Old Grommes 12 Year 125 Proof Possible Stitzel-Weller
12 years. 125 proof. Old Grommes — a pre-modern era Kentucky straight bourbon with a possible Stitzel-Weller Distillery provenance, one of the most unusual and historically provocative expressions in the current Wooden Cork catalog.
Old Grommes is a little-documented American bourbon brand from the mid-20th century. The "possible Stitzel-Weller" designation reflects a considered assessment of the bottle's characteristics — the proof, age statement, and organoleptic profile are consistent with Stitzel-Weller production from the Van Winkle ownership era, though definitive provenance cannot be confirmed without additional documentation. This ambiguity is itself historically significant: many pre-modern era bourbon brands were produced at the handful of major Kentucky distilleries (Stitzel-Weller, Heaven Hill, National Distillers, Schenley) and labeled under dozens of private brand names.
At 125 proof, this is a high-proof expression by any era's standards — uncommonly concentrated for an aged bourbon at retail in the mid-20th century. Whether definitively Stitzel-Weller or not, this is a rare and historically interesting piece of American whiskey history from the pre-revival era.
