Dad's Hat is a Pennsylvania-based rye whiskey distillery that is attempting to revive the reputation of Pennsylvania rye by creating a small batch whiskey with a focus on quality and flavour. Founded in 2011, the distillery creates an ‘old-school’ recipe rye with a mashbill of 80% grain, 20% malt (15% barley, 5% rye malt), no corn, with a sweet mash approach. The grains are sourced from local farms and temperature-controlled fermenters, doing a five-seven day low and slow ferments to develop a complex flavour.
