Jack Rudy products are crafted in the United States in small batches, and distributed carefully across the world to finer bottle shops, bars, restaurants, and general fans of a delicious drink. Their goal is to take long-forgotten staples of the American bar and reinvent them, in an effort to drink like our great-grandparents might have.

Named after the founders' great-grandfather: “Jack Rudy was many things. He was a pilot who illegally flew his plane under the Ohio River Bridge (on a dare), an inventor who created a mechanical device for pharmacists to count pills, and a craftsman who once built a houseboat out of an old city bus. After serving as an aircraft mechanic in WWII, he spent his working life as an engineer. He read Popular Mechanics and National Geographic cover to cover—a curious type who made his own bullets, and then shot them into a dirt wall he constructed in his basement. In addition to being a ‘marvelous’ dancer, he loved to entertain and was known to overindulge in drink, smoke, and his wife’s gourmet cooking."
