Not a bad week for our little distillery in Washington County.

On Monday our Straight Bourbon was announced as PA's representative in the Lost Lantern Whiskey United States of Bourbon and United States of Bourbon 1776 releases.

Today our Old Monongahela Full Proof Rye Whiskey was included by David Thomas Tao and VinePair as Pennsylvania's whiskey in "One Whiskey You Should Bring Home from Every State."

One bourbon.
One rye.
Two national recognitions.

We are honored to carry the Pennsylvania flag and continue the revival of historic Monongahela Rye.

Turns out people are paying attention to what's happening in Pennsylvania.

We Americans love our whiskey. Over the past 250 years, it’s a spirit that’s driven our economy, helped power westward expansion, and incited at least one rebellion. And these days, it’s made in each and every state, including the most remote corners of our star-spangled domain. A couple of ye...

We lost our Meetinghouse sign to a wind storm a few months ago. The old sign was hung from chains, the replacement sign is fastened to the building and should be impervious to wind! Just getting the place in shape for the upcoming 10th anniversary celebration!

Great bourbon comes from Pennsylvania!

Each state is represented by only one distillery and we are so proud to have been chosen as the Pennsylvania bourbon in this epic blend! 🥃

What Exactly Is Our Old English Milk Punch?

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about this cocktail! Despite the name, our Milk Punch doesn't look or taste like milk.

This cocktail is made using a centuries-old technique in which milk is added to a cocktail and then intentionally curdled. As the milk solids separate, they act as a natural filter, removing color, bitterness, and impurities from the drink. The solids are then removed, leaving behind a crystal-clear cocktail with an incredibly smooth texture and beautifully integrated flavors.

The result is a drink that is bright, elegant, and surprisingly light on the palate—while still delivering all the flavor of the original ingredients.

The process dates back hundreds of years and was popular in England and Colonial America, where clarified milk punch was prized for both its refined character and its ability to remain stable for extended periods.

If you've never tried one before, don't let the word "milk" fool you. Think of it less as a creamy cocktail and more as one of the smoothest and most fascinating drinks you'll ever experience.

Available this month at the Meetinghouse.

The Fussfungle: PA’s Forgotten Cocktail

One of the most unusual cocktails in Pennsylvania history was born right here in the Monongahela Valley.

The Fussfungle was created by the Slavic communities of McKeesport around the turn of the 20th century. A mixture of whiskey, burned brown sugar, molasses, and water, it became so popular that newspaper accounts from 1902 reported on the drink's growing reputation far beyond Western Pennsylvania.

While the original recipe has largely been lost to history, modern interpretations often feature rye whiskey, honoring the spirit of the Monongahela Valley and Pennsylvania's rich whiskey-making tradition.

At Liberty Pole Spirits, we love celebrating the stories, people, and traditions that helped shape Pennsylvania whiskey culture. Stop by the Meetinghouse and experience a taste of one of our region's most fascinating, and nearly forgotten, cocktail traditions.
