Iron City Distiller’s Reserve is a tribute to our distillers and their ability to turn even the humblest of ingredients into something magical. Made in small batches, these spirits offer a glimpse of the great things to come from our distillery.

Our Master Distiller distilled this straight Maryland-style rye at one of his former distilleries many years ago. Through careful attention to grains, yeast, and whole lot of patience, we offer you this beautifully matured whiskey. Enjoy neat, over ice, on in your favorite cocktail. Cheers!

Agricultural Revival

Our partnership with the SeedSpark Program is more than crafting spirits; it's a pledge to agricultural revival.

This collaboration focuses on rejuvenating Pennsylvania's heritage grains. By using these grains, we enhance our spirits' depth and character, reawakening a historical era.

MATT STRICKLAND

Our Master Distiller began his career in alcohol many years ago when he began doing microbiology research for the Oregon Wine industry during graduate school at Oregon State University. Upon obtaining his Master’s degree he somehow stumbled his way into the wonderous world of whiskey distillation. And once he started working with stills, he never looked back. Since then, he has built numerous distilleries both as a distiller and as a consultant. He also began teaching the science and art of distillation through numerous organizations throughout the United States, Canada, and the UK. In an effort to further the field of whiskey education he has authored countless articles, webinars, and talks. He has also written two highly regarded books for the industry, Cask Management for Distillers (White Mule Press, 2020) and Batch Distillation: Science and Practice (White Mule Press, 2021). Matt lives in Pittsburgh with his wife and two precocious daughters. His hobbies include rock climbing and shopping for cars his wife will never let him buy. He also believes that irony is not a prerequisite for listening to Journey.
