Our Story

Discover the passion behind 1745 Spirits, a small batch whiskey celebrating Frederick, Maryland's rich heritage and craftsmanship.

Frederick's 1745 Bourbon

In 1745, a spark ignited in the heart of Maryland. A fledgling town, Frederick, rose from the fertile fields, its chimneys whispering dreams of industry and community.

Today, the spirit of 1745 lives on in this bottle. A collaboration born from the fiery spirit of dragon distillery (Frederick’s 1st distillery) and the storytelling magic of Frederick city media, it's a toast to the town's vibrant tapestry, where hip meets historic and dragons once danced in the twilight sky.

Let the smooth amber liquid carry you back to the birth of Frederick. Taste the grit of the pioneers, the whisper of the Potomac, the warmth of a community forged in fire.

This is 1745: where spirits ascend, and legends are born anew.
