Expert description

Medley Old Version Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is an American bourbon from Kentucky, bottled at 43%. The Medley family has distilled whiskey since 1800, when John Medley IV moved his family from Maryland to Washington, Kentucky. The family tradition continued across generations, and in 1901 George Medley relocated the distillery to Owensboro for better access to river shipping on the Ohio River. After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, Thomas Aquinas Medley began production of a new bourbon, and in 1940 five Medley brothers founded the Medley Distilling Company. The Medley Bros. label was originally created in the 1940s as the brothers' shared tribute to the family's whiskey heritage, and has since been revived by the seventh and eighth generations of the family.
