallon tanks have been scraped by the son of the man who owed the place. Police wait every day to arrest anyone who goes in there and everything possible has been destroyed. I could hardly stand seeing it. The Pine tree I mulched as a Young Man was knocked down by the Scrap Company that cut up the tanks. For no good reason then they felt like it. And everything is covered with weird writing in Paint! I do not think I will ever go there again. I will still write about the Plant and company as long as I live!

dave ziegler Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Well this is something I want to say about the Distillery. It may soon be sold, I am not allowed to say much more then that. But if it goes through most of the Explosion Proof Warehouses May be spared. I can't say how now but once it is sold I will explain how. I hope to get a walk through without being arrested after it is sold if it happens. If they do what they talk about doing I will be most happy.

dave ziegler Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Well on my memories thread I wrote about my trip to the New Liberty Distillery this week, ( The New Kinsey Distilling ). On my bottling House thread I wrote and Posted some new Pictures of the brand New retro Labels they have created for their New Old School Bottles they are raise Lettered Like the old Kinsey ones from back then and round bottles. They gave me a Bottle of their New 10 year American whiskey created to replace the 7 year Straight. It was a gift for my Birthday today as I turned 70 years today on the 23rd. This Whiskey as the young would say ROCKS good old school taste. I was very sick all week with a Pinched Nerve in my left hip, I am all but completely recovered tonight Thank God. And if you read this thread go to the threads to hear about the whiskey and also on the bottle house thread to see the new Labels. I have some loose Labels I will Post later this week of the new Labels.

dave ziegler Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 I really look forward to when I get to go to Kinsey for the last time soon. Want to get pictures of what is left of the Plant since all the tanks are now gone cut for scrap. And everything walled shut will be surreal for me. But for History sake I want a final set of pictures of what is left of the Kinsey Distillery, it was a great place to work and a beautiful place back in the day. Here are a couple of Pictures from back in the day. 1. When the barn was torn down where DSP-Pa-10 pot stool once was I got this part of the the stair case and still have it. 2. Also this part 3. Harry Publickers Sitting room outside Si Neumans Office.

Walking into the Plant. 2. Inside the Old Kinsey 1933 Bottling house which was used for Liquors till the Plant closed in 1986. 3. Looking where the bottling Lines were. 4. Looking up to where the second floor was. When I first went there you could go up the steps were there. 5. Steps to go out of the building to the old long gone Kinsey office. 6. Looking from the front near the road back at the bottle line area. I will be posting on the Memories thread later today so check out this one and the Fire Observation thread I have posted on.

Poobah90 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hey Dave do you recognize this bottle? Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave ziegler Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Poobah90 Yes I Know it well Wish I had one to drink I think that was Done By Charles Medley After he Bought the Brand and all of the Old Hickory they had in Barrels ,Bottles and in Tankers! I talked to Him Many Years ago Now and we Talked about How Sad it was when it Closed. He Knew MR Si S Neuman Personally And we talked for While I called him from My Office Where I worked He was a Great Person to Talk Distilling with. That is Still My Favorite Whiskey But Hard to Find any Original Old Hickory now. Poobah90 Thanks for Looking. I was 19 years when I started working There, I will Be 75 YRS old in Sept.

Poobah90 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Thanks Dave for replying. I was just given this bottle today from my elderly aunt who had it and never opened it for 40+ years!! It has an "83" etched in the bottom of the bottle so I assume it was bottled in Owensboro, KY in 1983? It says "Kentucky's Finest" on the label, but I assume that was very "misleading" because it was actually distilled in PA and only bottled in KY? Would it also be safe to assume that this bottle was at least 6 years old? Edited April 3 by Poobah90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Last time I was in PA, I looked over the Kinsey line. I believe it’s all just a name now. The rye was likely from MGP (IN distilled), but 2019 was the last time I looked at it. For what it’s worth, I really enjoy the Wigle Rye from Pittsburgh. It has a tart spicy cherry note to it that is delightfully different. https://www.finewineandgoodspirits.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10051&storeId=10051&productId=1945886&langId=-1&partNumber=000007765prod&errorViewName=ProductDisplayErrorView&categoryId=1334013&top_category=25208&parent_category_rn=25208&urlLangId=&variety=Whiskey&categoryType=Spirits&fromURL=%2fwebapp%2fwcs%2fstores%2fservlet%2fCatalogSearchResultView%3fstoreId%3d10051%26catalogId%3d10051%26langId%3d-1%26categoryId%3d1334013%26variety%3dWhiskey%26categoryType%3dSpirits%26top_category%3d%26parent_category_rn%3d%26sortBy%3d5%26searchSource%3dE%26pageView%3d%26beginIndex%3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
