Ponfeigh Distillery is a place and meaning that sits deep in the tradition of the Western Pennsylvania and now one of the finest rye whiskeys in the world. Ponfeigh is on a mission to revive the history, culture, and stature of Monongahela Rye to its pre-Prohibition prominence. Each meticulously crafted spirit embodies the essence of our region and pays a sincere homage to Western PA's heritage.
What does a small town in Southern Pennsylvania and a small town in Southwest Missouri have in common? Tall Pines Moonshine! Both are the first legal Moonshine distilleries in their respective counties since the prohibition, carrying-on the art of hand crafted products created with traditional recipes and offering unforgettable grain to glass experiences. Come experience "a different class of Hillbilly".
