History & background

Platte Valley is produced by McCormick Distilling Co. , one of the oldest operating distilleries in America (established in 1856), located in Weston, Missouri.
The bottle is inspired by the original moonshine jugs used in the 19th and early 20th centuries for home-distilled whiskey.

The “Platte Valley” name refers to the region around the Platte River , where grain production and whiskey tradition went hand in hand.
This earthenware jug has been made in the same style for over 40 years and has become a collector's item for American whiskey enthusiasts.
