Dad's Hat Rye

on it. The hat always seemed to fit his mood – or the occasion – perfectly. But my mind somehow keeps coming back to those hats. People don’t really wear hats much anymore, I suppose. It’s become an affectation or a fashion statement. But in those days, it was something more. That we cared about quality, polish and finish. A subtle, personal signature. From an era when taking the time to do it the right way mattered. I founded Dad’s Hat because I, too, want to do it the right way. To take up a tradition. To make something that mattered. By hand, in small batches. Using only natural, local ingredients and the most careful methods. Dad’s Hat is made right here in Pennsylvania — the birthplace of Rye Whiskey — in honor of my father, who enjoyed rye whiskey and served it at the family’s tavern; and of that wonderful, optimistic time in America’s history when we made a lot of things and took care to make them well. My heart tells me that many of us are searching for that spirit again. I believe Dad’s Hat Rye reflects that same simple, uniquely American personality better than any other whiskey. Crisp. Smooth. Delicious — not lingering or heavy-handed in its finish. Perfect for every occasion. After tasting Dad’s Hat, we hope that you feel the same. By the way, I kept those hats. I still wear them. And you know what? They fit… Perfectly.
