Whiskey Is In Their Blood
By OAN Reporting Staff
The Old Dominick Distillery story starts back in 1859 with an Italian immigrant and a fruit cart that grew to be one of the largest distribution companies in the South. Add in a Kentucky woman who didn't drink until she was 21 (Alex Castle), and you get both the first whiskey distillery in Memphis as well as the first female head distiller in the state of Tennessee since Prohibition.
