About the product: Originally distilled in North Carolina during the twilight of pre-Prohibition America, Henry Clarke Whiskey embodies the resilience of southern distilling tradition. Clarke—once a well-known figure in the region’s whiskey trade—stood firm in the face of Prohibition-era pressure, refusing to compromise on quality or principle. Though his distillery faded with the onset of national restrictions, his legacy endured in stories of bold independence and craftsmanship. Today, 1797 Spirits is reviving the Henry Clarke name—paying tribute to North Carolina’s gritty past while crafting a whiskey that lives up to modern expectations.
