Old Log Cabin

History that shaped the Northwest: the smugglers, the hidden coves, and the rebellious spirit that still lingers today.
Seattle’s Prohibition era had its own underground soundtrack. The station most associated with Seattle bootlegging lore was KFQX radio station, created in 1924 by Seattle bootlegging king Roy Olmstead and inventor Al Hubbard. A station surrounded by stories, whispers, and Prohibition folklore.

According to Seattle legend, Olmstead’s wife Elise Olmstead hosted bedtime-story broadcasts as “Aunt Vivian” that carried coded messages letting rum-runners know when the coast was clear. True or myth? Historians still debate it. But one thing’s certain: during Prohibition, Seattle knew how to keep a secret. KFQX later evolved into what became KOMO.

Throw Back Thursday! This advertisement from Ohio shows the Old Log Cabin bourbon whiskey brand owned and marketed by the former liquor conglomerate National Distillers Products Corporation, a company that emerged from the old “Whiskey Trust” reorganizations of the early 1900s.

The brand under this ownership was active by at least the 1930s and became more widely advertised after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. National Distillers marketed Old Log Cabin as a “Straight Bourbon Whiskey,” often using rustic frontier imagery from cabins, woodsmen, snow trails, and pioneer themes to emphasize traditional American bourbon heritage.

Step back with us to just after Prohibition ended in April 1934. This vintage ad from Economic Machinery Company proudly featured an Old Log Cabin Whiskey bottle to showcase their labeling equipment. Even then, our bottle stood as a symbol of quality worth putting front and center.

Old Log Cabin Whiskey traces its roots to the 1840s, when E.G. Booze first began distilling what would become a national legend. Through the decades, Old Log Cabin has seen many iterations of its label, each reflecting the style and spirit of its time, yet always bearing the mark of its beginnings.

Here’s to history in every detail and every pour. 🥃
