Anyone in the bourbon game these days knows the name “Weller” very well. Historically, though, “Weller” was not always a lone word. So what is Stitzel-Weller? Is it still around? What brands are considered Stitzel-Weller, if any? Is Pappy Stitzel-Weller?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Brief History of Stitzel-Weller Bourbon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pre-Prohibition and Prohibition Eras<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Back in the very early 1900s, a few “bigger” distilleries were operating freely and openly, and business was pretty good. WL Weller was operating at the time as a distributor, not a distiller. They had a great relationship with the A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery, distributing their goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During prohibition, post- Eighteenth Amendment, these two businesses were able to save face, continuing to do business under a medicinal license. This meant that they were probably selling their whiskey to politicians and rich folks who had found (or created) loopholes in the prohibition system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
