Honoring Maryland’s ‘Hunting and Conservation Excellence’ with Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies

ANNAPOLIS, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- The conservation of wildlife and the habitats they depend upon is the reason why Theodore Roosevelt founded the Boone and Crockett Club in 1887. Prestige Imports LLC and Katcef Brothers Inc. in Annapolis MD has partnered with this respected organization to create, produce, and nationally distribute a line of Boone and Crockett Club Whiskies.

The Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye and American Blended Whiskey are handcrafted in a time-honored heritage that would make the Club's namesakes, Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett very proud.

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is 86 Proof, aged for two years and handcrafted. A responsibility to conserve nature and drink responsibly is a responsibility of all citizens.

Straight Rye Whiskey combines small town, time-honored tradition for a rich and balanced taste at 86 Proof and aged for two years. Please always enjoy the Great Outdoors Responsibly

American Blended Whiskey uses 30% Straight Bourbon Whiskey and 70% Bourbon Distillate to produce our 80 Proof Whiskey which reflects our commitment for over 130 years of conserving wild places.

The Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies sales and distribution partners is the Anheuser Busch beer distributor network in Maryland. Our distributors are very excited in Helping Preserve Maryland's Hunting and Fishing Heritage through our Fundraising program. We help raise funds locally across Maryland by donating items to Hunting and Fishing clubs which then use the money for local Conservation Projects. "We are very excited to partner with Boone and Crockett Club Craft Whiskies," says Ryan Luz from Katcef Brothers our master distributor in Maryland.

"Wildlife and wild places are abundant today because of the traditions of sportsmen," said Timothy C. Brady, president of the Boone and Crockett Club. "American-made spirits exemplify similar traditions. The camaraderie built at hunting camp or on a stream, and stories shared, are all part of this heritage and outdoor lifestyle. With 133 years of shared conservation success and stories, the Boone and Crockett Club is excited to offer a label that represents the North American sportsmen and be a part of the stories that will one day be a part of our shared legacy."

"We're excited to represent Boone and Crockett in our DC and Maryland markets and have the opportunity to bring their world class line of whiskies to our retailers and consumers," said Neal B Katcef of Katcef Brothers.

Of the many accomplishments the Club has contributed a few that stand out are; the establishment of our national forests and the National Forest Service; many national parks and the National Park Service; the national wildlife refuge system; the Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; structured hunting seasons and game laws; and the funding mechanisms for conservation including the Federal Duck Stamp and Wildlife Restoration Act (Pittman-Robertson).

The Club is most widely known among sportsmen for its scoring system and as the keeper of the record books for North American big game, as well as the ethical code of conduct of sportsmen, known as fair chase.

Lost Heritage Rye Grain Becomes New PA Whiskey – 2019 Phila. Whiskey Event Promotes Collaboration Between Farmer and Distiller

LITITZ, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- For the first time in decades, the long-lost heritage grain, Rosen rye, will be distilled into rye whiskey in Pennsylvania! "The last man to distill Rosen rye into whiskey at Michter's Distillery in Schaefferstown, Pa. will be the first to distill it here again," said Laura Fields, founder of the American Whiskey Convention and CEO of the non-profit, The Delaware Valley Fields Foundation.

"Dick Stoll, of Stoll & Wolfe Distillery, is a legend in the distilling world, and it is an honor to be able to deliver our Rosen rye grain into his very capable hands," adds Fields.

Starting in 2015, The Delaware Valley Fields Foundation's SeedSpark Project has been cultivating and re-planting Rosen rye seeds on agricultural test plots in State College, Pa to produce enough usable grain to distill into whiskey. The SeedSpark Project has gone from 5 ounces of Rosen rye sourced from the USDA to over 850 pounds today! 500 lbs. of that rye grain will placed into fermenters on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 and distilled into rye whiskey on Saturday, September 7th at Stoll & Wolfe Distillery.

Pennsylvania Rosen Rye Whiskey:

The owners of Stoll & Wolfe Distillery and the Delaware Valley Fields Foundation are inviting members of the press, whiskey experts, and distillers to attend and witness the first distillation of Rosen Rye Whiskey since Michter's Distillery in Schaefferstown last distilled it over 50 years ago. Guests are invited to view both the fermentation process on September 3rd and the main event of the distillation itself on September 7th.

Tours of the distillery, photographic opportunities and interviews will be available with the owners of Stoll & Wolfe Distillery, master distiller, Dick Stoll, CEO of DVFF, Laura Fields, local grain farmer (first to be given Rosen Rye grain for planting) Robert McDonald of Dancing Star Farms and members of the Penn State Agricultural Extension. Please contact Laura Fields for more information or requests.

Rosen rye is historically documented as being an important part of the grain bills that helped define Pennsylvania whiskey in its pre-Prohibition heyday. It was used by historic Pennsylvania distilleries such as Michter's Distillery in Schaefferstown, Pa. Michter's Distillery (a.k.a. Bomberger's).

SeedSpark Project:

The Delaware Valley Fields Foundation's SeedSpark Project is funded by their annual event, the American Whiskey Convention, which takes place each spring in Philadelphia. Each resurrected seed varietal is offered to local farmers once enough seed has been propagated and well-documented research trials have determined which farming practices can be utilized to grow the healthiest and most viable crop. Learn more: http://www.seedsparkproject.com.

What is a Heritage Grain?

When Prohibition was enacted, it wasn't just alcohol production that stopped. Many grains stopped being produced due to the sudden drop in demand. When farmers shifted their attention to other crops, their knowledge and use of those old crops slowly faded away. These are the "lost grains" that we now call heritage grains. Due to changes in local agricultural land use, climate and soil health, many of these seeds which have not been planted in decades face challenges that can seem daunting to a modern local farmer. The Delaware Valley Fields Foundation is making every effort to remove any costly "trial and error" period from the farmer's workload by providing them with growing directions and guidelines for a successful crop using these heritage seeds.

Heritage grains can be very important to the local Pennsylvania economy. If we can help establish these grains with farmers and producers, we can create an industry that is unique to Pennsylvania helping to provide a premier identity for the region. Seed Spark is working to bring back some of those "lost" grains that the region was once famous for. We are working with United States Department of Agriculture Research Service, local universities and farmers to resurrect these treasures. In doing so, we will help kick start economic development in the Delaware Valley and across the state.
