For nearly 25 years Jeremiah Weed has labored in obscurity. In the early 1980s he received some level of notoriety when his name was given to a new bourbon liqueur, borne of long tradition from the hills of eastern Kentucky and East Tennessee. These parts of the country, still inaccessible to most Americans, have a tradition of whiskey making that long predates the American Revolution. It is from that ancestry that both Jeremiah Weed, the man, and Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur, trace their roots.

For most of these long years Mr. Weed labored quietly advancing his little known brand before retiring back to the hollows of the extreme eastern Kentucky mountains, asking that his precise location never be disclosed. Having no close family in the United States, only one or two business associates know where he resides.

Over the years Mr. Weed was a fixture, albeit a quiet one, around military airbases, and his special product became legendary with many U.S. Air Force flying aces. Jeremiah Weed Bourbon Liqueur is the drink of choice when fighter pilots finish their flights. The Bourbon Liqueur has a similar following among horseback riders, who fill their flasks when taking to the woods in the winter. It is known to be a delightful bracer during the shivery stops along a quiet horse path deep in the cold woods.

What is especially pleasing is that Mr. Jeremiah Weed recently has agreed to periodically leave retirement and make selected appearances, as well as render his views on various happenings
around the country and the world. As he has thoughts on different topics they will be posted in
this space. Watch for them.
