SAINT LIBERTY CELEBRATES AMERICA’S FOUNDING IDEAS OF INDEPENDENCE, JUSTICE, AND MOST OF ALL, LIBERTY.

#saintliberty #saintlibertywhiskey #MarkSoRelle

Liberty is “An expression of the American mind.” The Founders saw Liberty as the opposite of tyranny. Freedom from dependence on another’s will. The ability to choose one’s own way without interference.

Liberty has become synonymous with Freedom and the American ideals of equality and democracy. It also became a symbol of the suffragettes, these women excluded from the political system as not having the right to vote, until 1920. Saint Liberty symbolizes the hope for a better world and celebrates our early women pioneers in the spirits industry.

Saint Liberty was the hope and the light for a better future for so many immigrants, especially for the large portion of immigrants that found their way to the Montana Territory and the State of Montana. It was Saint Liberty who looked over the souls from abroad and it was also Saint Liberty who guided our Celebrated Heroines of Prohibition like Bertie Brown, Josephine Doody, Mary Curley, Mary Ann Moriarity and Nora Gallagher. With the abundance of wheat, barley and rye and the purest of water, there was no shortage of good whiskey and shine.

Saint Liberty gave these bootleggers the economic freedom to pursue their happiness and provide for their families. Saint Liberty is the light that guides us all.

Saint Liberty Whiskey recognizes unsung female heroes by showcasing a real bootlegger and her story on each bottle of Saint Liberty Whiskey. We are proud to honor the courage and legacy of these pioneering women bootleggers.

The 1920s was a decade characterized by freedoms granted, and freedoms taken away. While women secured the right to vote after nearly a century of protest, the 18th Amendment introduced Prohibition and a ban on all alcohol sales.

Under this cloud of repression, some industrious women took up the fight against Prohibition. Inspired by recent political gains, they used their passion for resistance to join the whiskey bootlegging trade. Operating kitchen stills and “home speaks,” these heroic women ensured that “hooch” never stopped flowing.
