The Lamont Street witch blended this herself in a smoky cauldron, or so the legend says. A hearty concoction of Bourbon, Rye, and American Single Malt (bottled at 47% ALC/VOL), Lamont Street is sure to make you feel the magic of the changing season. There is only good luck to be found in this bottle, inspired by the story of Delilah Covenwood, the witch who made her way to Mount Pleasant Club Whiskey through the creative artwork and storytelling of Heidi Phelps.

It all started with the old whiskey bottle found during a renovation...
The bottle, likely left behind by the original builders in 1911, was discovered in the roof of a Mt. Pleasant row house on 19th Street. There is an old tradition where the crew celebrates the completion of the job by leaving the last bottle consumed hidden in the house for someone in the future to discover. In the history section, read more about pre-Prohibition Mt. Pleasant Club Whiskey, William D. Barry and the old bottle found in a row house on 19th Street.
