Founders’ Cask VI
Each time we go searching for the next single barrel for our Founders’ series it is a whiskey adventure. As we taste our way through the barrels for worthy candidates for our Cask Strength selections we find many that are ultimately selected by our customers for their Single Barrel programs. (See details below).
From time to time we find distinctly unique barrels that we set aside for consideration for our own local Founders’ release. Now that the last of the highly successful Cask V is spent, we are more than pleased to announce the launch of Cask VI.
These tasty bottles will be made available first at our Mill Street Tasting Room on September 28, and we will start taking orders that afternoon on our online store for shipping to Pennsylvania residents only.
Don’t hesitate on this rare rye as it is expected to sell out fast!
Founders’ Cask VI Tasting Notes
This wonderful 6-year-old barrel (filled in August 2017 and subsequently bottled in September 2023) has a very enticing profile with a nose that reminds us of perfectly roasted marshmallows with just a hint of wood smoke which contrasts perfectly with the rye spice, a hint of graham cracker, vanilla and root beer, plus a little heat with every sip.
Cask Strength Single Barrels
We’re also thrilled to announce the release of a special proprietary blend “Hat Trick” edition of our 6-year-old Straight Rye Whiskey for a collaboration with The Prime Barrel club.

DIRECT DELIVERY TO PENNSYLVANIA CONTINUES
During the height of the business shutdowns this spring, when Pennsylvania’s Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores were all closed, the Dad’s Hat Distillery launched our online store so our customers in PA could order their favorite farm-to-bottle rye whiskeys delivered directly to their homes. Many longtime fans, as well as folks new to our brand, took advantage of our new service.
Even though the Pennsylvania’s retail stores are gradually reopening, we’ve decided to keep the Dad’s Hat Rye online store going to offer many of our products not carried in most local stores to our loyal Keystone State customers.
Of course, in addition to our award-winning classic Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey (90 Proof), you’ll find our distinctive Vermouth Finish Rye (94 Proof) as well as our 4-Year-Old Straight Rye (95 Proof). Purchases of six or more bottles also qualify for free delivery.
NEW POCKET COCKTAILS
Looking to toast to summer with some mixed drinks to go? We now offer single serving bottles of ready-to-drink rye cocktails. Select from our classic Manhattan or the timeless Old Fashioned (coming soon), carefully made with the best vermouth and bitters. Just stir with ice, pour in a glass and enjoy!
Dad’s Hat Pocket Cocktails are available in 4-packs exclusively from our online store. Order now for delivery by UPS in 1 to 3 days to Pennsylvania residents only. Cheers!
EXPANDING INTO MORE NEW MARKETS
Dad’s Hat continues to enjoy strong success in our local markets, like our home state of Pennsylvania (where we are the third largest selling rye whiskey brand), New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Our distillery’s reputation is growing worldwide as we are now available in three more new markets.
Let them know you want Dad’s Hat Rye! If you are in any of these locations, tell your local merchant or bar to contact our distributors.

Now Open in Bristol, PA
Dad’s Hat Mill Street Tasting Room
Earlier this year, Dad’s Hat opened our first satellite location on Mill Street in the heart of Bristol Borough in Bucks County. This intimate venue features world-class cocktails and many outstanding whiskeys, spirits, beers, ciders and wines sourced from across the great state of Pennsylvania.
Whether you are visiting the Bristol waterfront to dine at one of the many outstanding restaurants, to take in the first class entertainment at the Bristol Riverside Theater or just want to try one of our fantastic cocktails, be sure to drop on by for a spirited toast!
— NEW PRODUCT —
Expanding With Brandy
This year we are trying something brand new – Apple Brandy. Adding new products to our lineup is always fun and since apple brandy is a very traditional American spirit, we are thrilled to see it make a comeback. Our brandy is carefully distilled on our pot still and barrel aged to give it a gentle kiss of oak.
This is a very limited run that will only be available at the Dad’s Hat distillery, our Mill Street Tasting Room or online for shipping to Pennsylvania residents.
For this amazing new seasonal favorite, we sourced some delicious apple cider from our friends right here in Bucks County at Manoff Market Cidery in Solebury, PA. Manoff is unique in that they are using varietals that are grown specifically to make hard cider. We are delighted with our first batch and plan to make more next year.
Rare Rye Returns
The wait is over! Dad’s Hat Bottled in Bond Rye release for the 2022 season is on the way. This is the 5th year we have selected a limited number of barrels to make up our annual Bottled in Bond release. Our aim every year is to find barrels that present a distinctive flavor profile that makes each year uniquely delicious.
All of the 2022 edition is whiskey that was distilled and barreled between January and June of 2017. Initially, the 2022 product will only be available at the distillery, at the Mill Street Tasting Room or from our online store.
The 2021 release is now out of stock at the distillery, but we understand there are still bottles to be had in the Pennsylvania Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores. Stay tuned for announcements about availability in other states.
New States & Distributors
Look out Missouri and Louisiana! Dad’s Hat is now available in your states. We have now launched our products with Bonded Beverage in Missouri and PF Importers in Louisiana.
Of course, we are thrilled to be available in these historic homes for jazz music and classic cocktails. In particular, we look forward to ordering two of the all-time classic cocktails made with Dad’s Hat Rye Whiskey – the Sazerac and the Vieux Carré – right in New Orleans, where these drinks were born. Tell your friends in MO and LA to ask for us at their favorite retailers and restaurants.
We are also pleased to announce that we are now distributed by PM Spirits in New York State. They specialize in selling distinctive artisanal spirits and we are proud to be part of their exclusive portfolio.
Take the Tour
Dad’s Hat is back in action offering tours of our Canal Street distillery most Saturday afternoons. Reserve your spot today and visit the distillery located within Bristol’s historic Grundy Commons complex to see firsthand how we make “Rye the Right Way“!
