Col Joseph Williams\'s first still began production in 1768. Making whiskey for friends and family, he would settle for only the best. As word of his quality spread, so did demand, requiring greater production. The operation was moved to allow for this expansion, being passed from father to son through four generations. In 1887 the operation passed to Nicholas Glen, who used the name "Old Nick" and continued to expand production while maintaining the high standards of his ancestors. Following his death in 1913, his widow was forced to stop all sales in 1919 when Federal Prohibition occurred. Today the 6th and 7th generations of the Williams family are producing these same quality products for your enjoyment!
